Rules for Discussion.

1 If you dont like someones opinion then bite your tongue an sit on your hands ok.

2 This is about peoples opinions so they should be no bloody need for links to scientific articles of any kind or links to religious articles about why cloning is against god or links to youtube vids either.

3 All im looking for is 3 things Who you want to clone, what you want to clone and why you want to clone them.

4 They has to be a reason you cant just say you would clone your ex so you can dump her or clone a t rex because you want to know how small its arms really were.

5 If a certain few people even think about taking this off topic and you know who you are then turn around an walk out the door.

Ok i think ive got things clear so discuss.

Who id clone would be me.

What id clone would be a panda

Why id clone me easy perfect organ donor when i need one an why a panda just to see if a male panda would find itself attractive enough to mate with if you tweak the genome so the clone was a female.

Well, a clone of a person would never be the same person you knew, they would just look the same (assuming the same diet and physical activity). Of course, this brings in the whole Nature vs Nurture argument. For the record, I feel that Nature gives us the potential to be who we can be, Nurture determines what we do with that potential. For example, Peyton Manning might not be a QB if say his father had a different job, but he would be successful at anything he did like his older brother is who is not in Football.

Now, to specifically answer your question, I would clone some of the dogs that I had growing up if I had to choose anything to clone. I don't know if I would clone myself for an organ donor. But I might clone myself so I can slap some sense into me at an earlier age.

I agree completely with the nature/nurture thing as you can naturally be skilled in something but never realize your true potential if you don't nurture it.

Of course if I could make a carbon copy clone then I would clone myself for a variety of reasons but I don't consider animals objects or a "what" so I can't answer that part.

I'd find a young genius who's showing great promise within science, clone him multiple times (like thousands of clones) and then set them free on the world and allow them to progress in scientific areas.

Who- I wouldn't want to clone any person.

What- I would want to clone a gold bar.

Why- We don't need two of any person. One is enough. I would want to clone a gold bar because I would then have two.

Boring aren't I?
