Would you have a problem with human cloning?

36. It is a complicated subject (obviously)

I can understand the motives of the people in the story. I imagine from a cultural perspective and pragmatic (in the sense of continuing the lineage for property or other purposes)reason that they would want to do that, as well as from an emotional stand point. On the other hand, what will that child be like. There are a great many psychological ramifications. Obviously depending how the child is treated but still, my parents had me because they wanted a child to raise and to love as well as a great many biological, cultural, and societal factors. This child will be birthed to "carry on the family name" a very utilitarian purpose OR because they want a piece of their son to remain, which is still a rather imposing reason. I suppose you can argue that my parents wanted to have a child because they wanted a piece of themselves in the world but there is at least some romance (literally) involved for the fantasy.

Cloning is a level beyond this replication without any kind of relationship. What would the purpose of cloning be?

The problem with human beings in the modern world is that technology seems to advance much faster than our ethical constructs do.
