The problem is working with a limited gene pool. Less diversity in a gene pool leads to a greater chance of mutations or defects. It would be cool, but there are more risks involved.

wtf? so a clone would be nothing like its original? just like a twin would be nothing like its twin sister/brother? the genes would be exactly the same, experiences do change things, but the genes also play a very important role and the clone would be very much like its original, although not exactly the same.

and what do you think a soul of person is? LMAO IT HAS NOTHING
NOTHING NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION in terms of feelings and motives and understanding of society. Bioligcly is one thing the clone wouldn't anything like the original by the way he acts and shit. Genes mean nothing if you clone your girlfriend or wife and wait X ammount of years till she becomes you girl's age she will be alike in a very few ways.

I can understand why someone would want to have their pet cloned after its dead but I don't think it makes much sense to. Its not going to be a carbon copy of the pet, the only thing that would be the same is the genetic-makeup. It won't even look exactly the same because the fur coloration will be different. So why go to all that trouble when you can just get another freakin cat?

In other debate, do animals have emotions?

Why would you clone somebody (something) if it weren't mentally identical? Well, for a start, so we can smoke as many fags as we want and have two perfectly compatable lungs ready to be donated to us when we are diagnosed with lung cancer...

There are hundreds of reasons why we may want to clone people, and none of them are probably for the reasons you think (to make somebody mentally identical which anyone can work out is impossible anyway) So, why dont you do a search on the internet and look at why people want to clone people, you may even be able to find a really short article that explains it very slowly if your lucky!

Google a clone..give it ten years..whip your credit card out..send off your dna..dont know how they will deliver though..probably fed ex

theres a difference between cloning parts of people and cloning a whole person
