a few points here: 4. If all else fails, we could make it so that for every 2 good personality traits a parent chooses, they have to choose one bad. Sort of a "design your own kid" thing where you fill out a form like that. I don't know, it could work. I like what you are saying; however I dont think we even need a bad trait. Would it be so bad in a world where everyone is intelligent and strong and healthy and nice? If people are all smart, then wont we have less injuries. If people are all healthy, wont we have a more productive socitety? If everyone is nice, wont there be less crime. Furthermore, if everyone has the same abilities naturally, then everyone will have to try harder. And then who suceeds in life and who fails really will be determined by who tries the hardest, not by who got lucky in the birth canal. |

But if that was the case. Then after Everyone would try hard to become something, then everyone after that would still "get lucky in the birth canal" and everything would be just as it is.

It's good if you want to test out cures for desises. It's a problem if the clone ever wakes up, because once it sees or feels life, it can be considered a life that should exsist.

Not all lives need to exist. Clones are just copies of people.

Now as far as cloning people and then keeping them in a coma their entire life... sure it can do good but even from a medical standpoint it wouldnt be accurate, a person who never moves etc. etc. is going to react differently to medication than a normal person. Plus what if the medication causes insomnia or some other mental disorder, you wouldnt know with a person in a coma which is why medical science will never do anything like this.
Therefor the clone would have to be alive and have experienced life and luckily we have the Geneva convention to protect against such atrocities.
I say our current system is fine, test on people for money in return, or people who are already sick and desperate.
And clones are not "just copies of people" sure they have the same DNA but as soon as they exist they are a different entity entirely... and thus they deserve every right a normal person would have.
