Cloning is a tough issue, your analysis assumes that a clone does not
replace the life of a "new" (unique) individual which would consume the same
resources. I'd say a unique person is somewhat more dynamic than a clone,
although that will depend on who you clone.
The issue of cloning a person's cells to save them (eg embyronic stem cell
research) is another issue entirely. It's sacrificing the life a biological
person for the life of a biological, social, intellectual and spiritual
person. It seems clear to me that it's falls under the doctors vs. germs
agrument. By killing one single celled organsism, if you can save the
living person and their ideas, it is the moral choice.

Subject: MD MOQ on Cloning
I was just wondering if anyone would have anything to
say about the morality of human cloning from a
MOQ-point of view. It would seem moral to me because
the creation of life (birth) is a Dynamic event. A
human is a source of thought so wouldn't it be moral
to create one? I would love to here some comments.
