My Thought about Cloning

When I was young, I had already heard something about cloning. I thought it was fantastic and fun. There would be “I” as many as possible. They could help me do a lot of things, no matter good or bad. They would just obey the rules that I had ordered.

Now I think I was ridiculous, when I was young. However, as far as time goes by, high technology develops into a high level. It could even do “what ever you want” to some extent. in my opinion, if we had done a lot of things which break rules of nature, we would be punished by the nature. As a result, I disagree human cloning.

There are certain disadvantages to cloning human beings. First of all this will affect the sense of individuality that people often hold on to, which will then affect genetic variation. Second, because clones are being artificially developed, they may not be considered proper citizens and then be treated worse than the rest of us. Third, cloning human beings will have significant impacts on our society and affect us psychologically.

      There is no doubt that cloning research accelerates the development of medical science and technology. We could clone organs through stem cloning to help people who are suffering from diseases.

      To conclusion, there are both advantages and disadvantages in human cloning. In my point of view, we should have a cautious and proper attitude towards human cloning. My suggestion is to have a trail run to see if “organ cloning”, not “human cloning”, can work. Let's hope cloning will do us more benefits in the future.
