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.

HI friends.
Cloning is one of the Great Achievement of human beings. It gives confident to humans he also make humans artificially like a God. But Better Bane such Cloning Experiments. It is totally opposite to human law. I think it would become a problem for further. If this technology hacked by the terrorists then it become a big problem for identifying and catching. But I give keep it up to our scientists for further investigation.

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.

In my point of view the human cloning is should not be banned. Because the human cloning gives more thinking about the human body research and give the ideas about more problem. If we use the human cloning for good things we have lot of benefits and using human cloning we solve lot of the problems. It give the solution for cancer and AIDS. If we not use the wrong purpose the human cloning surely give the lot of benefits. So human cloning should not be banned.

As per me, research on cloning should not be banned because to do research on a particular thing is not an evil. But to implememt it, is objectionable i.e. after researches scientists should not start cloning creatures.

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..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.

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.

If God did not want people cloned then why did God allow women to give birth to indentical twins? They are clones, same DNA. God would never give man the knowledge to clone if God did not want science to move forward. Stem cell research will help provide cures and better lives for future generations.

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.
