"They would probably clone soldiers first knowing the Human race. Every new development gets exploited by the military first. Sad but true
The internet was for military "
The Internet was created in-house at DARPA,yes. But the World Wide Web was made possible by Tim Berners-Lee and given to the world for free. |

"Should human cloning be legalised?
What would be the point?
of cloning or legalising it?
Both??"
Cloning might be used for all sorts of reasons. A much loved partner or child dies in an accident...clone them, hundreds of soldiers, factory workers, servants required...clone them.
The above examples are reasons I'd like to see it legalised so that legislation could be put in place to regulate it but I wouldn't want to be on the committee discussing the ethics |

I'll pass thanks. All those Epsilons servants slaves soldiers.
Clone a lost child. How could it ever replace the one who had been lost.
Dystopia written large....
No thanks. |

Massively unethical. I doubt it’ll happen in my lifetime.

Also what's the point in cloning a loved one if it then takes 30 years for the clone to become that person physically by which time you're dead or ancient. And the clone will have different memories and have grown up in a different environment, so despite looking the same it will be an entirely different person.... |

I'd like a 3some with a clone of me. I reckon I'd be a right good fuck but it would end in a fight to the death, which one of me would win, that's the question?

I fear the clone might win Aunty P....just because it would be hopped up on all the juice and vitamins it would of be given to get it healthy....but would we ever really know....unless the clone was marked/stamped in someway!! 
...actually scrap that Original Aunty P wins....street smarts learnt win out in the bitch fight!!    |

"Should human cloning be legalised? "
I watched Orphan Black from beginning to end and much as I like the idea of hot clones, I'd be against it.
I also read Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. It would put you off cloning forever  |

I don't think it works like that. Cloning a person does not mean the clone will follow the same life or career path of the donor. Blade Runner didn't work out well!..  |

I don't understand what the purpose would be, say you wanted to bring Elvis back and cloned him... He's not going to be Elvis because it's life experience that shapes who you not mere biology. He might hate singing and peanut butter.
I can imagine it being used for organ harvesting but again, why? We can already grow individual organs, why grow an entire person for that and why do they need to be a clone? |

It's not only about cloning whole people / animals.
We can clone useful body parts like replacement lungs, hearts and joints. The new bits will be recognised as "self" by our immune systems. We would not have to take immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection + antibiotic and antiviral drugs to prevent infections.
So the parts are better than thge whole. |

The truth is I have no idea how cloning would work in practice.
I have no doubt it will happen legally or not.
Stephen Hawkings theorised that it might be possible to genetically engineered DNA based life to survive indefinitely or at least 100,000 years. Now that's scary. |
