First of all, human cloning technology would allow humans to go further into the field of studying genetic diseases so that humans could test for them and perhaps find a cure someday. The advancements in testing for genetic diseases could spark cures for diseases such as cancer, Tay-sachs, and leukemia. Using cloning technology to ensure the sex of a baby could prevent Tay-sachs disease, because it is a sex related disease. Also according to "Why Clone Human Embryos?" "Onocologists believe that embryonic study will advance understanding of the rapid cell growth of cancer" (1). Leukemia patients would no longer experience the agonizing wait for a bone-marrow transplant. Some people feel that cloning in general is unethical and immoral because it allows man to "play God". Many religious philosophies teach that human life is unique, and should be created, determined and controlled only by their god. Moreover, many religions such as Judaism, Roman Catholicism, and Protestantism think that human cloning is unnatural and is the equivalent to "playing God." This might be a valid argument if every person in the world shared the same religious beliefs or even believed in God. However, this is obviously not so, the religious diversity in America alone is too great to justify one sector or religion determining what is lawful or moral. There are several practices that are not allowed by various religions, yet they are not outlawed. For example, The Jewish and Muslim faiths do not permit the consumption of pork, but anyone can still go to the supermarket and buy bacon. Catholics are not allowed, by their faith, to use any form of birth control, yet condoms and birth control pills are still available to whoever wants them (Hume 23). So, many views of human cloning are influenced by religious beliefs. Indeed, banning this process because it does not correspond with some religious beliefs is in itself a corrupt idea.
