First of all, to me another word for cloning, is TWINNING!!!! I am an identical twin. My sister has the identical genes that I have.

One of the big reasons this "group" did this, is a ridiculous belief that when you clone yourself you give yourself immortality. Well guess what! My twin sister and myself, have COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES! In other words, yes our genes are identical and yes we sound the same and look the same, and even have same mannerisms, However, who we are and what were are SEPARATE INDIVIDUALS. So claiming this is going to give them immortality is ridiculous.

Second thought: What purpose would cloning then have? Well scary as this sound, how about replacing a loved one? A mother who has died, or a child that has died. Well if you thought you came from a dysfunctional family, how do you think a child who looks just like their grandmother might feel, especially if their father or mother want THEM to baby them (not deliberately of course, but psychologically) in the replacement of the mother that they lost. Or just that because times have changed, and parents treat their children differently, that the child they had lost, acts differently than the child they had. Does that child feel accepted for who they are, rather than who the parents hoped he or she would be? What a burden to put on anyone!!!!

Third thought: What would cloned babies be used for then? Well products. Baby parts. Replace the heart of a child that did not have one or got diseased. or Help an adult with a disease that if he had himself cloned would have a perfect match for bone marrow, or other things they might want. Well to me, the moment you make any human a product, you place a need in society, and then create slaves out of these cloned babies. They won't have real rights like regular people and then you have the whole problem of dehumanizing them. Well as a natural clone, with my twin, I take great offense of this.

The third is also why I don't like any study of using embryos, the moment you find a use for them, the moment they become a need, and the moment you need the "product" Plus it is completely unnecessary, they have found you can get same cells from the blood from the placenta that can do the same thing.

Morally, I have not even gotten to that, In my belief That God created man, and woman, and that he alone has the right to develop humans, Even with their imperfections, because He alone is GOD.

Plus I believe in the right of life, Old and young. but that is another can of worms.

As some have pointed out, cloning is essentially creating twins. So what happens to some of those "twins" that don't make the final cut to "life".

For all of my life I have felt an indescribable loss and inability to have stable "normal" relationships with people, anyone, including my immediate family. I feel a constant distance between myself and everyone else. I felt as though someone VERY important to me was missing from my life.

A little while ago I found out that I was supposed to be twins, but my sibling didn't make the grade, so to speak.
