Japan legalizes stem cell research!

I see it this way. I know that cloning can change the evolutionary way of life..but isn't it true that humans have evolved to have bigger brains giving them more intelligence than any other species? I believe that since this has happened we can't be stopped with what we do because our species will become more intelligent through the years. Of course it might be the end of us, but how would we stop it? You can't just stop at one period of time and say this is it, this is as far as we're going and an example of that is the amish. They still are able to live in this world, but now our world is about productivity, and everything is going faster, and it's all better quality, so what we do is just part of evolution in my mind. We're becoming more intelligent, and yes it will affect our world, and it could be for the worst, but that's what is going to happen, and I don't think we can stop it. I'm not saying that I like the idea of cloning..hell I don't know what I think, but I don't think that we can just say no to it. I hope that this makes sense, because I don't usually explain my opinoins very well..

well, that's all well and good. it shows what scientific research can do, but i do have to say that some of the things we do for cloning is just not right(IE organ harvesting) but even though it can help us, you'e still taking life away from another human. now if there was a way to preserve one's memories and then clone the person before they die and insert the memories before they died into the 2nd body, then you could practically live forever..just a thought..
