You don’t have to kill humans to clone humans.

RE: You don't have to kill humans to clone humans.

Yes, you do. First, you kill and injure women who donate their eggs as the raw material from which cloning starts. Every egg donor suffers, at minimum, some organ damage from scarring and increased cancer risk, but some die outright of ovarian hyperstimulation. Then, you kill jillions of cloned embryos trying to make a viable clone. Then you finally, presumably, if God doesn't stop you, get an actual clone that would otherwise survive to at least produce stem cells (4 days), and you kill it for the stem cells, OR on the really deep, dark side of humanity, you grow it up in a surrogate until it starts forming organs and then you “harvest” the organs. There is already some speculative work on how far along the embryonic development needs to be to have a useful organ for transplant.

Oh I know that. I was just trying to point out what I see as craziness in obama’s thinking process.

The man see’s nothing wrong with the idea of killing born alive babies or destroying human embryos for research, but he is against cloning? You don’t have to end a life to clone.

Personally I think his moral compass is broken, or maybe he was just born without a soul.
