Human cloning now possible?

you raise an interesting point for those religious people out there! if cloning works and only "god" is able to give a soul, then a soul is BS cos it can be made by humans, hence in all likeliness, the soul does not exist.

Well spotted :cool:

Deserves a new thread, perhaps.
 
This is good news for Stem cell researchers. No more having to sidestep the soul issue.
 
All of you thinking about old models/actresses to clone..
Imagine if we could bring Aristotle/Plato back, Einstein even...
Moses?
Jesus?
Adam and Eve?
Walt Disney? :P

the possibilities, now how do we get adam and eve's dna? hmm..
 
Back on the soul issue I still don't see how cloning kills the fact that there is or is not a soul.

I don't know whether or not there is so I am not biased btw.

All I am saying is that if a clone is erm... "born" then a new soul will possess the body. So an evil Einstein lookalike will exist thats all.

For instance did you know (and I vaguely remember this so facts are a little misty and I stand to be corrected) that the human gene code only allows for a good 10 or 11 billion combinations (we don't have a long way to go ey?! what are we now ... 6 billion?). So what, you have 2 people with the same genetic code. Doesn't mean they have the same soul. If it exists that is :p
 
Regardless of the moral high ground some people take, I don't see why anyone would be against a future where we could rid our children of problem genes.
 
Clone of myself and a brain-transplant at 13yrs of age, when I'm ready to leave original body :D
 
Sure there are a lot of benefits, but increasing life spans would give rise to wild overpopulation.

I have no problem if it were used to cure previously incurable diseases (in order to ease our suffering) or to help couples who cannot procreate naturally etc. But I do get a little uneasy around the thought of each human living for 500 years. Personally I think that we should live as long as we naturally can, bar disease. Death is a part of life, and a very necessary one at that. It's natures way of controlling life's populations.
