C'mon now you're just being silly.
Identical twins seperate, from a single embryo inside the mother. The twin is a clone of the other child, who has been produced by sexual means.
In our case with the "Raelians", the mother has cloned herself. A prexisting human shouldn't be cloned. This defies all logical and moral sense. There isn't a reason in the world for humans to reproduce asexually.
I'm for cloning embryos up to the point where they are stem cells. At this point the cells have not differnetiated, becoming kidneys, skin, eyes, etc. This stem cell embryo therefore is not yet human. Plus that stem cell embryo should not be allowed to further advance or be implanted for development.

Oh how did I know the IFV juxtoposition would occur? Oh yeah, because it has zero relevance. IFV is still taking sperm and egg and combining them. I have no problem with reproduction if its not occuring strictly by sexual intercourse. I understand there are a host of reasons people may not be able to have intercourse and I'm sorry for that.
To say that anti-cloning people or even pro-lifers are similar to Inquisitioners is just a weak argument for someone that can't come up with a reason why human cloning for reproductive means is needed.
I've stated my reasons for opposing cloning, now gimmie yours in support.

yes, once we get all the kinks and bug out of it cloning will be as safe as IVF and the "old fashion way" (though more expensive). The problem is that there are alot of people that... Ooooh whats the word for it you know like when they use to burn witches and call people heratics for the littlest of things, You know: people that think there right and should kill anything that does not fit with them and their god or perseption of what is and is not natural. Whats a good word for those people?
