I heard something about it being possible to clone just the organs by themselves.
that means that u can make just a heart or just a liver and keep it there for a time like spare parts for a car. that would be really phreaky huh?
it would mean that instead of killing a clone, a life as good as anyone, you can just use an organ by itself, no people harmed. wouldn't that be great?
or would it be the same?
the fact that cloning is a good thing for many purposes such as keeping extincted animals alive is not at all strange to anyone of us butwhat we need to ask ourselves is if we would like to know that all the future animals in the world might be artificial. would we want that to happen?
have a go at it.

Though this is going past what this discussion is about a few topic, many brought up by mean might end up being included so does a little post on a few things that might be of interest, there are mainly genetic engineering which is part of the whole picture of cloning. I’m running form memory here so can’t give dates and such.
A few years back there was outrage about a mouse that had an ear growl on its back for human use, this is in an area in which scientist are investigation using stem cells ((the very first cells of the egg these cells have the potential to becomes any tissue and in so any organ) and genetically altering stem cells into specific cell types, using these cell types to form tissue then organs.
Secondly there is xenotransplantation in which animal organs (mainly pigs due to there organ size composition and similar structures also there genetics are not that far form arms and there are loads of pigs around)) are used to translates into patents, this also has causes outcry, scientist investigation this also came up with an idea to alter a pigs genetic make up to form organs within the pigs specially for human translations, altering them to in effect have the best possible pig heart to go into a human.
Both of these are to help the short supply of organs needed for transplantation compared to the available donor organs
Now is this going too far? Why do we spend so much money on this, why don’t we spend money on healthcare and research into prevention, or even a technological solution where the number of hearts can be built to order as it where though this is moving well beyond this discussion so ill stop now.
