It could. Say you need a blood transfusion or a kidney, heart, liver any body organs. If you had your own clone then they wouldn't have to waste time searching for a donor with your specific blood type. Then you must ask yourself, if you're cloned is your clone considered human? It will have all the same mental and physical prossess as a typical human being. It'll be able to speak for itself, take care of itself, live by itself. It would have every single human characteristic you can name. The only why you would be able to tell that it was a clone is because you were there when they did it.
Personaly, I see no other reason for someone to be cloned then to satisfy the scientist who would do the cloning, because then they would be playing 'God', they would be creating a living being. Which would be the ultimate scientific goal, would it not?

Yes, it would. I mean, they have the power/ability to do so. Although, what I don't like is people who clone Fluffy or Fido because they can't cope with the loss. I mean, stuff like that happens. Besides, there are countless animals out there that need a good home. They should just go adopt one of those.
What are you all's thoughts on incest? Are you cool with it as long as there are no kids involved or do you find it disgusting? Me, it would have to be the latter but that's mainly because I have an aunt and uncle who are related. They have 4 kids. 3 are mentally alright but have a minor physical handicap, the elder child is physically alright but...well...if you talked to him, you would know what I mean >.>.

I think the egg came first. I tend to agree with the dinosaur thing. Just because nobody hears the sound doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I agree with what HMQ said about placebos. I think the moon landing was real. They have no proof to prove otherwise that can't be explained with science. I think cloning just creates problems. I mean you have the whole issue of are clones real people and if you think they are then you obviously can't use them for any medical purpose because they think and feel too. Plus a lot of it has to do with the fact that people can't cope with death, as you have said before. They just want clones of what they have lost. Incest is fine as long as I'm not involved. Whatever you want to do with your life is fine with me. Just don't ruin anybody else's life, like any kids involved. I mean the deformity rate isn't nearly as high as people would have you believe, but you shouldn't put kids at risk for inborn diseases.

I'm not really big on incest, but as Jabu stated I'm fine as long as I'm not involved

Do you believe the stuff in the bible? I do because I find it too much of a coincidence that the Koran, the Torah and the Christian bible all have the exact same stories and people in it. Plus, alot of the artifacts mentioned in the bible such as the Ten Commandments and the Ark (not Noah's the other one) are found in a museum...someplace (I can't remember the name).

The ten comandments are said to be trapped within the golden arc, the thing is the church that houses and protects it will not let anyone open it to see if that infact is true. Anyway, as for the bible, I see it the same way I see "The Oddessy" By Homer

I don't believe in the Bible. Too many things are stolen. Christmas is Winter Solsitce, The tale of the arc was in Metamorphoses by Ovid. All they did was change a few small details. I know aliens exist. There is no way that there would be billions of planets with nothing on them.
