Also, you would have to harm the cloned human to obtain them.
You don't necessarily need to create the whole body to obtain one organ, the organs could be manufactured independently of the rest of the body.
This belief and area of science is such a premature area, I can assure you that there is not one measure of scientific proof that using clones for organs is yet possible, other than premature theories and science fiction.
Obviously, and if research in this area remains banned how do you suppose that it will ever move beyond hypothesis / premature theories? We have to do research to be able to go forward in this area. It is a possibility which will open up if we pursue it.
Stem cells on the other hand are capable of growing into any organ and this can be done without harming any human that has already been born. There are many whack theories and ideas in science, if they are still illegal it is fully deserved as their benefits have not yet been proven to outweigh the ethical limitations.
Yea, I think the stuff I quoted also says stem cells could be used for the cloning.
Cloning humans is not a good thing. If I were on my death bed from organ failure, I wouldnt ever think of wanting to clone myself and stealing my clones organs, I really dont think that anyone would.
What if the clone is produced without a brain and your brain is transplanted to the new body? There's nothing whatsoever wrong about it, and trust me, millions of people would do that for themselves or their relatives.
You have also far overestimated the potential benefit to cloning for organ donation. The only person that such a technology would benefit is the person being cloned that could have perfectly matched organs that would not get rejected or require immunosuppresive drugs to maintain. It would not be a benefit to all the people on the waiting list, as they would not only face the usual problems associated with transplantations, but also recieve an organ that would age faster then they naturally would.
If we have cloning technology why would there be a waiting list? Each person who needs an organ would get it manufactured rather than needing a donation from someone else.
But its also possible that they create templates of organs based on the different blood/body types and the organ which most resembles your own organs is given to you.
in real life science, not Wikipedia / media / sci fi science, it is not a benefit to anyone on the kind of scale that you mistake it to be.
Exactly how not? Given that:
- Billions of people who are dying today could have a new, brain-less body manufactured for them and have their brain transplanted to the new body and could then live a new life, or:
- Millions of people who need a new organ could have that organ manufactured for them and continue to live their lives
How will it not benefit humanity? Please elaborate.
Your suggestion to make handicapped clones is also a complete mockery of genetic engineering, and it is crazy ideas like these for why the science cannot even be used to cure genetic disease.
I didn't suggest anywhere that handicapped clones 'should' be made, all I said was that on the way to perfect our cloning technology some handicapped clones might be produced until our technology is perfected.
