Clone Wars: Ethical or Icky?

In this episode of “F.N. White People,” Harry and Brandy discuss the ethical implications of cloning humans.

Harry argues in favor of human cloning for purposes such as organ donation (acting as “insurance policies”) and creating perfect soldiers. He initially views clones as extensions of the original person.

Brandy strongly disagrees, asserting that cloned humans would be separate beings with the right to bodily autonomy, just like traditionally born humans. She finds the idea of using clones for organ harvesting or as soldiers unethical. While she finds the science of cloning interesting, she is concerned about the treatment of the resulting individuals.
