Do you consider a human clone a human?? Support your answer! :)

There's NOTHING as perfect in shape as a naturally, Godly created human...I would say a clone is a product, but surely not a human.

You're not discussing the religious and social aspects of cloning too, are you?

truness!! clone: a product made by human!! but again it depends on how u define the word Human... i mean the clone has all the features that a human has so why shouldnt the clone be a human as well??

Naaah we aint discussing the religious and social aspects issues that would be an endless discussion maybe another thread should be opened for such a discussion :p

Mhmm... well afterall, he is a human right?
lol ofcourse he is real, being apart of a function doesn't make him fake or different.

Isn't he is a fully functioned human ! I think I will consider him unoffical human with all the human rights !

I wouldnt consider a clone human that is mainly for one reason:

*human should at least have a few elements of uniqueness... a clone is the humanz replica thus, isnt unique!!

A close has a physical body, a soul, feelings, and would act/think differently! Therefore, he/she is another unique human being!

I don't think you can clone feelings or memories of a person.. If you clone a person when he was a baby and took that baby to a different environment and brought him upto a different way than the original one is being brought up, I'm willing to bet they'd be entirely different and unique humans.

You're only cloning the organs, not the soul... or can you??

In order for a body to become alive, you need a soul... otherwise you would have successfully created.. a lifeless corpse

Then again one thing I think of, If God commands angels to blow souls within a body, and they do the same with a cloned human, then I suppose you'd call it a human right?

Is it me, or are we trying to reach godliness by anyway possible?

It's a human

I dont think that a clone is cosidered as a human coz i dont think
it function as human ...

You're only cloning the organs, not the soul... or can you?

Hmmm great question!! I should search if the soul is replicated as well!!

Even if it was replicated i would never consider a clone a human coz a clone usually has a short life period unlike the human!!

looooool they still haven't made a clone yet dear... we don't even know if they have shorter life periods :p

So far it hsn't happened. But assuming it did and the individual functioned as a human, with feelings etc, then I think you would have to conclude that God has seen fit to provide a spirit and as such none of us is sufficiently elevated to say otherwise.

Some might ask the question : 'Are jews human?''
This type of question and desire to judge is one of the major causes of evil in the world today.

A more real question might be: '' Are we all humans or only those who follow my way?''

Those who feel that non-believers are less than human and therefore fair game for beheadings or bombings assume that those they maim and kill with malice aforethought, are indeed less worthy of humanity then themselves.

Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of an actual existing, or previously existing, human being or clone tissue from that individual. This term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning; human clones in the form of identical twins are commonplace, with their cloning occurring during the natural process of reproduction.

Commenting on whoever said a clone isn't unique, I back up those who said it is.. Because the relationship between an "original" and a clone is rather like that between identical twins raised apart; they share all the same DNA, but little of the same environment...I don't know about feelings,memories..etc.. Depends on the genes extracted perhaps..

The European Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine prohibits human cloning, Australia had prohibited human cloning, The British government introduced legislation in order to allow licensed therapeutic but not reproductive cloning... I honestly don't like the idea of full human cloning..

Cloning in the sense would be okay if you're only cloning organs, for the purposes of organ transplants, I heard it IS helpful.. Maybe a cure for cancer? Better cosmetic surgery? Through cloning they would be able to understand the cell-differentiation process..probably reversing the aging-process..:hyper:

well, BM's gotta a good point :yes:

i guess i do consider a clone a human :) if there was any
