Technology has come a long way and one of the most interesting programs that have made its way in the year of 2001 is cloning. Cloning is a process which scientist makes multiple identical copies of an organism. For many years scientist concentrated on cloning animals it was accomplished in 1997 where they cloned a sheep named "Dolly", dolly was proven to be identical like the Finn Dorsett mammary cells, but before the experiment was successful the numbers of attempts made were 276, so they took a long time to create the right form, they were a lot of sheep that didn't turn very healthy, and of course most of them died. This experiment wasted a lot of animals and it would be bad if they cloned tons of humans and then just all die anyways. I am against cloning because it could cause serious health risk, emotional risk and technology risk.
If a cloned human baby were to be born, it might turn out to have abnormal body, you might not be able to tell right away but later on as the years pass by it will start to show that the baby is severely abnormal so that would mean that they destroyed the baby. An example that would show a risk that the cloning process wouldn't turn out successful is in February 2003 "Dolly" the sheep died prematurely of severe lung disease and also suffered from arthritis at an early age. A good side to human cloning would be you can clone organs for people who have bad organs.
Finding out that you are a clone could hurt a person mentally. A child grows up thinking that he or she was born by her mother, as he or she finds out maybe in different ways such as finding forms of papers that he or she wasn't born by her mother's womb and that he or she is a clone. The situation might create a family problem. It would be difficult for the person that has found out that she is not the real person. But sometimes the child might not know and that would be a good thing. Cloning could be good if a mother cannot have babies, cloning would take care of the situation, it would be a miracle for the parents to have their own child, but I wouldn't call it a gift from God, because it certainly wasn't I would call it a gift from technology.
