It's a ME! Aien! Covering for the one, the only, Grondring once more. In fact, this new keyboard makes it harder for me to spell correctly without typos. We'll see how I do. Apparently, the 'Grondring' person uses 'big words' like...'a' 'and' and 'the'. So I'm going to use small words like, vulgar, ornate, psychopathic, grammar, and my personal favorite, Harem.

Today, I decided to cover a...heated idea. It's called Human Cloning. I, find this topic a very intresting, hard to objectively discuss topic. So I'm going to fling the entire 'objectie' part of the coulmn out of the way, effectively destroyig my journalistic ethics and morals. Like I had any to begin with. Instead, I'm going to impose my view of the subject matter on my loyal, random readers, who were stupid smart enough to read this random smart coulmn.

Some people may be pondering on what 'Human Cloning' is. Human Cloning is taking a human, and making a genetic 'replica' of the human. Cloning is trying to solve fundamental medical issues in the United States of America, where I fortunently, or maybe, unfortunently live. What can Cloning solve then?

Cloning can solve a number of muscle, tissue, and cancer related problems. You can harvest a special cell type from a human embryo, called 'Stem Cell'. The Stem Cell is cell type that can reproduce, rather than reduce in number as time goes on. Effectively, 'Stem Cells' are why humans 'grow' from baby to adult. The stem cells multiply, and fill up the body, until they die out, which is where you stop growing.

Human Cloning is currently a forbidden practice all over the mechanized world. It is banned in all U.N. countries as of 2004. The United States, a few years ago, passed a bill stating that Human Cloning was 'Un-ethical' and 'im-moral'. As such, cloning research is VERY VERY cloesly watched by the US government.

Many people say that cloning is 'un-ethical'. Why? Because, in order to 'obtain' the stem cells, you effectively have to kill the embryo. Which brings me to another point. If it's your clone, are they your 'property' or a 'human'.

Technically, they are both. You could compare them to slaves. I think, if you are going to clone to save a life, by taking one, that it's perfectly fine, as long as you clone yourself.

There you have it readers. I hope you gravitated towards the subject in this educational coulmn guest written by Aienputer/Aien/Silent Leaf. If you wish to contact me, you may PM me, or post a reply.

Did you know they cloned a bladder recently?

But you're slightly wrong. Stem cells do not have to be used. For example, for skin regrowth, skin cells are taken from a healthy or non-damaged peice of skin, cloned into cultures, and then put on the unhealthy areas. This is allready a very viable option to grafts.
