Is cloning humans ethical?
no Yes It depends on your definition of ethical. Is it unethical to clone cattle for food? Is it unethical to clone mice for pharmaceutical study? Opponents say "it's playing God", but they said that about almost every medical advancement from birth control pills to heart transplants, and even to genetically-modified foods. (Humans have been genetically modifying food and animals forever through selective breeding. In-vitro and DNA manipulation simply speeds up the process). Why would or should cloning humans be any different? Identical twins are a result of cloning in the womb. Take religion out of the picture and you would have a hard time making the unethical argument. What would be unethical would be cloning for spare parts. If the cloned person was treated no differently than a twin, a complete human person, then where is the problem?
