Human Cloning
The question of weather we should clone humans is finally here. Not only that, this question is inevitable, vacillating and certainly very debatable. Finally, after many years of wondering medical science has excelled so much that now the idea of cloning humans is no longer a foolish fantasy. It is my belief that the cloning of humans is obscure and unnatural; therefore, cloning humans should be illegal. If cloning humans would be legal there would be crime. If people started to make clones, then everyone would want a clone of themselves (a healthy clone). So if the original person gets injured he or she would take an organ from their clone. This would mean death for the poor clone. This would be crime because the clone is a human being, just like us, but with its own mind. This means that a human clone is a normal, regular person, no different from anyone else. Killing would be illegal. A type of black market for embryos could easily someday develop (Can). Experiments could also start to take place. That would be illegal-to experiment on humans. Cloning is morally wrong. The U.S. Senate has considered a bill to make human cloning a federal crime. The Scripps Howard news service reported it on F
Because of cloning humans a catastrophe could develop. If not treated properly the clones could start to protest against the development of clones. They could fight against the people who made them and who encourage this development thus getting control over them. Even if the clones were treated as the average person there would still be a problem. If they are not kept in cages-in labs, but are living in cities there would be great confusion to who is really who. Clones could pretend to be one another which would certainly be a bad thing. For example if a criminal gets caught, he could send his clone to jail instead of him. Someone could make a copy of the president or general and order that clone to steal important documents which the they may access. Also, if someone wanted to blackmail the president they could by using a clone, making a video may be one of their ideas. If clones would be made, the police wouldn't know who to blame even in petty crimes. In this case there would be crime, unfair punishment and chaos. As god intended we should all be different in many ways, good or bad. If there were a lot of cloned people genetic variability will be reduced. This population would be susceptible to the same diseases. One virus may kill the entire population (CON). Those against human cloning believe the technology will give us godlike powers and lead to a more homogeneous human race (Poll: Should). Messing with nature jus
