Cloning,  is  it  man  playing  god?

        Cloning  has  become  currently  one  of  the  hottest  topics  in  society  because  of  the  laboratory-produced  sheep  Dolly,  named  after  the  country  singer  Dolly  Patron.  The  birth  of  this  little  cloned  sheep  shocked  society  tremendously  and  created  many  controversial  discussions.  In  the  wake  of  this  human  cloning,  religious  leaders  all  over  the  world  have  condemned  the  action  citing  the  reason  that  it  is  playing  of  god.  However,  we  must  understand  that  we  at  the  Consortium  that  are  involved  in  this  effort  are  as  human  as  anyone  else.  There  is  almost  no  difference  between  in-vitro  fertilization  (IVF)  and  cloning,  other  than  the  fact  that  the  source  of  the  genetic  material  is  slightly  different.  Cloning  is  not  playing  of  god,  rather  it  is  a  salutary  act  which  can  fulfill  human  needs.
