Human cloning should be allowed

Should humans be cloned? This is the question that many people all over the world have been debating. Some say it is morally wrong, that we would be nefariously attempting to play the role of God. However, the facts have shown that there is nothing inherently wrong with human cloning. Based on Wikipedia, Cloning define as the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually. Whereas, cloning in biotechnology refers to processes used to create copies of DNA fragments, cells (cell cloning), or organisms. Scientists have proved a number of times that human cloning would be nothing but beneficial to the human race, if only it was legal. If the law allowed human cloning, it would not only save lives, but it would lead to a number of advancements in scientific research, and improve the quality of life.

Human cloning would be a positive harbinger for mankind, and an excellent opportunity for the advancement of science. In the past century, scientists have been assiduous workers in making numerous achievements, discoveries, and inventions, giving us the knowledge we have acquired about ourselves and about the world around us. For years, scientists have studied and made tremendous progress in cloning. Experts say that if cloning research was legal we could find better treatments, and perhaps even cures for many terrible diseases that so many of us suffer and die from each year. For example, AIDS. This is a well-known illness that damages the human immune system. Even though there are treatments available, but statistics show that three million people die from AIDS each year and yet so far, no one has been able to find a cure. With cloning, scientists could copy and create more white blood cells to fight off and kill the deadly virus. This would save millions of innocent lives. It would also help in making new medical discoveries and expand our knowledge. With new advancements, we could continue to explore, research, and learn as just we have been doing for several years.

Clones would be the best organ donors. Imagine our mother suddenly gets cancer in her kidneys and she needs to have a transplant. Assuming we love our mother and would do anything for her, hence we decide to be her donor. Then after the operation, her body rejects the new, foreign organ, and the kidney fails. The doctor says that the only way she would survive would be to find a kidney with the same type of tissue as her original, healthy tissue. The solution to our mother's problem and the answer to our prayers would be cloning. Because a clone can exact copy, she would have no worries about her body accepting the organ or not. This would be the only way to save her life. But there is just one problem, cloning humans is not legal. What is going to happen to our mother? Are we going to allow our mother to die? Hence, human cloning should be allowed.

Besides, infertile couples could have biologically related children. For years, couples everywhere have been facing problems of infertility, meaning that they are unable to reproduce. Many of these unfortunate couples still want children, so they decide to adopt a child. The problem with that is that the kids are not actually blood related, and this leaves an empty hole in so many people's lives. With cloning, these couples could finally have children with their own genes. They would be exact copies of one parent's DNA. Cloning is the perfect solution for making many people incredibly happy, and helping the human race grow.

A handful of wary people say that cloning is unethical and would be deleterious to the human race. They say that there should only be one of each person in this world, because our individuality is what makes each person special and unique. I too believe that our individuality is what makes us special. But what do these people think about identical cloning? It is proven scientifically that identical twins have the same genetic information. That would mean that twins are not unique or special individuals. Their minds, personalities, health, and fitness grow and change depending on how they are raised, the things they are exposed to and the activities they become interested in. Expert, James Trefil said, "Clones would be just like twins. The only difference being that the twin is born later." It would be impossible for a clone to grow up to be exactly like his original. He would be brought up differently, have different life experiences, and have relationships entirely unique to that person. Also, as researcher, Wes Carrington says, "A clone and its donor would be very different and they would even have different fingerprints."

In a nutshell, I believe that human cloning should be allowed. It is because human cloning would be entirely beneficial for science, and the quality of life, in addition helping the prosperity of the human race. It would save, create, and improve lives all over the world. This would be an amazing accomplishment for scientists and following this major milestone, who knows what we going to discover next. Human cloning would help the human race, the world of science, and the age of technology. Hence, the government should realise the benefits of human cloning and allow doing human cloning.
