Cloning


            
             When thinking of cloning, many people only consider the exciting realm of possibilities. Just imagine, defying death: cloning yourself and having the ability to live forever. Or how about "designing" the perfect child or even duplicating a lost loved one. Parents could "fix" their baby in the womb or lay out for a geneticist, exactly what they want their child to be. The possibilities are almost endless. Cloning can make these scenarios and many more seem realistic. Although human cloning is a large and exciting milestone in the medical field, it should not be allowed. The effects on society are too unpredictable and potentially dangerous. The process made thus far is not promising and does not make any guarantees concerning the outcomes of cloning. Abnormalities, defects, and uncertainty make up the results of the experiments done concerning cloning thus far.
             Attempts have been made to clone human embryos, but they too have failed. All have died or harbored genetic defects related to the cloning process. Some will argue that the embryos are not technically human beings, however, that statement is false. Embryos are in fact humans at early stages in development. Therefore, human lives have been tampered with and lost for a cause that has not proven beneficial to society in any way.
             Also, it is important to consider what could happen if cloning got into the hands of the wrong people, for example, Adolph Hitler or Osama bin Laden. The thought of terrorists such as those two being cloned is horrific, but a great possibility. The cloning of a human being will be extraordinarily expensive; therefore, if it proves to have benefits, only certain people will be eligible to receive them. Also, if one has money, it does not matter who they are, they have a right to take advantage of cloning. There is no set law of certain characteristics one must possess in order to be cloned; therefore the consequences could be disastrous.
