Is the CLONAID organization really ethical? I don't believe it could be done, but even if it could it would almost be like escaping death. What happens to the soul? When animals are cloned, they have two different minds and patterns of thought than their counterparts. They each have their own "soul". I am a Christian but in favor of continued researches on most sciences. After all, the universe appears to be destined to eventually fade away. A sense of knowledge would be settling to a lot of people. The bible is pro-knowledge. I believe good intentions and good meaning is what gets you into Heaven. All people are naive to a great extent; it is hard to help change the way we came to be, as we have many limits. It's the curiosity that gets to me about all of this. Ethics are very important, but technological and societal development are also.
