Cloning

Cloning

                Have you ever thought about giving birth to your diseased mother or father? Probably not, well actually there are several people out there that want this to actually be possible. It’s called cloning, a cloning method that gives a daughter the ability to bring up their diseased child, sister, mother, or even their father. How would you feel about raising your father and having them think that they are actually your son, when in reality he is your father?

                I strongly disagree with this action, I think it is wrong and isn’t the way life should go. If we could just recreate someone ever time they passed away our world would be way over populated, but even worse we could have people out there recreating Hitler. Maybe even an army of Hitler’s. If scientists continue testing on how to make a clone and actually succeed it could become a major problem. If people have the money to purchase a clone they will, or they may even accept letting people experiment with their bodies just to receive millions of dollars. For example many super models have been interviewed and agreed to get paid to give away their genetic copy so that more of them could be made. We already have an image of how a beautiful person should look; now what if you put cloning into the mix. Many people will want to have this stereotypical beautiful child, and will pay for the genetic copies of super models, or even ask for their child to have certain features, because all will be possible.

                Besides for that type of cloning there is a method of cloning that I actually agree with, it’s not cloning the whole entire human body, but parts of the human body. These parts can be used for heart transplants, along with any other type of organ. Why do I agree with this type and not the other? Well, because we are already able to do this from other people who are willing to give away their organs to another person who is in need. For example my grandma was on a waiting list for about a year to get a new lung; she didn’t make it because she was unable to get that lung in time. Now if cloning a lung back then was possible, she might still be alive. It’s saving a life that is already living, not creating new lives of individuals that where genetically put together.

                Many clone scientists make up several different definitions of cloning to try to complicate the system, since testing on cloning has been banned in several states they decided to create different more humane ways to clone, so that states will only ban one way and then they can continue to do testing. Really there isn’t much of a difference in between the definitions, they are still killing clones that went wrong or had some kind of mutation. It’s almost like they are experimenting with one’s life and when they fail to create it correctly they just stop it from further growth. I hope I opened up your eyes on how cloning can be a good thing, and also a bad thing. Who knows how the future will end up, we will just have to wait and see.
