We should stop waisting resources and put and end to cloning plants, and while were at it, lets go ahead and save a few bucks by getting rid of that stupid space program! If you couldn't tell, I was being sarcastic. |
Oh! Gosh. Thanks for telling me. It was so subtle I might have thought your were serious otherwise.

The whole reason we clone animals and plants is to experiment and see if we can learn more.

It is not. Way back when I was a child my father and some of his work associates knew farmers who could buy "seed potatoes". They came in 100 lb bags for pennies per pound compared to grocery store prices. These were Russet potatoes, of course. The practice of burying pieces of potato the have at least one "eye" is cloning. Rarely are potatoes ever grown from seed.

We are still in the learning process as far as cloning is concerned.

Cloning what?

I agree we shouldn't clone humans, but to say no cloning at all is either fear or ignorance.

But, of course, it's much too late for that. As I mentioned, we clone all kinds of agricultural products. Does that present a problem for anyone? If so, why do you eat potatoes, apples, oranges, cherries, and why do you give roses on Valentines Day? The question isn't about whether cloning is moral, but rather, about what is being cloned.
