Modern Medical Technology: Part Two

...Who you calling a medical freak?

Hehe.  That was a great segment.  It was probably the best example of what the 10 show is all about.  Not only did you show us some fantastc medical techology and how it's improving lives, but we learned two great lessons and got to see the two of you dressed in scrubs - how cute.

Yeah! Videogames are good for us!

If we're not learning something, then life is not worth living!  How True.

Cloning a complete human is a "No". Your clone may not be you, only the potential to become you. It would depend on how she was raised and what she experienced. Copying a complete sentient being is wrong. It depends on why we would want to clone and what purpose it served. Still, could you imagine going the "Jango Fett" method and raising a daughter that was in fact your biological double? You could even choose to carry and bear her yourself.

I support stem cell research and think its a "yes". We live in a universe of potentials. There is no guarantee that developing cells will become a child, only the potential to become a child. There's no reason why we should not harness potentials to serve our needs; we do it all the time. So long as we don't create sentient life or allow an embryo to exceed the first term of development, I see no reason why we shouldn't pursue such research.

I made the same point as you, except I don't believe cloning yourself is necessarily the right thing to do.  Ethics asside, have you ever considered going with the "Jagno Fett" method and raising a son who was your biological double?  It's an interesting prospect.  Being women, Tina and Laura could even choose to carry and bear their own biologically identical daughters.
