HUMAN CLONING

Introduction

Cloning is the scientific procedure that consists of taking the genetic material of an organism to obtain another identical, called clone. In a cloning process an ovum is not merged with sperm. The first mammal cloned from an adult animal was the sheep Dolly.

Arguments for

On the one hand, cloning has advantages like the treatment or the recovery of certains illness. Moreover cloning can serve to save endangered species.

Arguments against On the other hand, cloning has disadvantages like the replication of the human being, which implies a manipulation of the human reproduction. Some persons will take advantage of this scientific progress to obtain their own benefits. For example, a couple would be able to choose a few genes which match with the physical features that they like, instead of having relations to have a child, so that racism would increase very much.

Conclusion

In conclusion cloning can be a benefit for everybody, if it is used to save lives, but I think that a few laws should be established for the correct application of cloning in order to avoid possible conflicts.
