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.

All matter is composed of basic elements. Science calls them enzymes, atoms and molecules. Certain molecules react in a particular way to produce certain reactions.

This is an undisputed fact.

If in a possibility that, man can ever make those molecules behave exactly as NATURE did it in its course of billions of years of evolution, then is it not a wonder?

Clonning is not a boon or curse in itself. It all comes down to who uses it for what and how it is recieved by the masses.

Clonning of humans is a far distant goal yet to be realized. As a science may not be banned in my opinion.

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.

There should not be any sort of ban on cloning. Cloning human beings does not harm any one rather can help world a lot. If all the scients say Newton or Darwin would have been cloned then this world would have been today in new era. Nature too has provided enough evidences that cells are totipotent as well as pluripotent. We human are just using these potential provided by nature.and remember invention requires sacrifice. So it may feel that cloning too have drawbacks..but its just a matter of fact that how much you love technology and up to what extent you can go to get it.

Yes, human cloning should be banned because of several disadvantages like,

1. This research process need huge amount of money and man power.

2. Due to cloning there is exploitation to mankind and others.

3. There are chances that the clone developed be immature or created with defect which can harm both to society as well as to the clone himself.

4. And second if that clone development then what is the guarantee that he can live life without any defects in future and if its death span is early than the one who would have adopted that clone will also get hurt emotionally.

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.

I think cloning researches should not be banned because clones can prove to be great tools in medical technology and curing dangerous diseases like cancers. It has got great potential. Risks are their in every field which does'nt mean that we should stop experimenting. Only thing is that it should be carried out carefully and protocols should be out of reach of wrong people. Cloning has got nothing to do with challenging gods creations. It is just one of the good steps taken by scientists to improve human health, environment and other biological parameters.

Hi friend, according to my point of view human cloning should be band. It having many reason but I will give the priority to this one. Playing with the law of nature is not good for human Bing. If we think scientifically then also we found its not right because if any thing wrong happen with the cloning then negative result will be more dangerous then we can expect. Let us take an example we invented nuclear bomb which having lots of use in practical life but its demerit is put us in fear. So we have to awakward before taking any step toward human cloning.

Hi, this is Madhan. In my concern, we should ban human cloning. It makes everything against the nature. God only has the rights to give a birth to human. If we use cloning to produce a human their behaviour is fully different from the original. It makes lot of problem in the human nature. In the beginning one goat was cloned, it is name was dolly, most of the nations rises their hands against this experiment. It should make our natural earth becomes architectural. Cloning is a good invention but it should be banned to avoid controversies. Thank you

Hi this is Bhanu. According to my view cloning is a process in which the appearance of the person can be copied but not the habits and abilities. What I mean to say is we can clone the great scientists like Einstein, newton and etc. But we cannot control the mindsets of the cloned persons. That is a cloned Einstein may become a terrorist, rather than becoming a scientist. In this case the pride of original Einstein gets damaged.

I agree with some of them who said that a research without implementation is of no use. So cloning should be banned.
