2. So untill it's possible to do perfects cloning, we shouldent do human cloning.

1. That's why there's no point cloning humans.
2. You're partially correct but we don't clone humans because it would just be a waste of money.

Jacob, my name has got 2 t's in it it goes like this. Statikk HDM. If yah can't manage that, Hunter will suffice. Thanks. Cloning is so lame because science is a trial and error game right? So we could make the human if we tried but failed a lot, and than the human could have a malady, like be a catatonic scizophreinc, or be horribly and painfully disfigured. Which leads us to the choice of euthanasia or let the human suffer, After a bunch of scientific misteps we could create a clone but we wouldn't know the psychological implications of the cloning. It isn't cost effective. Almost no one supports it so getting the funding would be a bitch. So cloning is just one big can of worms that shouldn't be opened.

In my own opinion I hope that when they make a human clone it dies. I shouldn't wish death on people but I really hope it dies. I know I'm being a bitch (I'm born to bitch :D) but it might teach humans a lesson not to clone things (of course I bet it won't.) I can't agree with you more Statikk, cloning is pointless that's all there is too it.

There's a high likelyhood that it will die quite quickly if the cloning isn't completely sucessful.

For example, Dolly the sheep has a disorder which is being blamed on a complication of the cell nuclear replacement.

2 deaf Lesbians wanted a child...they could choose the genes. They chose to make the child deaf also. This is true and was sposedly why Bush got all ban happy in the 1st place.

By this argument, nobody should ever have a child, because it might have a malady, like catatonic schizophrenia. Having children is a huge can of worms etc...

I mean, there is absolutely nothing connecting cloning to anything like Schizophrenia. I really think you ought to learn something about certain things before arguing about them...

Is this the story where a Deaf both female couple used a Deaf male friend's sperm to make sure their baby was Deaf?

If it is then this has nothing to do with cloning. If it isn't then I appologise for mentioning this similar-sounding story.

3. Oh, my mistake.

1. But they didn't.

2. Can Bush really be idiotic enough to ban cloning because somebody chose the father of their baby?

In my experience, any question beginning "Can Bush really be idiotic enough..." would probably go well with the answer "Yes"...
