Questions:

1) Are humans responsible enough to use cloning systems on a macro-scale?
2) Does cloning on the macro-scale violate natural laws? If yes, should the science community vote to ban their usage?

1) Responsible in what regard? The only thing i can see be a problem would be related to animal cruelty

2) No, unless cloning uses magic

Question 2 deals more specifically with is cloning on the macro-scale an affront to God?

Oh...then natural law isn't the word you are looking for (divine law maybe?), and i'm don't qualify to give you a serious answer to that question. But wich God are you talking about? Jesus? (edit: it is not a trick question, if you want to get somewhat of a serious answer to this, you need to know on what holy book you would base your analysis)

also i don't know why the scientific community should ban anything because of the divine laws of some religious people. The better question would be about ethics, regardless of religion.

But wich God are you talking about? Jesus?

This was intended for multiple responses so I won't constrict the respondent to a certain God. I acknowledge though that the interpretation of the question is based on differing religious views so I encourage said respondent to answer based on the religious or philosophical model they feel most comfortable with.

well, as far as i know, the flying spagetti monster is ok with cloning, as long a he gets his share of sacred meatballs. (alright alright, i'll stop being an ass :D )

I had 3 million clones.....Jango > China

Stop derailing this, you bloody troll.

Tis true and relevant.

Genesis
1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

So apparently Yahweh/Jesus doesn't give a fuck about the cattle, we can do whatever we please with it, since we human have dominion over the animals. He made everything for us in the first place anyway, that's how special we are...

Violate natural laws? Human beings have violated them all through, why should we respect this particular one? ^

The cattle will die from air pollution before anything.

As long as they don't start cloning humans or use genetic modification to create mutant death animals I'm pretty neutral on the subject of cloning.

The cattle will die from air pollution before anything.

This^. Creating food for your people is great and all, but if I were in the Chinese government I'd focus more on creating some artificial fresh air.

It was more of a joke.. but thanks.
