I don't agree with cloning

While I am not a MD, I would like to respond to your message.
Simply, 'if' god exist - he would NOT be human in any way, so
stop thinking of him as a punisher or benefactor.
Second, any technology is capable of producing disastrous results; but
the worst kind of result are ignorance - to not know why something didn't
work out as you thought is should.
Cloning is per se not a problem, but how to USE it, that _could_ present
interesting dilemas.
>From what I've read, the various clones are dependent on what kind of cell
the DNA have been taken from.
IE a fast-aging cell would 'give' a reduced DNA-string (clipped on both ends
I believe), while eternal life could be gained through 'reprogramming' the
DNA to
replace the deleted DNA or reduce the loss through other programming
methods.
Think of it as the human 'software'.
Last, I think you should present your ranting and raving on another
NG's........not here.
Sincerely,
Brian
