First before I start I should define what exactly a clone is. Grolier's encyclopedia defines a clone as a decendant produced asexually from a single animal or plant. Asexually, as in natural. What we define as cloning is no more than mechanical reproduction. We create identical copies of organisms as the means to an end. We want to genetically create the perfect pig, one that yeilds delicious meat, never gets sick and conforms to all of our needs. We want to do that over and over, thousands upon thousands of identical copies. All without looking at the concequences. Identical animals lack diversity. All of them could die from a single plauge because there is no chance of one of them having an immunity. One example of this was the Irish potatoe famine of the early 19th century. The lower class Irish relied on a single varie

Before I speak of ethics, I must first define them. To keep it simple I will use a five year old's definition. Anything that does not make one feel good is unethical, but may not be illegal. This feeling may be based on how one is brought up, socially or otherwise. Unethical matters one time could become ethical later on if we could justify the need or have use of them. This of course brings us back to the orginal subject of cloning. Under ethical beliefs it is wrong to deny someone a choice of what to do with their life. When you clone a person you have the ability to predict its future. Let's say for example that a child learns he or she was a clone. They would feel lost and confused. They might even feel like actors playing out a role that has been already portrayed and written for them. And what of those that would clone for the sole purpose of labor ? Cloning for cheap mindless slaves. Not only would this put hundreds or thousands out of jobs but we would revert back to days of the south where owning a person was just like having another tractor. As humans we have no justifyable evidence to play God. Anything that can not be justified is unethical. The cloning science is exact, whereas the ethics part of it is subjective. Ethics can be twisted and warped to your liking if you can find a perfectly fine r
