Human Cloning

Would you agree that cloning should be legalized because it may help cure diseases or transplant a damaged organ? First of all, cloning is a creation of an identical individual artificially. Most of the people don't even care, but if we come closer to whether it should be legalized or not, people will split, there will not be a define answer. Humanity desires for its benefits of providing our world with a medical resources, saving peoples lives and etc. Nevertheless, when the life of the person being cloned has to be considered at risk, the idea of the legalization of cloning can no longer be supported. Obviously, the cloned person would also be a human, and its a new life now, so it should be treated the same way as the original person. Cloning should not be legalized because its dangerous, expensive and unethical.

Cloning humans its a new field, “even cloning of small animals has a short history dated back to the 1960’s.( )Nearly 98 percent of attempts to clone animals have failed and those that do survive often appear abnormal and grossly enlarged.”( ) When the possibility of the success is less then 2%, it is fairly straight forward that it is too early for experiments with human-beings! People are not animals, and the loss of one in the experiment, can not be replaced. Likewise to the small percentage of success, only ten percent of sheep cloned lived over five years. Based on this research, it can be observed that cloning has not been around enough to try out it on humans. In conclusion, if cloning of animals has such a small rate of success, why would people allow this to happened to themselves?

“Researchers working with animals don’t have to worry about getting enough eggs. Cow eggs, for instance, can be bought cheaply from slaughterhouses that would otherwise discard them. For a recent paper on cloning in Science, Peter Mombaerts, a scientist at Rockefeller University in New York City who clones mice,...
