hi..first of all, one of my friend has said the first animal to get cloned was a goat..so let me correct you..it was a sheep who was cloned, not a goat and named dolly. In my view, cloning can help human in many ways like if a person dies and he is the only source of earning income than he should be cloned and come back to the family. moreover i think the process of cloning is also somewhere controlled by god so its not harming the nature in any manner..brain is also given to us by the supreme god so why to disrespect him by not allowing us to research and do inventions like this.

Firtly cloning is making identical copy of a man. If scientist are making research on the development of cloning technology, it is not an illegal activity. It can be used in various fields in the interest of the world like for making various tests, identifying the treatment of diseases, detecting the criminals or terrorist provided it shouldn't be misused. for this purpose, they should make strict rules and regulations to avoid the misuse of it.

This is Nowfil, in my vision,human being cloning is to be strictly banned.if it is developed and became a common thing like other science & technology inventions, value of human life will be reduced and chances of crimes will be increased. now it is impossible to catch osama-bin-laden just because of cloning. so better research on cloning is to be banned first to prevent this danger rather than curing after suffered

Yes, research on human cloning should be banned. It is totally unethical and will disrupt the way we interact with others. Humans are considered as the most developed social animal but we should not fool ourselves by thinking of us as the creator. we should not interfere with things that we cannot control.
Researching for the sake of development and actually implementing it as two very different issues. Researching is always good but i still strongly feel that human cloning would be unethical.

In my opinion Cloning is just help to human and I believe everything have two phase which phase you see it depends on you.And also major breakthrough cloning could help is for people who gotten into car accidents and other accidents, and injured their spinal cord in some way. If they allowed cloning they may be able to grow new nerves in the spinal cord, which means people that are in wheel chairs due to spinal cord injures may be able to get up and walk away due to cloning. Just think of the good that could do for the world. It would change a lot of minds of people who were against cloning.

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.

I dont think research in cloning should be banned,because research in any field should always be welcome.Rather we can put a bar in implementation.if cloning is used as a business purpose then it must be banned but research in cloning can lead us to a new era of medical science where we can treat a cancer patient successfully by using the research work in this field.so research is not against the law of nature but we have to be conscious in implementation.

Manisha's example of a man coming back to provide support to his family is absurd and laughable. Its not like the movies that you get instant replacement. It takes months and the result is not the exact replica but a new born baby which has bodily features of its parent genes but not the mind. Having said this I would like to say that banning is not the solution. Terrorism is banned but has hit us back. Regulating the cloning process is the need of the hour. If cloning gives us the possibility of making newton then it should be allowed. Banning will give rise to the likes of Hitler. And the question of it being unethical is totally presumptuous as we don't have proof that God created us.

Human cloning is not the one which is to be create a man kind but a plastic product where one can use it in a medicle science by providing it with replacable organs of ones because which things are not created by humans r not said even exist in natural being according to nature if human cloning can be done for good then it is important event in a medical history
