Do you remember that John Lennon song he recorded before his untimely death, "Imagine-?

The subject of human cloning brings about many heated arguments and disagreements and is whether you're for it or against it, you cannot fail to ignore that it is downright dangerous.

Well, it's very possible, and very scary too. People that are for cloning talk about how we could possibly bring back historical figures by cloning their DNA.
