Human Cloning: A Brave New World Heading Towards Disaster Human cloning is an emerging science in which genetic material is altered and manipulated in various ways in order to modify the characteristics of an organism. This new technology has been met with both acceptance and disbelief. Some people believe that human cloning is beneficial to our society and will open up a vast new ... they could clone multiple types of crops which farmers could grow that would be immune to most pesticides.
