Why is human cloning not happening commercially?

[ShiZbanG]

I would like to clone myself and raise myself as a baby without all the trauma and weird stuff. Then when I turn 10 get on hardcore weightlifting system and get swole af and perhaps see what I am capable of without all the baggage. Coolbeans?

Because people are afraid of it. Really though, in a world where the elite class arguably have a genetic advantage over the commoners, genetic engineering could tip the scales towards true equality.

In what world does anything that gives the lessers an advantage not end up in the hands of the already powerful who typically use it to control/manipulate us still further.

Wouldn't better you just call you a boomer and eventually resent you just the same way teenagers do parents today? This is classic blaming of others and being a "victim" instead of taking ownership of your own life.

So cloning works on every mammal it's been attempted on, but it magically doesn't work on primates?

Oh, wait. It does work on primates.

But it's a good thing it's banned in 70 countries. Because, as everyone knows, if it's illegal somewhere it doesn't happen anywhere.

Didn't the Raelians clone the Island Boys though!?

Human cloning is not happening commercially because it is currently prohibited by law in most countries around the world. In addition, there are also significant ethical and scientific concerns associated with human cloning that have prevented it from being widely accepted and pursued.

One of the primary ethical concerns associated with human cloning is the potential for exploitation and abuse. Human cloning could be used to create individuals for specific purposes, such as organ transplantation or military purposes, which many people consider morally unacceptable.

Moreover, there are also scientific challenges associated with human cloning, such as the high failure rates and the potential for genetic abnormalities in the cloned offspring. Cloning technology is still in its early stages of development, and many scientists believe that further research and testing are necessary before human cloning can be safely and effectively pursued.

Furthermore, there is also the issue of public perception and acceptance of human cloning. Many people have strong reservations and concerns about the ethical and social implications of human cloning, which could lead to significant resistance and opposition to the commercialisation of the technology.

In summary, human cloning is not happening commercially due to legal restrictions, ethical concerns, scientific challenges, and public resistance. While cloning technology has advanced significantly in recent years, it is still a controversial and contentious issue that requires careful consideration and evaluation before it can be pursued commercially.

begun, the clone wars have.

No, there's too much down side to having another one of you out there.

It probably is happening in secret.

Unethical experiments in brain transplantation. Too many billionaires would want to transplant their brain into a younger version of themselves. You would have to use a clone otherwise the body would reject the brain.

I will clone you, now let me just open up your cranium for a quick sample of dat juicy brain matter.

you only need a tiny clump of cells, from any part of the body, this is why i purchased britney spears signed memorobilia with her real lipstick kiss on the poster, i can clone my own britney from it

It's like "ok let another me do it while I relax and slack in my comfort zone forever".

If you want to try it out you don't need a clone. You can do it right now.
