If
your only option to have children was to clone yourself, would you?no frickin way. its
wierd , its unethical, and its scary.

How could adoption not be an option? Anyway,
no way. I'd like somebody else's genes as well as mine to be in any kid that I have.
Karen, 21
Marshelltown/Ames, IA USA
Hmmm. Little Me's running around? I don't
think so.
Eric, 19
Beverly Hills, CA USA
I believe that only God has the right to
create human life so no, I wouldn't clone myself.
Reba, 51

I personally believe cloning is
totally wrong, in every way. I think it is a good idea to clone organs for people in
desperate need of transplants. But, then how far do you
go with that? Doctors and scientists start playing God, and that is just wrong. So, my
answer would have to be no.
Jennifer, 19

I'm too old to be attracted to hypothetical
imperatives without alternatives.
Jill, 60
Saylorsburg, PA USA
No I wouldn't. There are just too many
questions involved with it, and there is no way in hell I would want to deal with someone
exactly like me as my child, eek!
Maggie, 20
Sandwich, IL
USA
Considering that person would be different
as far as attitudes and personality, but would always be known as a "clone",
that might be hard on the child. I would be useing my selfishness to fulfill a void by
putting a child into this world who may be tormented because of their origin. However, if
it was a common thing and was widely accepted as a way of having
Stephanie, 25

No. That seems reprehensible.
Talia, 23
Wilton, CT
USA
If were the only option and I really wanted
kids, then sure. I really don't see all the freakiness about cloning. We don't have the
same attitudes about twins. A clone I view as a twin only younger. A separate and distinct
human being with their own thoughts an life to live. Not at all a copy or a replica.
And deserving of life and projection of that life as any human would. I do
have a problem, however, with folks who would want to clone to bring back a dead son or
Hitler or some other dubious motivation.
Felicia, 35
Lowell, MA
USA
No.
Laura, 36
Lowell, MA
USA
Nope...I would adopt!
Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA
I can't imagine that being the only option,
but I think I'd prefer not to take it.
Jane, 60
West Linn, OR
USA
no way
Firelady, 23
Dallas, TX
USA
Nope... I wouldn't want the
responsibility of saying to my kid "Guess what?
You're me and I'm you... now go out into the world and try to live a normal life"...
Jeremy, 14
Highlands Ranch, CO USA
Nah-the world can't handle two of me. ;)
Angela, 16
Aiken, SC
USA
I hardly see how that COULD be the only
option, but whatever, I'll roll with it. I guess maybe I would. It would have been nice to
have had someone to guide me growing up and share a little wisdom, like "don't worry,
it'll get better" or "don't you dare kiss him!"
Jaden, 21
Brampton, Ontario CANADA
No.
Fisch, 45
Preston, CT
USA
NO way... that's just too weird!
Dianne, 16
Oshawa, Ontario CANADA
I'd rather prefer it that way...
Charlie, 21
PA
Never. Not in a million years.
Katie2, 18
Detroit, MI
USA
Hmmm...no. One of me is enough:P
Kevin M.
Never. I'm not sure I even want kids, let along
ones that are my replicas.
Shanna, 15
Cardiff ENGLAND
Oh my god, no!!! I think a little of myself
in a child is ok, but I would feel sorry for the kid if she were a complete clone of me!!!
Susan, 32
Chicago, IL
USA
No. The world does not need another me
hanging around... I would rather live without kids than clone myself precisely... though,
on second thought, I could raise myself the way I always wanted to be raised... at the
same time, cloning is unnatural and unethical.
Johanna, 18
OK USA
No I ould not be cloned to have children. I
think such a thing as cloning is messing with nature or God's plan.
Marci, 56
Diamond, OH
USA
Right now, no, the technology is not up to
where it needs to be where the procedure would be humane for my potential clone. . and I
really wouldn't want to dedicate the extra time it probably would take to nurse my clone
child to be healthy and "normal". . . .In a few years, if it becomes a fairly
routine procedure, if it was my "only option" to have children, I might.. .
mothmc, 36
Los Angeles, CA USA
No. I
think we are messing around in an area that we should not be.
