Is it ‘ok’ to clone a human?
Cloning is the process of duplicating a genetically identical organism through non-sexual means. Cloning can be done with plants animals including human, but it had been success with only plants and animals not human, since there are some argument going on about is it right or wrong to clone human (which is actually what this essay is all about). The first cloned mammal is a sheep named ‘Dolly’ in 1997.The scientists had cloned other animals, such as cows and mice. There are some discussions about cloning; some people say cloning is dangerous. In my opinion, I think cloning is ‘ok’ because it will make the huge leap of biological science knowledge and technology, it also probably have a lot other benefits on medical, since we might be able to create our spare parts for our bodies those have to be ‘genetically’ the same to be replaced in order for healing.
From my research on this particular topic, there are some reasons to support opinion that it is ‘ok’ to clone a human.
Firstly, we can create spare parts of our body incase that we lost or injured some of them, or we can produce a source of cells for the sufferings, to repair damaged part of the original body. In conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, heart attacks, where the cells which make up part of the brain, pancreas and heart stop working properly or died out. We need cloning because we can’t pass cells from a stronger and healthy person to the sufferers because the body’s immune system will attack the organ transplants from people who are not a ‘close match’, they’ll be rejected or in another word, ‘killed’. That’s why we need cloning for this because cloning will produce the ‘close match’ (actually it’s an ‘exact match’) which the spare parts can be put in the sufferer’s body without being rejected. (This kind of cloning is called, Therapeutic cloning, and it is legal to do that in UK.) For example, we can clone our Liver or Kidney for transplants.
