Just wondering.. What's your views on cloning animals and/or people? Such as in Japan and Russia they are trying to clone a wooly mammoth through bone marrow they found in Siberia and they are trying to clone it.

Hmmm I dont know 0_0

Im am not too sure.

I dont know.

IDK!

Would be cool to have a mamoth tho xD

ehhh I don't support it... and I recall... they have made cloning people illegal here!

How did they manage to make something that is not really possible (yet) illegal?

Thirteen American states (Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Iowa, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, North Dakota, New Jersey, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia) ban reproductive cloning and three states (Arizona, Maryland, Missouri) prohibit use of public funds for such activitie

UH OH OREGON! :O

They actually can clone quite well, sheep, and cows mostly.

From what I recall a few years back when they successfully cloned a living sheep, that it died a few months later from a simple cold virus. I heard something about how they couldn't successfully build an immune system properly through the cloning process.

However, I would like to see a successful human clone. I'm interested in how that cloned human would differ from a naturally birthed human. It's an insanely iry subject, and I get uncomfortable thinking about it because that breaks every rule nature has. But, from a scientific point of view, I'm curious.

No. I don't want even to see or try to clone one of nature's gifts. It is violent and unnatural. You're basically creating the next zombie virus… Think about it.
If a person can be cloned, a scientist/terrorist organization can break in and mass clone humans, using the less evolved human as a base, then using that one, and on and on. They would basically become animals again- with a human structure.
So basically, no. Zombies, people. Haven't you learned anything? No?
Well. We're gonna die.

That is just... No.....
Really? Violent and unnatural? Come on man. I don't understand how this is violent. Unnatural I can agree with, but there are so many possibilities this will bring. Also really? Terrorists breaking in and cloning? Sorry but I laugh at that. I imagine cloning would take days for humans with how complex they are, with a of our systems, and the brain itself, programming everything. By then the swat fbi whatever will already be on them. Also, it would most likely be in a top secret lab.
