Cloning of Animals

Controversial Issues: When it comes to cloning, people are against the fact of replicating and some are for the fact. Their values and ethics are what make them believe what they believe. Here are some issues people associate with cloning.

Pros: Cloning is good because we can clone organs. These organs can be used to help patients who need them. People who can not have children can finally have children through cloning. As buzzle.com says "Cloning can make it possible to reproduce a certain trait in human beings." A child can be born of desirable traits. Cloning can also help with research about genetics. Scientists can use cloning to combat genetic disease by cloning a certain type of gene and studying it. Cloning also helps in curing diseases. Therapeutic cloning allows scientists to use stem cells to cue the tissues, and other organs.

We will have less diverse genes which makes us easier to get sick. Cloning can also make undesirable traits. Cloning is also like "playing god." God is the one who created life. When we humans are cloning we are creating life and it mimics god's role. As http://www.actionbioscience.org/biotech/mcgee.html states "We are making babies instead of having babies." Cloning costs way too much. Cloning also violates a child's right. A clone can feel pressured becoming like or not like his or her's ancestor. Cloning is also taking an innocent life away. In therapeutic cloning, egg cells are harvested and it destroys the embryo. That embryo could have developed into a child. During therapeutic cloning you are basically committing murder because you are taking a life away.
