Human Cloning?

[ElanJo]

Anyone have any views on this?

Bearing in mind that we probably all already know some human clones ( Identical twins) I personally don't see why not? Would it not be fascinating to watch as a clone of yourself grows up?
I think the only thing that gives me pause for thought is a scenario where a parent loses their child and has a clone of them made to fill the gap. I think is you were the clone you may feel cheap or awkward in some way

As with anything it can easily be abused, without meaning to go all science-fiction it's not a huge leap for there to be huge 'clone armies'.

Clowning is part of the Labour governments make up!

If someone had sex with their clone, would it be incest or masturbation?

Being such a fine specimen of a man, I'd expect that I'd be the number one target for scientists to clone should they ever get the go ahead to do so. I'd probably let them do it for a fee, though I'm not sure whether I'd be flattered to have other me's knocking about or whether I'd be a bit miffed that there were other people of similar greatness to myself walking the earth. I expect it would be the former, cos I'd always know that I am the real deal

This is a film "Godsend", staring the fake/Clone Robert De Niro, who lives in Hollywood, not the real one who post on here.
