One thing I haven't seen brought up is that these clones are made from cells taken from a human with permission. I haven't made up my mind on this one yet, but, just as a scenario - If my heart is going bad, and I give some cell tissue in order for an embryo with my exact DNA to be grown to the point that stem cells may be removed to replenish my heart tissue, or to grow another one...

it's a big step from, but not unlike, donating blood ahead of surgery for my own use during the surgery.

Before you jump all over me as a heartless evil bastard - I just posted the above for discussion.

I'm not going to call you any names, so don't worry about that:^) What I will say is that parents do not, (while not under Roe v Wade, in truth, anyway) have the right to give permission to kill their children for any reason, including the purpose of exploiting the body parts. Parents should be responsible for the care and nuture of their offspring, not their killing.

I think you would be considered the parent of your clone, and since you do not have the rights of ownership over the body of any other human being, including your offsrpring, therefore you would have no right in truth to give permission for such a thing.

Which reminds me of another reason that cloning is wrong; it is the creation of a human being outside the bond of marriage.

Cordially,
