If they ever clone babies or anyone will you consider the clone a real human being ?

of course, lol..

when you take a cutting of your house plant, is the new plant a real plant?
 
Sure, why not? A clone is just a genetic copy; they already occur in nature, we just call them "identical twins"..
 
What kind of retarted question is that? Have you even looked into how clones are actually brought about?
 
I would, but I wouldn't look at them the same as normal people. Of course more research would have to be done first, but the moral implications of cloning a human is pretty gray and that's where the question comes from. Personally, I don't condone cloning because of how crude it's done. They will kill over 100 babies (failed attempts) just to get one good one. The number is probably much higher than that. The world is a very hypocritical place and that will cause some major problems in the future reguarding the status of these "clones". If you don't know what I mean, you are probably a very hypocritical person.

There are test tube babies alive in the world today living normal lives, not exactly the same deal but I feel it's pretty close. As far as killing babbies, I don't really see how it can be considered killing. It is my understanding that when these clone attempts fail, it is always at a very early stage. The clone for the most part dose not even reach a stage where it could even be visualy identified as anything but a mass of forming cells under a microscope. My knowledge on the details of cloning is sparse though. From an ethical standpoint I have not heard anything that would make me think it's a bad thing, a clone of a child would have the same genetic origin as the first child so parents and family attachment would be no real problem I would think. The thing that bothers me is that there has been no real point to human cloning, and I have trouble seeing any possible use it could provide anyone outside of 2 people not being able to have a child.
 
First, you nor I wouldn't be able to distinguish the difference between humans and clones.

Clones are humans in every respect so YES.

I do not know what you mean, but it is not because I am hypocritical, it is because you are not being very coherent. As vague as you are being you could stand on one of fifty different sides of this issue and still spit out the paragraph you just did, and nobody can tell because you are a vague beyond all recognition.
