Human Cloning


            Reasons to Allow Reproductive Human Cloning.
             Since the dawn of man, science has been filled with controversial advances. When the power of fire was first harnessed by ancient societies, many viewed it as a destructive force that needed to be banned. More recently, breakthroughs in areas such as artificial insemination have led to much controversy. .
             Initially, many such developments were considered scientifically unsound. However, time has proven their successes to be truly worthwhile. Ancient tribesman could stay warm through winter because of fire; thousands of babies have been born through artificial insemination. These examples demonstrate that although many scientific innovations are originally regarded with fear and suspicion, they eventually prove their worth to mainstream society. .
             Reproductive human cloning is a technologically feasible advancement that naysayers believe should be banned. However, these protesters oftentimes do not even understand the methods behind the procedure they are protesting against. .
             The first step in cloning a human would be to replace the haploid nucleus of the host egg with a donor's nucleus containing a full set of genes. Applying an electrical current would then jolt the host egg into beginning growth. If implanted in a surrogate mother, the egg could then continue through its nine-month gestation period. The final stage would result in the birth of a perfectly healthy human clone. .
             Critics of this process do not take the time to realize that the benefits of human cloning outweigh its potential risks. The opportunities for cloning to enhance a person's life are far too great for it to be prohibited based on ignorant fears. Reproductive human cloning should be allowed. .
             Perhaps the most advantageous aspect of allowing human cloning would be its ability to prevent the transmission of genetically inherited diseases.
