The biological technology has developed so rapidly that we
can hardly imagine what breakthrough would be like made I the next decade. We
have known the creatures much more than ten years ago. Cloning, known as an
application of the scientific findings in life science, has always been focused
by the public. The issue of human cloning is frequently discussed about by many
biologists as well as politicians. As far as I am concerned, human cloning
should be completely abolished. Firstly, it is very risky to do so and we cannot
guarantee that the human can be cloned successfully. If not, the “human” that
have been produced by cloning may be very strange in shape. If it could think
as a human and has emotion in its mind, some great moral problems may occur.
Secondly, even if a man is successfully produced in the process of cloning,
although everything of him has no difference from a normal human being, he
knows that he is a clone person and share exactly the same DNA with someone
else. He may not think of himself as a real human morally. Then some social
problems might occur if there were too many clone men. For example, the thumb
scanning security system may fail to work because two men share the same thumb
feature. However, although human cloning should be abolished, the research of
cloning animals should continue in order to find some better cures of human
diseases and make development in organ transplantation.
