The rapid development of the technology for cloning has led to moral debates around the world on whether or not to ban cloning humans. With the advancement of clone technology two states, California and Michigan have already banned the cloning of humans. "Everybody who thought it would proceed slowly and could be stopped was wrong," said Lee Silver, a professor from the University of Princeton. Without proper research to support the ban, the premature ban should be reconsidered and appealed. Cloning could provide a way for infertile couples to produce children genetically similar to themselves, a method of creating spare organs for transplants, and a cure for genetic disease. Human cloning may provide numerous benefits to mankind and should not be banned. .
Some people say that it is morally wrong and others are scared that a leader, such as Saddam Hussein, will clone himself. Maybe he will create some mindless droids or bring Hitler back from the dead and rule the world. They also think that some day we will be able to go to the hospital and just pick up a baby one with the genetic material they like the best. Then we will no longer need marriage and people will grow apart and live alone most of their life. .
Cloning is the creation of another person that is an exact copy of another person. This definition leaves too much to the imagination and leads to misunderstanding of the methods scientists use in cloning. In clear terms, cloning is the process in which DNA of a female egg is replaced with different DNA from another cell. This process is referred to as the Nuclear Transfer or Nuclear Substitution. DNA molecules are the strings of protein that hold genetic coding. In this operation, the nucleus, which is the part of the cell that contains the DNA, is carefully removed from an unfertilized female egg and then replaced with the DNA from the cell of another person.
