Human Cloning

Cloning is not a horrible science experiment, but a monumental scientific development. People look upon the idea of human cloning with fear and disdain. Many do not realize that the cloning of human beings could be beneficial to the human race. Many researchers involved in cloning experiments believe that cloning could offer a way for infertile couples and other couples a way to reproduce, when they otherwise could not. Cloning could offer the gift of life to those who might not be able to obtain it by other means. No one is saying that this would be the best way to reproduce, but it could be a valid option to those who wish. Another case in which human cloning may be acceptable could involve a child who needed an organ such as a kidney, or bone-marrow transplant. If cloning were an option, the parents could choose to clone the child in order to produce another who could donate whatever is needed. This is a possible option and does not mean that it would be an actual implication of cloning. .
             The implications of cloning technology have sparked the debate. Many question the moral and ethical aspects of cloning. Many ask if it is ethical to bring a child in to this world to replace someone else. This same question of whether it is right to have another baby after one has died. No one is saying that the child's sole purpose is to replace some one else, the child is brought into the world to be loved. There also have been defects in animal clones and some wonder if the weight of a human life is less that that of a science experiment. Life is precious and defects could occur, that is precisely the reason the government should regulate and monitor all cloning research and development. With regulations, perhaps cloning experiments may not be as harmful, and safety measures and precautions can be taken before any experimentation could be done on humans. This would also ensure that the technology is advanced enough to guarantee that no harm is done.
