Good afternoon to all. I am so thankful to get this opportunity to provide my view so human is a best and unique creature of god in the modern world we are always improving our technology and its a good implementation for human cloning we can even more research on human being like the organ generation process any string operation transforming data from natural brain to artificial brain but every more resulting in a sore so if we develop our human cloning for the human welfare and good then it is too great if we utilise in any illegal process then war will happen actual human power may be reduced so human cloning should not be stopped but we can investigate that process in a particular way so that it is utilised only in welfare way.

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.

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.

Cloning Human will take away that Unique identity from us which GOD has given to us.history is there telling us that whenever human tried to play with nature,it caused nothing but the Destruction only.Apart from that i would like to say that O.K. there are pro's of cloning like we can find cure to diseases and organ transplantation etc..but think what threat it will pose to the national and individual security.What if you come to know that the person who is running your country is just a puppet or clone sent by enemies..what if police arrests you for a crime which your clone did.So all i want say is giving life and bring it to existance is GOD's sovergine right,we shouldn't play with it.

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.

Researches and ethics are always counter to each other but it is also true that both are important for the betterment of the society. As on the research on human cloning, my point is that it should not be banned but it should be done by keeping ethics in mind. It is true that to clone the human is as to interfere in the the work of God, but we can not stop researching by keeping this in mind. Research is always necessary and human clone will definitely give a new light ot research. We can't forget that Gallelio was sacrificed on the point to interfere in god's work but later it was found that he was right.
Scientist should work keeping all points in mind.

Well after listening to all the comments given above I would like to add that science i the one which is opening the mysteries of the nature & there are many instances right since start whenever human play with nature some thing or other disaster has occurred.there is no harm in inventing things or solving mysteries but to work againt th nature is not correct.for ex nowadays along with cloning one thing which everybody looking at is age lift .to stop sign of ageing .This is against the nature .This will have dangerous consequences.and also these technology are a boon but they come to the hands of terrorist or so then they can create destruction

Friends cloning has its own advantages & disadvantages.
Advantage is that our government it self-promotes to preserve the stem cells at the time of birth, So that at any time if a person loses any part of his body it could be replicated, but when this goes into replicating human beings completely it leads to disadvantages, like taking advantages of person who have been born naturally to exploit things of him and even if a replica is done (for a dead) people will not have mindset to accept him as he is, will have a thought of alien-like feel, so things lie on how we use it and see it and also researchers must be done on good basis.

In my opinion cloning should not be permitted. Nature has created us and we will die according to our life span. But by cloning one's form may not die in the stipulated time that is one may become immortal. As a consequence it will lead to population explosion. Secondly if the cloning technology is acquired by the terrorists like Osama bin laden, Doud Ibrahim, laskar-e toiba group then it will be difficult to stop them from destroying the whole world. The security of any country will be in danger. Hence every country shake hands against cloning and come together to take stern steps against it.

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.
