HUMAN CLONING

Introduction

Human cloning is a current dilemma. A clone is a multicellular organism that is genetically identical to another one. The process of cloning is easy. First the nucleus of an adult cell is taken and put into a not fertilized ovum. This ovum starts dividing itself successive times until forming an embryo genetically identical to the individual who donated the cell. But should human people be cloned?

Advantages

Therapeutic cloning needs the genetic material of an adult cell to obtain embryonic mother cells destined to produce different fabrics or organs with therapeutic targets. Moreover, cloning might allow the detention of the extinction of some species in order to support the ecological balance. Also, cloning would give the possibility of having a son from a sterile women, using a cell of her organism.

Disadvantages

Human cloning is a moral problem for Christian people. Experimentation with human embryos is an assassination attempt on the life of these human defenseless beings.

Conclusion

I think that human cloning is a good solution for diseases and to save some species in extincion.
