For starters, I’ll take you through a brief history of cloning and how it got to be the large-scale discussion it is today. In 1938, Hans Spemann thought of a "fantastical experiment" to transfer one cell's nucleus into an egg without a nucleus. That is the basic thought in the process of cloning. In 1944, Oswald Avery discovered that genetic information was carried by the nucleic acids of cells. In 1952 Briggs and King cloned a tadpole. In 1977, Karl Illmensee claimed to have created mice with only one parent. In 1996, Dolly, the first animal cloned from adult cells was born. Then a clone of a monkey was done in March of 1997. Tha

I don’t think they should be able to design your own child. I am a religious person, and I believe that only one that has the right to determine what a person is to look like is God. I feel that some things are just better to be left to chance. I’m strongly behind changing the DNA so there are no diseases, but the changing of how a person looks is just too much for me. So in conclusion, I believe that cloning would be helpful, and good things to continue researching as long as the human characteristics are not changed.

The thought of designing a child brings us to the next reason people are against cloning. There is the religious side of the topic. People believe that when people try to predetermine a child’s appearance, it is like taking the role of God, the only one that has the right to determine what a child’s appearance will be. If you follow the Bible, word for word, it says a child must be conceived by sexual intercourse within marriage. So cloning would be going against the Bible because cloning does not produce a child through sexual intercourse.

t brought the cloning close to humans due to the relative likeness between primate and human DNA.
