Hi,
According to me cloning is a boon both for human race and for animals. We are not actually interfering with gods creation but making world a better place to live in. As my friend has said that if we do human cloning we will be interfering with gods creation but it would be a boon for animals, in what terms can you actually distinguish animals from that of human, in terms of intelligence?
Cloning is the production of just another copy of the same individual with same character, then how can you say that it will be harmful for human race.

Cloning is a developing field of medical science which has to be encouraged so that it can carry out wide researches that could help preventing many diseases. This could greatly reduce organ theft making organ transplantation an easy process, with less chances of rejection (due to mismatch).
But with one disadvantage even though it contributes to development of science, this may lead to confusions and emotional instability. So cloning should be restricted process done only by the government in an highly confidential way.

I totally disagree with what my friend Ruchi has pointed out in her second point that "today bad people are active and almost everybody is corrupt". World and the people living in it has not changed, it has remained the same. The difference is that earlier people were not aware about the corruption because media was not so advance.
As far as evil doing is concerned people who wants to misuse technology will go on doing their job but this does not mean that we will stop invention or research.

Hello, everyone, I think research on such topics should be encouraged.
Cloning refers to creating genetically identical copies. Therapeutic cloning can be used to cure illness or replace any organ with the help of stem cell. However if human clone are created it could raise questions on person identity as clones are genetically similar and there are people who could take disadvantage of this. Thus government should make certain rules for this and cloning should be only done by governments permission.

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.

Cloning should be banned after a certain extent. Cloning leads to more and more people which is over population. India is already running behind world number 1 China and are population is about 1,296,834,042 as far as I know. There are many effect that were to come after the process. I personally don't support it. It maybe be jaw dropping but if you actually think carefully about the consequences that will arise after the cloning process becomes main stream you would accept with me.
Thank you.
Thank you.

In my opinion, Cloning is just helped to human and Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy (or clone) of a human. The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning, which is the reproduction of human cells and tissue. It does not refer to the natural conception and delivery of identical twins. The possibility of person cloning has raised controversies. These ethical concerns have prompted several nations to pass laws regarding human cloning and its legality.

Research on clonning should be completely banned. It is just against the nature law.As we already know population is increaing tremendously and consequence the world is facing overburden. In this stage we are unable to provide all necessary needs to all. Now if we go for the human clonning, definitely we are going to kill ourselves.There will be oneday that clone will order us. It would be impossible to stop them. If we are unable to feed ourselves how we can managve them?

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.

I feel that cloning should not be banned because it can help cure disease and even deadly disease, It could help save lives and lastly it could help with many couples who do not have a baby due to inability of any one of them.
In that sense if we use to produce clone I think this couple can lead their remaining life very happily. And in this way we can also get many valuable information about cloning and also apply in many extincting animal to keep their existence.
