    because the ethical considerations in regards to the current level of the technology as applied to sapient animals and societal impact are pretty grim

        Good luck telling that to any religious right-winger that believes a clump of cells is a rational human being capable of self-awareness.

    Let's a have reasonable discussion. The embargo is there for good reason. We aren't sure how good the technology is or what effects it will have. It could be that if we start creating genetic super babies and half the population want it that those babies turn out to be infertile or have an average lifespan of 40. We need to have a better understanding of analogue entropy decay of cell nuclei at minimum. If you just start splicing genes and lengthening the chromosome you might inactivate other important genes for example. Hence the extensive testing on other organisms.

    We have a history of rushing seemingly good technology and then ending up losing 6 IQ points due to lead in our environment etc. There is no reason to not be more patient.

    Officially there have been no works done on the matter but I'm feeling pretty confident that some crazy frickers will absolutely BTFO the ethic-gays with a tour de force on cloning

      I just can’t wait til China figures out genetic engineering and BTFO’s the israeli world order. Ask any israelite their opinions on genetic engineering, they will probably freak out

    Didn’t some Chinese scientist edit an embryo to make them resistant to HIV an cause them to have higher IQs why wouldn’t they be doing 1000s more experiments 1000x more secret? China has cloned or attempted multiple times.

    Because the technology is not well-established. So unless you are ready to slaughter 200 flawed fetuses, there's nothing stopping you.

      Wrong. In fact in vitro fertilisation just needs a second egg to create clones. The protocol itself is pretty much perfect, with a large chance of twins.

            Yes, it can, but how does it make the fact that you can only clone the whole organism wrong?

            To clone a human organ one can take out a piece of someone’s liver put it into a host or in vitro equivalent and that piece will regrow on its own. In both the host and donor.
            No cloning of a human is needed.

            It is not cloning, not according to these definitions:
            > Cloning is the process of producing individual organisms with identical or virtually identical DNA, either by natural or artificial means. In nature, some organisms produce clones through asexual reproduction. In the field of biotechnology, cloning is the process of creating cloned organisms (copies) of cells and of DNA fragments (molecular cloning).

    Because there is no monetary motivation to do so - no millionaire want to clone him/her self because it would decrease reputation. And even for the most authorative regime, you will not spend billions for what you can get +- similar for free

    The technology is definitely there. Somatic cell nuclear transfer has been used on a variety of animals to some success, including mammals. Its a chilling thought, but by using a culture of living somatic cells from a dead human, you could "reincarnate" them by injecting one of their nuclei into an enucleated egg cell, implanting the egg into a woman, and allowing it to develop to term.

    imagine thinking that governments that do pic related wouldn't do the most nightmarish things imaginable. this relates to the science as an institution, because it is largely taxpayer funded, whether directly or indirectly.
