I just hope they don't go cloning people and making real people, at least not clone me. If they clone me, I'd have to kill myself....my other self.

And the idea of the human lifespan increasing? More time for people to go around hurting each other. Hey, but I'm a pessimist. I just don't think people were intended to live to 120.

I'm not for human cloning. I don't want duplicate people, there's no need for it. I am for cloning embryos (what they did) for medical research. It helps cure things like aids and diabetes, would you rather these people suffer? We want healthy people, whether they live 80 years, or 120, whats it matter?

Me... I don't see cloning people as being bad. There is more at play than genetics in determining how one turns out as one develops. I just don't see any real USE for doing it (other than for medical purposes). The "normal" method is better for the gene pool, and far more fun, hehehe. (sorry, I couldn't resist....)

If it doesn't mean as much to you, put yourslef in the shoes of an innocent person being led to be executed.

The death penalty doesn't serve a purpose other than getting ultimate revenge. You can get that revenge by throwing them into a supermax prison and restricting their contact with the outside world. What difference does it make whether that happens, or if they die (risking the life of an innocent person)?

Rogue - I completely agree - it's quite frightening to think about

Good times, can't wait. !!!!

Ok, living more than our natural lifespans is defenetly a very bad thing, unless, we do also have the technology to live on other planets, i mean, we have to many people in this world as it is, living longer would destroy the planet, and to add on, in the current way the world is going, i really dont want to stick around another couple hundred years... I think cloning though, is sort of a good idea, depending on the use. Making clones like in multiplicity, and the way we offten perceve cloning, is bad, but, we could with cloning pull an episode 2 stunt, and that would be very good, if they are trained from birth, for the soul purpose of fighting(and i know this sounds horrible) then they really are ment to be soldiers, and thats great, because then the other's in the world wont have to die needlessly, And yes, im against violence in general, but just think of how this could make our econemy go? we wouldnt have to pay the soldiers, wouldnt have to do anything except feed and train them... and if this is a horrible idea, think of it this way, chickens, some live to lay eggs and make more chickens, some live to lay eggs for breakfast, and some live to die, and be eaten...thats there purpose, its what they are for, we can not go against that, cows the same way, why not spare a few innocent lives by making soldiers that way?
as for death sentance, and abbortion and all that, they are both horrid... the death sentance is EXACTLY the same as abbortion, i know most dont realize it, but most of the criminals that are executed, never had a chance, there in the same boat as the baby's that are being killed before birth, yes, they had a life, but look at it, there parants probably beat them, they were told from the begining that they are no good, that they will only be trouble, in fact, most of those kids are the kids that were going to be killed before birth, because the father, or mother didnt want them, but the other parant, or a grandmother or soemthign was against it, so, either way they meet there end to the same cause...
