Pros of Human Cloning
Should the vital organs of the human body ever be cloned, they can easily provide as a valuable and primary backup system for human beings across the world. It is a known fact that cloning body parts of a human being can truly be a priceless lifesaver. Should a body organ such as a lung kidney, heart or liver suddenly fail to function properly, a cloned body organ would be a most valuable and priceless solution in time of need.
Cloning of human beings can be most helpful for solving many issues that pertain to infertility. Human cloning has great potential of providing as an alternative for producing children. Cloning has a unique advantage in that it can possibly reproduce specific genetic traits in human beings. It has the capability to produce unique people with special qualities such as human beings with specific desirable and valuable traits, which means producing human beings a man made human being.
Advanced cloning technologies of today can be most helpful for researchers and labs involved in the study of genetics and hormones. This may enable them to better understand the complex composition of genes as well as the interesting effects of genetic constituents on human traits, genes and hormones in a better manner. It will be able to change genetic constituents in cloned human beings, the result being simplifying their analysis of genes and traits. Human cloning may also assist us in fighting a wide variety of genetic diseases in countries across the world.
Human cloning makes it possible for us to get customized genes and direct them for health benefits of the world. Cloning would also be most helpful to duplicate animals that can be then utilized for scientific research purposes.
Cloning can allow us to alter the genetics of animals and plants. If helpful changes can be brought about in human beings with the assistance of cloning, it will definitely be a most valuable service to mankind and the world.
Cons of Human Cloning
it is a known fact that human cloning creates identical genes. It is a unique procedure of duplicating a genetic constitution, which results in preventing the uniqueness in genes. While reducing the uniqueness in genes, we substantially weaken our ability of adaptation across many concepts. Human cloning is also very damaging to the beauty that lies in uniqueness.
Although human cloning allows people to tamper with gods genetics in human beings, it also makes deliberate duplication of traits not wanted to occur. Cloning of body organs will most likely lead to injury and damage to the world.
When cloning human beings or organs for transplants, technical and complex barriers will have to be confronted. It remains to be known if cloned organs are worth the cost. Will advanced cloning technology really reach the human being in this advanced world?
It should be of interest that human cloning will most likely place human and animal rights at high risk. Will cloning fit into our moral and ethical and standards? Will human cloning hurt mankind? Are you of the opinion that it will undermine the true value of human life across the world?
Some are of the opinion that human cloning is the exact equivalent of emulating our one and only God. Is that fair?
