Human cloning

[Helm]

Defining life calls for context. In what context? Socially? Biologically? Philosophically? 'at conception' doesn't cover everything. At best, it's an argument for biological definition. And that DOES have slippery slopes to it even there. Life, self-awareness and freewill all come into play for more challenging philosophical or social definitions.

I am not against human cloning 'for parts' as they say. Cloning a fully aware human being is a whole different thing. If we DO clone him, body harvesting him is wrong under my morality. But if not, such a clone does call for a host of new definitions of what he is, and how he compares to natural humans.
