  • Hybrid human cloning should be completely banned, because science has historically made very poor predictions about the risks of new procedures.

    How many times, in the past, has something been declared safe, and then found to cause serious problems? Thalidomide was given to women to prevent morning sickness, and then found to cause very serious birth defects. How many scientists working on the Manhattan project died of cancer, because they were not able to predict what exposure to radiation would do to the human body. If scientists are not able to accurately predict risks, then they should not be doing something as risky as cloning anything, much less anything to do with human beings.

  • Hybrid human cloning with other species is a reckless application of science that should not be allowed.

    As human beings we have a moral obligation to be concerned about the quality of life of every living creature. Hybrid human beings created with other species would be nothing more than freak-show attractions. Any scientist who chose to engage in these kinds of experiments would be engaging in highly unethical behavior and should be at risk of prosecution by the appropriate authorities.

  • Hybrid human cloning with other species doesn't seem possible and seems morally irresponsible.

    Hybrid human cloning with another species seems like a nicer way of describing human vivisection. It's unnecessary, cruel and could end up with disastrous results. I believe in progress, but this seems like progress for the sake of experimentation and not progress for the sake of something good. There's no known benefit to this, so why bother?
