Essay Prompt #4

Human Cloning

         Many people feel human cloning is a violation of the natural order of things and that all research in the area of human cloning should be banned. Others feel that this is natural progression of science and human evolution and that research in the area of human cloning should be a priority. In human cloning what is there to see and know about it. Human cloning can have its pros and cons in the process and people's opinions as well. Would you go against human cloning, or in favor of it? How would you feel if you had another identical yourself.
         Human cloning is the creation of genetically identical copy of a human, not usually referring to birth, but to a human cell or human tissue. The ethics of cloning is an extremely controversial issue.  Cloning an organism involves replicating the DNA of that organism in a new organism that, as a result, has the same exact features and charatcerisitcs. Human cloning would mean recreating the person that is being cloned.
           Human cloning has its pros and cons at times. Cloning in human beigs can prove to be a solutionb to infertility. Cloning has the potential of serving as an option for producing children. Cloning may make it possible to reproduce a certain trait in human beings. We will be able tp produce people with certain qualities, human beings with particular desirable triats, thus making human beings a man-made being. Cloning may allso help us combat a wide range of genetic diseases. Cloning can make it possible for us to obtain customized organisms and harness them for health benefits of society. Also, can serve as the best means to replicate animals that can be used for research purposes. Some cons can be cloning created identical genes. It is a process of replicating a genetic constitution, thus hampering the diveristy in genes. While lessening the diversity in genes, we weaken our ability of adaption Cloning detrimental to the beauty that lies in diversity. Whil cloning allows man to tamoer with genetics in human beings, it also makes deliberate reproductio of undesirable traits, a probability. In cloning human organs and using them for transplant, or in cloning human beings themselves, technical and economic  barriers will have to be considered. Human cloning can put rights at stake.
         In my opinion, I would feel that it is a violation of the natural order of things and that all research in the area of human cloning should be banned because it is not right to make clones even though scientists might use this for an experiment. Even though if it would be for that, I dont think its a good idea to do human cloning because someone doesn't really know what the clone would be use for and what harm can it make to the world if there was doubles everywhere. Reproductive Cloning on humans has been banned in many countries including USA and UK.In cloning a human, no one really knows if they can have the same intelligence and capabilities as normal human beings have. Human cloning is really risky, even though it can help people to produce new organs for transplanting old organs. I just think it isn't right to do human cloning and it should stay banned.
