Are clones human?

If human beings are really cloned, there will be a lot of highly controversial ethical issues, and it should take a long time for confusion. Finally, international law (the common contract of human beings) will be used to determine whether cloned human beings are human or not.

To answer this question, I am afraid that we must first define what "human" is. From the current point of view, it seems that "being able to create tools" is the essential difference between humans and animals. Then cloned human brains and limbs are exactly the same as human beings, so they should also be able to. Creating tools, in this sense, should be considered human. Coupled with various aspects such as appearance, it is difficult to say that he is not human.

From another point of view, human beings are born from their parents and are manufactured. They are all products, or works, which do not belong to human beings, but may belong to the product of cell division in primitive simple organisms.

However, you must know that "born of parents" is not a necessary condition for "people", and Dolly is not born of parents, it is also a sheep.

Therefore, the understanding here may need to be modified, and the manufactured ones can also be human beings, not limited to objects.

After all, clones are human.

Then there must be human rights. You can't be slaughtered. If they can't be slaughtered, what is the purpose of making them? Just playing with technology? Can science be proven?

Very thoughtful.

Perhaps, instead of cloning people, only cloning organs is one direction. Like the beating heart in a box in Doctor Grey.

In addition, there is an interesting question, what is the relationship between the clone and the subject? How do you call the subject?
