Human cloning - Have we finally gone too far?

[AdolescentMasturbator]

For the whole recreating the miracle of life/playing god thing I couldn't give a crap about.

The thing that concerns me is health issues. First of all the procedure is hardly perfected on sheep yet alone humans. Do people give you cancer drugs if they can't prove it's safe for animals? Same principle should apply to cloning. Second, you don't have an exact replica of you. You have someone that is extremely similar. DNA throughout your lifetime slightly changes, kind of like a VHS tape that's been played over a lot(i know bad analogy but it works), so you might have children flawed because of the old copy of a copy of a copy scenario.

Another thing that intriques me is if we have widespread cloning we might have a very quick dwindling of the variance in the gene pool. Each generation that passes should have more variations, not less.

Then there's the whole genetic engineering thing, but that's another topic altogether.
