zzinnia66.... Not sure if your question was for me or not but I do have an opinion. Being a deist, I do not believe in a "personal God" and tend towards a humanistic view. Cloning humans is a controversial subject as we all know and the strongest objections come from the religious community--primarily those that are monotheistic such as Christianity, Judaism and Islamism. Their beliefs are pretty much entrenched and not likely to change for reasons involving their personal faith or blind beliefs. From their perspective, God is in control of everything. He/She is supposedly omnipotent and omnipresent, a concept that I find not only bogus but utterly ridiculous. The God they have created is a kind of spiritual elephantiasis, pervasive and always watching and knowing both our thoughts and deeds ad nauseum. Eastern religions have more credibility as they are free of the dogma and moral certitude that accompany most other religions and would probably leave issues such as cloning in the hands of the human creators. From a medical or scientific view, there would be proponents as well as opponents for there are logical, medical, scientific and moral considerations that must be addressed prior to a resolution. I won't go into detail regarding the above but one example from a medical position would be selective cloning in which genetic and/or hereditary factors would be considered, thus greatly improving quality of life and longevity. Everything considered, I believe the issue is inherently intractable. It is comparable to the abortion controversy with strong opinions from both sides that are not going to change. So....there will certainly be more human cloning and the arguments both pro and con will continue. Where it will all lead remains unanswerable considering specifics but highly predictable considering the opposing views that address moral and religious precepts.

great!
