Yes To Cloning!


            Imagine being able to add 50 years to your life. First you may be thinking, "Why would I do that? I"d be in horrible shape and everything would stop working!" Well that is until scientists are able to successfully use cloning to advance medicine into the future. Scientists have been toying for years with the idea of isolating cells to create embryos for a number of different purposes. Yet why is it that, after all this time spent and research conducted, we aren't utilizing the full medical potential of science? Because many people are against, or scared of, any type of "futuristic" science no matter how beneficial it may be. However, cloning it seems, is only full of positive effects and endless possibilities.
             Cloning isn't all about creating "superbabies" with genetically superior structures or about having identical octuplets walking around our planet. It's about medically advancing our population to keep up with our changing environment. One of the many great possibilities of cloning is disease treatment. According to an article in the Roanoke Times, author Kevin Miller's research on cloning and stem cells provides the evidence that these medical breakthroughs are quite possible: .
             Discovered about 2 years ago, stem cells could be the future in disease treatment. Scientists believe they can guide stem cells to become insulin producer cells for diabetes, new tissue for people suffering from muscular disorders, including heart disease, and a host of other body part affected by the disease. Therapies and products derived from stem cells could .
             eventually help treat Alzheimer's and Parkinson's as well as cancer, lung and liver disease according to PPL.
             In order to utilize these stem cells, a skin cell (or any cell for that matter, seeing as how every cell in our body carries genetic material) is injected into a woman's egg, and from .
             that egg, an embryo is created (Donn). It is these embryonic stem cells that hold so much potential for our future.
