Is there any reason to actually clone a human? I mean actually giving birth to a replica, not growing new organs with stem cells and stuff.
I can think of one practical application. If we cloned a human, we could observe its social development and use the original person as a control. So then we could see how much of an effect genetics has on our personality.
I just don't think "because we can" is a good reason.
What are your guys' thoughts?
BTW, has anyone heard anything more of that reported cloning by that dude in Italy? I heard it was a hoax?
