Blog #2 Should we clone full humans? For what purpose?


Yes i think we should be able to clone full humans. I think we should be able to as long as the person(s) that are being cloned approve of it.It would be cool because if you feel sick or you cannot make it somewhere important you can always send your clone to replace you.
