I know many people argue against cloning on religious grounds and I consider myself to be religious, but I find no explicit reson why cloning should be banned using the NT Bible as a reference.

My issue with cloning comes into play when it looks like clones would be used as fields of harvest.

Hey, my liver is going bad so lets make a clone and cut that liver out and put it in me. Now I've got a problem if it takes a full human clone to produce my new liver. If science can clone just a liver for me and nothing else then lets get going on cloning.

The problematic issue centers on the in vitro process. If cloning to reproduce a fully expressed, living individual human is the goal(and it's hardly a surprise there's nothing in the NT regarding cloning), no individual is being discarded. I still don't like the notion of designer individual human beings.

As to your other query, if science can someday grow organs using only your individual stem cells (and there now known to be throughout your body), I'm all for that!
