Human cloning is an issue that greatly concerns the public (Tauzin 1). Cloning is a process that involves taking a nucleus with the DNA of a person and put it in an egg where there is no nucleus, then implant it in a womb of a female to carry to term (Green 1). Cloning could assist in making discoveries of genetics, cell development, and human growth ("Pro: Cloning Supporters" 1). Scientists could be further along than anyone thinks (Tauzin 2). Human cloning can be a great way for couples to have children and people to save lives.
After continuous researches the technological benefits will out weigh the social consequences ("Pro: Cloning Supporters" 1). It could help couples who don't have eggs or sperm that are able to produce a child, women with blocked fallopian tubes, and men how produce too few sperm. Yet, women without ovaries would still have to have a donor gamete that, but she wouldn't have anything to do with the child genetically (Green 1). Cloning would also open the door for lesbians to have children without the hassle of the sperm donor wanting to be in the child's life (3-4). Cloning would allow women to go through one pregnancy to have two identical children, instead of two pregnancies that aren't identical. There would be a greater understanding of miscarriages and successful contraceptives that could possibly prevent abortions ("Pro: Cloning Supporters" 1). .
Second, cloning could help couples with a disease not transmit it to their offspring by analyzing the embryo genetically before it's implanted. Gene therapy can also help by replacing the defective genes to eliminate Tay-Sachs, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, and Huntington disease from family trees (Green 4). Cloning can reverse damage from diabetes, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease (2). Information on cells obtained from cloning research could help stop the division of cells that would terminate cancer ("Pro: Cloning Supporters" 1).
