What Do You Think About Cloning?

[Night]

If cloning was present in society, and there were humans being created, even if the process of cloning them were illegal, how do you think society would treat them?

Responses don't have to be research-based, overall I just want to hear other's opinions on the subject. However, I would like there to be some reasons why you feel that way whether it be based off religion, the way you were raised or because of experience or ethic beliefs.

Do you think they would be widely accepted into society? Or alienated because of their origins? Even if they were "accepted", what types of discrimination would fall on them?

What rights should they have, if any? If you do or don't think they should have rights, why? Should they be entitled to the same rights that everyone else is?

How should "common" society be protected from them? How should the cloned be protected from society?

If cloning is illegal, how should society, government, etc deal with those who were created by the process? If there were those who were not cloned "for the right reason" and instead to help the crime and corruption (human trafficking, organ selling, prostitution, etc) present in society, should those clones be treated any differently than clones that were used for reproductive or therapuetic reasons?

If a cloned committed crimes that are illegal in society, but has no knowledge of society, how should they be punished, if at all, and to what extent?


These are just some of the things I would like to see other's opinions on. Your response doesn't need to answer all of these. Overall, what do you think?

A clone is simply a manufactured twin of the original and has all the rights and protections that any other person has. If the clone were for some reason made of a minor by gsst's parent(s) the clone would be their child and the original's sibling. If made by the original the clone would be the original's child with all the rights and responabilities that that would entail, in both directions.

Only the parents of a minor should have the ability to create a clone of a minor. No one other than an individual adult should have the legal right to clone the adult.

We can't even resolve the differences between us naturally born humans never mind cloned humans grown in a laboratory etc etc
