Most people panic when they hear the words "human cloning". Crazy thoughts run through their heads, imaginations run wild. They think of people exactly the same, and no one person would be different. Cloning to some people is even considered "evil." Most religious people believe that is "Playing God", however, is not a magical way of creating life. It is a scientific procedure that will save many lives, cure diseases and let infertile couple have biological children of their own. .
The definition of a clone, an organism, or group of organisms, derived from another organism by an asexual reproductive process (Church of Scotland, 02). With other techniques scientists can isolate sections of DNA representing single genes, determine their nucleotide sequences, and reproduce them in the laboratory. This offers the possibility of creating entirely new genes with commercially or medically desirable properties. I think cloning of mammals is a good thing, because It can help many people that need transplants and there is no one to help them, then they can use cloning of mammals.
It is a scientific procedure that will save many lives, cure diseases and let infertile couple have biological children of their own. The benefits of human cloning are many. One of the most vital problems that are happening in the world today is finding organ donors that have compatible organs with the person that needs them. Using cloning technology, you can clone a person's organs, grow them, and then use them for a transplant. The organ is guaranteed 100% compatible with the patient. This procedure could save millions upon millions of lives. I can not understand how anyone could say that we have " A moral obligation to ban cloning" when it could save millions of people's lives.*.
While it may take time for cloning to be fully accepted, therapeutic cloning will likely be the first step in that direction. Therapeutic cloning is the process by which a person's DNA is used to grow an embryonic clone.
