Truthfully, cloning is very exciting for medical application. You could replace damaged organs that are unrepairable with a clone from the same person. It could definitely eliminates the severe complications that transplant patients had.

It will take more than a few hundred years to clone a real human. They need to take physiological, psychological and anatomical evaluation to redeem the clone is a human. Humans can't copy a being but it can copy cells that imitates the original being.

I'm ok 100% with the research. Being a muslim is not an issue to say that cloning is unethical. Its unethical to put a stop into development that can save you and other's life. Putting a halt in it is the same as promoting avoidable death among mankind.

BTW, Fiction stays fiction.
