Should Research on Human Cloning be banned?

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 one of the precious achievement of the human beings. But it gives motivates to the new of technology of science.

HI. Cloning has both advantage and disadvantage. Its only depends on how we use. By cloning the damaged part is replaced. So many living beings get benefit, at the same time most of them used against people. So we banned only who is going to use the wrong way.

Cloning is a miracle in human research's. It should be appreciated. But this invention may cause may fluctuations in the natural cycle. The population can be increased enormously and the moral values will be threatened I mean that if there is a clone for Micheal Jackson the people won't recognize his greatness as they think he will be always their to entertain them for ever which is a very bad situation that leads to the loss of human emotions and relationships.

what i think is even if we clone newton or einstein , the mental abilities of the clones will be different from the original ones.we can reproduce only their physical resemblance.Even if we produce a clone with same mental abilities , what about the experience gained by great scientists during their research? Clones can't have that.....
So, a clone cannot replace a person.....I think Cloning can be used in some fields of science.....

Has there been any biological research that hasn't imposed any threat on the society or the environment? No. Cloning is just something bigger. Research is necessary but under strict limits and supervision. If Cloning ever comes to existence and clones start to become uncontrolled, it will be a big problem. Biological weapons are already causing so many diseases and are being used inspite of the ban upon them.

Someone said if it were not possible in God's will, it wouldn't have ever been known to man. There are many things which have proved to be disadvantageous to man in almost all the ways. So this logic cant be correct.

So the conclusion is although research is necessary for progress of mankind, cloning is something which in wrong hands will surely be a threat.

Yes, cloning should be banned.

I think we have no need to bring Newton and Einstein back but want to have such minds. And people who can make researches on cloning have newtons mind already.

The 2nd thing is that we all know its advantages and disadvantages. But today bad people are more active and almost everybody is corrupt. They do not miss a single chance to misuse new inventions. Very few of us are here who will be aware of the technology and use it for mankind because we all are busy in our life and people who work for it have to always work slowly following all government rules but bad people never miss to use scientist's effort in every possible bad way at any second because they don't need any rule to do it. Thus through such researches we just help the evils to emerge out and effect the mankind.

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.

As a student of science I cannot say to ban cloning. Because from the research of cloning a new direction of science will be invented by which we can terminate various deathly disease. But the application of cloning should be stopped. Because if cloning is not banned every person in this world will be immortal which is not acceptable.

Everything has its own good and bad,when it comes for cloning it has it's own good because some failed parts of the body can be cloned and replaced...and it has its own bad sinse for being missusing the technology...
