Human cloning

Introduction

Human cloning is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning. The most successful cloning was Dolly the sheep. Human clones have the form of identical twins. They are genetically identical, which doesn't mean altogether identical.

Arguments for

Therapeutic cloning could provide needed organ transplants. It can be used like a cure for cancer as well as a better treatment for heart attacks. It can be used with parents who are both infertile to have children, but I am not sure. Organ transplants can save lives. Cloning allows gay couples to have babies. It will be funny to see a person like you and that'll be very strange too.

Arguments against

I think it will be very dangerous. There will be health problems. Cloned human could die young. Reproductive cloning is expensive and highly inefficient. I think genes were more or less active compared to normal embryos. Problems may result from programming errors. Defects can appear in the genetic material due to abnormalities of cloned embryos.

Conclusion

I think humans shouldn’t be cloned. Several cloned animals have died prematurely from infections and other complications and humans can suffer the same problems.
