Cloning to study Nature vs Nuture

[Neurocomp2003]

Enlight of the new studies in Korea.

Do you think it is amoral to use cloning to study Nature vs Nuture?? If cloning was allowed I think this could bring new light

onto the nature vs nuture debate.

 

1) We could really test how much does a fetus experience in the womb.

 

2) We can place them all around the world, in different cultures, different social classes, different eating habits etc.

 

I personally side with 80-90% nuture and 20-10% Nature and I think this would help greatly. What do you guys think

hmmm.....I was under the impression that twin studies have pretty much showed behavior and intelligence are over 60% nature, and no, I don't think it's amoral. I don't think there is a difference between a pair of clones and an identical twin, so I doubt clones would be any more helpful than a pair of twins.

 

I could be wrong though.

the only problem with twin studies..is that most are born in the same womb. and have the same parents growing up.

 

but I know of studies out there that do study twins that grow up apart. I do not remmeber the results but with clone studies youcan attempt to control the type of parent(class/culture)

 

 

 

 

WIth clones you can 1) not have the same womb

2) same setting.
