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.

why clonning should be banned?we human accept all invention of science and tech for our betterment and progress in the same way human clonning is also for some useful purpose.computers and mobile phones are invented only for good and useful purpose but some people make wrong use of it.in the same way clonning is also dangerous if it is implemented by a wrong person but just imagine if it can bring back ur dead friend again then how it can be negative research.so i say that in the sight of development no research is disadvantageous.only the person who make wrong use of it should be punished.

According to me research on cloning is not wrong activity.Due to change in technology the research on different activities like this is required and use of these research(cloning) for self business is unethical and also unlawful.

God creats man.The nature of every man is different.Human cloning should be banned.if we dont ban human cloning ,there will be possible of some mis repres entation.research should not be banned because inovation of new idea is not good but implementation of that idea should be check .

In m opinion Human Cloning should be completely banned. I agree with the lot of people who have said that research is important but it should not be implemented. Well a research without implementation is of no use. Also some of you have mentioned that cloning can help us get some of the greatest scientists back again so that the world could be made a better place but can you all imagine if the same cloning is used for people like Saddam hussain or Osama Bin Laden what drastic effects could it have on the world. At the same time its like messing up with the work of God. If cloning becomes common each and every person would want to have their loved ones back to life which again can have more than dangerous effects.

Hi I am chandan and m in totally support of ban on cloning. Because what happend when anybody commit any crime and he will say that it was not done by him it was done by his clone. Law and governing body what will do. You will not know that the person you are talking to is either a clone or a real person then how will you react. How can you express your feeling. So it should be fully abolished.

Cloning is fact of science. Though one may consider cloning to be unethical but we should also keep in mind that with advent of science of cloning even useful organs can be cloned. And this will aid the modern surgical science. No invention is wasteful. The thing we need is properly scrutinized and ethical use of the researches so that this can be used for the betterment of human society. Thus we can conclude that NOT CLONING but the MISUSE OF CLONING IS TO BE BANNED.
