[Necropolis]

Its not the murder part I find creeepy, it is the dehumanization, or lack of respect for life.

Lack of respect? I don't think that's the case. I'm simply looking at things from a more detached point of view.

I believe that all life is sacred, and if that is true then this statement is also true, for life all life to be sacred some must die. It is a matter of honouring and respecting that which you kill as having an equal right to live, or for it making an unwilling sacrifice so that you may continue to do so.
I dont agree with the death penalty, it would be wrong to cure all diseases and also to cure old age, but it be far worse to create something that is a torture to its own existance.

That's some pretty noble thinking. Tell me, if you're outside and notice a mosquito on your arm, does anything of the sort that's quoted above go through your head, or do you just slap the little bloodsucker? Perhaps you realize she's simply taking the required sustenance necessary for herself to spawn more progeny and let her drink her fill and go on her merry way...or apologize before crushing the life out of her, but that seems doubtful to me.

Also it would not be cost effective.

How so?

It is so ingrained I dont have to think about it, although I did used to cry over insects suffering as they die. So no I don't go out and write dirges for mosquitos, but I don't really go out of my way to kill them either.

in the right hands it would be good in the wrong hands it could be catastrofic.

well dolly the sheep for example she had DNA of old sheep so she got old sheep diseases 

Cloning, If use correctly could increase the scope of human understanding and would make doors open for scientists in other fields.

I am an avid supporter of human cloning.
There are technologically feasable ways of creating the clone and maturing it to the level of adulthood, but essentially keeping it in a vegetablized state. What's so terribly wrong with "killing" something that was never truly alive and harvesting it's organs?
it would be no different from abortion, which in my mind is perfectly moral.
