I dont agree witrh amit laha.Childless couples may adopt a baby.But there might occur cloning up of a man like Hitler in its name which will undoubtedly be a threst to human dynasty. Even cloning animals with artificiAl intelligence may lead to their dominance over us.

Well to all the supporters of Cloning, I want to pay courteous homage to your blatant cry for Human cloning. But please try and imagine a world(world can mean family, colony, town or state i.e. social circle) full of people of same ideologies all over( this is what cloning will eventually bring). How much droning will it bring in our lives? If everyone will be exact replica of each other(say in terms of intelligence)what will happen to competition that exists which is the driving force for improvement...

before giving any opinion in favor of cloning, Imagine a world full of mahatma gandhi. and then ask yourself about the condition of technology, development, fun, Art, Music, Love, Adventure. U will be muddled after thinking this and hope u will then understand the detriments of Cloning especially human cloning

It is said that not even a leaf can move without the God's will. Then I ask how did human come to know of cloning if it wasn't already intended by Him?
I would like to say that banning cloning is not a solution. The many medical breakthroughs it has can benefit the human race to a great extent. But it must be regulated and kept under strict guidance.
Like many other inventions cloning too has its drawbacks. For example a simple air conditioner: gives us comfort from high temperatures but on the other hand the CFCs coming out of it deplete the ozone layer,thus affecting human health. Likewise human cloning to has its pros and cons.

Most of you have discussed the effect of human cloning on the society. But consider the plight of that clone. We consider God as our creator. Being created by a scientist would that cone be even considered a human? Would she be acceptable to the society?Would she be given the same status we enjoy? These are the few of the many social drawbacks of cloning.

When you say human cloning, it doesn't mean that you get an exact replica of that human being. And moreover, the result of the clone is a new born baby, rather than a brain-washed full grown with no emotions.
Look at a positive aspect of cloning. It could be used as a way for infertile couples to have children. Cloning and surrogacy could go hand in hand.
Also, it could be used as a way to get rid of any genetic problems that a couple may have. This could especially be of great importance to the people suffering from genetic mutations from the Bhopal Gas Tragedy.

Hi i disagree with clonning should be stopped. As for research purpose it should go ahead but the same way we should take care that it could not be implemented in our lives so we would not affected with the adversed effect of this experiment.

My opinion is it is a most receptive form of human creature,most of us will think of that it is created by biasing nature laws but it is actually a combination of hardwares like a robot,the difference is robot responds to the instructions by programs in digital signals,cloning creature is a hardware with nucleus can respond by semi-structured organic molecules,though it is hard to structure the organic molecules according to the human instructions.

In my point of view,cloning of human body should be banned.If we think about the advantage and disadvantage of cloning there are more disadvantage as comparing to the advantage of cloning like -cloning can be used in case of terrorism,increasing population etc.Another thing is that we simply go against the god's creation.So cloning should be banned.

Hello everyone,.

I would begin the discussion in not so affirmative tone, science has rocketed and leaped the conventional barriers. There has been Genetically modified plants then why are we restricting it to immovable objects. If a better clone with favourable characteristics can be produced then we should not procrastinate much on the thought. But it should remain under stern vigil of authorities. May be soon we might see a new soldier with improved combat, highly trained in martial arts and et-al activities. Even we might clone some best brains and permanently eradicate genetic disorders like dow's syndrome and others. Finally, equal thoughts should be given on the both the sides.

Cloning must be banned because its against human laws. We cannot experiment with God's creation. It includes substantial amount of risk which can further cause destruction in various fields. Scientist must enhance their technologies and researches to find different alternatives to replace human cloning and searching a useful process to recreate mankind.

Cloning is one of the precious achievement of the human beings. But it gives motivates to the new of technology of science.
