Artificial insemination, embryo manipulation, and more were once strongly opposed by the world but we have grown accustomed to them and have accepted them as forms of reproduction. "Cloning is but one of many high-tech methods of reproduction" (Nussbaum 271). Right now infertility treatments are about 10 percent effective (272) and the couples go through an intense amount of physical and emotional pain and suffering just for a slim chance that hopefully they will be able to produce a child. And in most cases they run out of time and money with little or no success. Infertile men are made to feel like they are not "holding up their part of the deal," while women are made to feel as if they are useless. Banning human cloning is just like banning life. It would be depriving those couples that wish to raise a child of their own genetic traits. This kid could be the next great President of our country or he could develop the cure for cancer and if we banned human cloning we would never know what could have happened.

As far as curing cancer, human cloning technologies could hold the key to that question as well as developing a cure for many other "incurable diseases." Embryonic Stem Cell research is taking a human cell, and basically killing it until there is almost nothing left. Then we take out the nucleus of the cell and implant it into another cell which has no DNA and we "trick" the cell into growing into whatever organ it originated from, just like it was a stem cell, the first basic cell of every organ in our body (Haney AP Newswire). With this technology we could grow an unlimited supply of organs, which means no one would have to die from not having an exact match for organ transplant. Also burn victims could have skin grown for them. Christopher Reeves, Superman, could have spinal cord cells grown for him. Some diseases we are already born with which are deemed permanent defects.
