Is Human Cloning Near?

According to the UN, yes. If so, the comet won't be far behind. (in fact, it's on its way in!)

It's already been done and is illegal in the US.

Near? Its been done since ww2. Dr. Josef Mengele (March 16, 1911– February 7, 1979)

Very true and successful as well. Might seem like a nightmare to most people, but thats the science fiction world we have always been inhabiting.

Probably so. And, like all science, it will be put to good uses like producing new organs for those who need transplants and also put to bad uses like creating mindless, docile slaves.

It is not the science that is bad, it is the uses that some people might make of the science.

If they can clone human livers and hearts and lungs and pancreas's and skin and kidneys, then there wouldn't be people who die because they are waiting for someone else to dye and a family willing to donate those organs.

It would completely eliminate the black market in human organs and extremely poor people selling their body parts for a few bucks.

It would be cool to have a clone of Osama Bin Laden.Then every year on the anniversary of 9/11 we could blow him up.
