Cloning

Cloning is ok by me if you are cloning an idividual or an animal. But if you are going to clone something you must be willing to take care of it and not treat it the same as its clone. They are different, they won't have the same personality or intelligence as the one you cloned it from because they are two different people or two different animals. Just because you clone a human being or an animal doesn't make them any less alive than the rest of us. So my answer to your question, I do not think eymbryo cloning should be aloud for stem cell research.

To me cloning an eymbryo just to kill it to further stem cell research is much worse than abortion because you are saying, "well it's okay to clone your eymbryo and kill it because you will still have your baby and this other eymbryo will be identical in every way." When really this is not true and the eymbryo you cloned is no less alive once you clone it. You are taking an innocent life. I do not agree with cloning just for stem cell research. So if they want to do stem cell research they should use immature cells that they know will never fully develop so they are not taking an innocent life.
