Human Cloning

            One can imagine lying in bed with the knowledge that they have only.
             This prognosis is brought on because the person needs a.
             new heart, liver, kidney, or any other life saving organ. Now that the.
             realization of what has transpired hits this person it is time to find an.
             organ donor. It could be the next car crash victim or someone from the.
             immediate family. However, the odds of finding a donor grim. Wouldn't it.
             be nice if the technology to clone a perfectly matching organ to replace.
             the faulty one existed? This is the problem with today's society. Too.
             many people are afraid of the future. Cloning, like any other science is.
             hindered by the general public's fear of the unknown. Whether it is a.
             single cell to a full human, cloning research is a major next step in.
             scientific development. It is easy to understand why people fear the.
             unknown, but it is hard to figure out why they can't take a step back and.
             realize that cloning is basically an extension of current and accepted prac.
             tices. .
             Also, the general public's fear shows up in the nation's.
             congress and even the president. Who knows the real opinions of the.
             individuals in congress, but as long as the general public is against.
             cloning, politicians will be too, so they can gain support from voters.
             Even with all these setbacks, there are still major uses for cloning.
             research. Uses that will never present themselves unless people put down.
             their moral, ethical, and religious shields and allow the research to take.
             its course. Regardless of the majority opinion, cloning is just another.
             science. It deserves the time and mind straining efforts given by today's.
             scientists. It doesn't deserve to be shut out or pushed aside because.
             people are too paranoid to let the future take its course.
             Cloning has been around for several years. With all the media coverage, the general public's knowledge of cloning has shifted from nothing to forming biased opinions on a topic they really still don't have all the facts about.
