    In my opinion, humans have been cloned. However, that does not change the fact that humans have never been cloned.

    How is this framed as an “opinion”? It has either happened or not, thus becoming a question of “fact”.

        A) if someone succeeded at this, they’d brag about it as soon as possible and
        2] not knowing still wouldn’t make it a matter of opinion

          Its so weird. I just like. Look up the word opinion and youre like entirely wrong.

          What are we doing here?

          On both count, entirely wrong.

          Is everyone here a fucking clone and I’m just oblivious?

            An opinion would be should humans be cloned. That’s a subjective answer. Whether or not humans have been cloned is objective.

            That’s a terrible definition, where did you get it? (This is my opinion, you understand.)

            Merriam-Webster has a much better set of definitions, if you want to compare. (Another opinion!) Though while you’re there maybe also look up clone?

              All of these work

              Can you just say you didnt like my phrasing and move on already?

            Yet another person who doesn’t understand the basics of logic in that you fundamentally cannot prove a negative. You have to prove the positive. If the positive cannot be proven then it has to be assumed that the negative is true.

            Is there proof of successful human cloning? No, thus it is assumed using basic logic that humans have not yet been successfully cloned.
