Ethical Question
 

This has been nagging me for quite some time and so I have to ask for some opinions. Please be serious........I need to know!


In light of the news of the so-called "human" cloning going on, we have to ask ourselves this hypothetical question..........



If you pushed your naked clone off the top of a very tall building, would it be......



A) murder
B) suicide
C) merely making an obscene clone fall

???????????????????????????????????

LixyChick,

You mix ethics and humor well.

LMAO:D

I don't know Lixy. I'm still trying to figure out if a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that considered a hostage situation? ;)

Thanks jseal........I try!

And PF??? Don't answer a question with another question. I'm not lying on a sofa in your office ya know!? Geezzzz!

But the whole idea here is to GET you on my sofa.;)



:rolleyes: :p :p :p :rolleyes:

*shakes head in shame*

For the first few years of cloning it will be considered C) merely making an obscene clone fall. But once the clones realize that this is the case they will push the government for making it A) murder.

So in this serious persons eyes! Everyone better get to pushing! hehe
;) :) :rolleyes: :D

Whew! Finally a serious answer! TY so much Summer! *come're Lixy clone.....I wanna show you the view from up here in this penthouse suite of mine*

Shame??? Shame?????.....You got room to talk skip! I've just come from your thread and you can't sing worth a shit! Oops! I mean...you can't carry a tune inna bucket! *mumbles to self....tsk, tsk me will ya!* LMAO!

Do you have a fainting couch PF? I like to picture those in the analyst's office I visit!

Would have been a great question...but you had to go and throw in a pun....

Took the pun right out of it... :D

Pardon me.........but what "pun" is it if you can't laugh at a clone?


OK......since you think so.........consider it a "real" question and give me an ethical answer!

Would it be....

A) Murder
B) Suicide
C) None of the above....as clones are replaceable

Hmmm, mine would have to be C...not replaceable though....the destruction would be mandatory as it shouldnt exist.

Jumping in deeper here...........

And why, pray tell, "shouldn't" they exist? This, to me, is like saying doctors shouldn't try to play "God"..........but in truth......(if you believe in the notion of God).....we wouldn't have doctors if they weren't part of the ENTIRE scheme of things that are to be!

Oh damn.........here we go...................

To heal or delay death is one thing

To create artificial life is something entirely different.

I agree with Aqua. Nothing to do with God or anything. I just know just enough about cloning to know that it is so extremelly complex and exact and that we as flawed beings will never ever get it perfect....

*hides her army of demon bitch clones*
