Yes it should be banned. We should not play with the creature. Its completely a unethical step. Our world is running in a certain rule and regulation a protocol. If it happens then may be increased the crime.

Human cloning is deeply troubling to me Life is a creation, not a commodity. Our children are gifts to be loved and protected, not products to be designed and manufactured. Allowing cloning would be taking a significant step toward a society in which human beings are grown for spare body parts, and children are engineered to custom specifications; and that's not acceptable.

I totally agree with what most of the people here have agreed with that cloning as far as research is concerned it is ok. But at the same time it should be ensured that the research remains with in the laws framed by nature. By passing the rules made by the creator whether it is through some research or anything else always proves to be destructive and history is evidence to this fact.

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.

In my point of view the human cloning is not banned. Because it is very helpful for the most people and scientists that it gives more idea about the solution for cancer and AIDS. It solves the gean problem. It give the more idea about research. If we use the human cloning in correct way it gives us more benefits like requirement of jean, DNA, etc. It can't lose more blood so in during baby birth time it very useful to all womens. And we can use the lot of places. For example if a man was interested in cloning and he was involved in cloning it create the another man like him, the new created cloning man have the same knowledge like him. So we can use the newly created cloning man in army for our nation. So human cloning should not be banned.

Cloning have its both advantages and disadvantages but think about its benefits it will be helpful for our nation. Suppose a clone die then even we are having real person but when a person dies then how much it give us grief. So it must not banned because every time science have prove itself best and it will not make us sad. Yes I know that it is against the human law and god's creation but it will save the land of god.

According to my view, human cloning should not be banned. Because research gives a lots of experience in a particular field. Well I think that cloning should not be banned. Doing research on something is not bad provided if it is done within certain limit. Because research in any field should always be welcome. So in last I would say that it gives us new direction to research in the field of medical line.

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 scientists 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.

According to me cloning has both advantage and disadvantage, it depends on how we use it. If its used by terrorists then there will be a big disaster for our nation. So scientists can do Research only and it should not be implement for any human. On looking on to the advantage point of view great scientist can be cloned which will be a helpful one for our Nation.

Have you ever thought in the cloning of Dolly, it resulted in the death of many embryos and newborns before success achieved. (The Dolly experiment started with 277 fused eggs, of which only 29 became embryos. ) In addition, even if the human clone survived, it is not guaranteed that it would develop normally. The genetic material in cloning Dolly came from a 6 year old mammal. Then how it is possible that cloning of human will be normal.

One thing more that in human cloning, all human beings will be identical. Which means that entire human is at a risk of getting infected by the same type of pathogen. In scientific point of view, if everyone has the same type of genes they may have same kind of serious disease. Then cloning will be detrimental in terms of a great disaster.

Richard Nicholson of the British Bulletin of Medical Ethics also said that cloning research may well be sowing the seeds of our own destruction in his report. Then we also must think for a while that Human cloning transgresses the creativity of nature, because it is not via the natural reproductive process. Human cloning is creating life.

Well I feel every coin has two face, one is advantageous and the other is disadvantageous. In the case of cloning is the same. Looking into its advantages, if cloning is restricted to therapeutic cloning, it will be a great boon of science. It will help the medical field in the serious diseases like cancer or AIDS. But if it will exceed its limit to reproductive cloning, the it will hamper the national growth.

Taking the consciousness of India's population, which is itself too much, in such case if there will be such kind of cloning two people with same identity will be really a difficult task. On the other hand two people with same identity may harm either of them in case like crime or else. So I personally feel that cloning should not be extended upto the limit of creation of a human being of similar identity.
