So far I only know two types of cloning that have been experimented. The first one at genetic, cellular and tissue level which is not intended to create a clone individual and the other one is to create an individual. For there are both advantages and disadvantages to cloning, I still think this technology should carry on. What can be done will be done? I think it is useful in understanding diff diseases and its treatments, creating organ tissue reservers, in creating children for individuals and I guess for immortalization of self. Cloning researches leads us to greater understanding of the cellular life cycle, like to know why cells divide. IF somebody has cancer n it needs to be treated first of all it becomes necessary to know why and how cancerous cells mutate and uncontrollably divides into millions. So basically it is important in the manipulation of curing n preventing diseases. N cloning is also helpful in neuroscience to give us the understanding of why spinal cord tissue, brain tissue n heart muscles do not regenerate after injury. And I think none of the people yu mentioned above should be cloned. The one i wanted to be cloned is not in the list. so more later.......
