Cloning: Right or Wrong

I just got done reading the comments most of these comments are mean i thoght this was a very well written paragraphs. I am a highschool teacher and if i was to grade this i would give this an a. I can tell that there was alot of effort in this article and that is something that i can very much appreciate. Good job.

All that aside...If scientists continue this experimenting, they will start cloning human beings, and if that information for doing this gets out to the wrong people, crimes such as kidnapping to clone people would scare us all to leave our houses in the morning. Think about it. If anyone got a hold of our DNA, they could use it to clone us and steal our identity. Maybe I'm just thinking way too far out of the box, but it is possible, right?

Cloning is wrong. If we continue cloning, we will eventually destroy the world. For one, cloning costs a LOT of money. It will drain the country of it's money. Secoundly, the clones, if something goes wrong, they could rebel and then they could kill us. They could also come out deformed and they could look like something out of a frankinstein movie. They could be too short or too tall. They could be too fat or too skinny. If they are identical twins, we would loose our uniqueness. There would be tons of clones walking around. They would be duplicates of people that already exist. Nothing can change this. They will be the identical twins of YOU! Do you want thousands of identical you's walking around the world? Do you want your BFF inviting your twin to a sleepover? Do you want to be lost in a sea of you's? Do you want your friend to get mad at you if you invite their clon to your house for a skateboard party? Think about that when you choose. You can contact me at . Remember, think bbefore you choose!

You people are hilarious.
Thanks for the laugh.

its right !!

I do not think cloning is wrong but we must remember that clones are people to.
Taking body parts from clones is steeling and is very rood.

Cloning shouldn't be done. I don't agree with it. It even says in the Bible that people can't create other people so ask yourself this question: Is a clone a human? Would they go to heaven? So, I don't think cloning should be done

we should not

human cloning can lead to many problems and benefits. cloning human parts like organs would help the person live but in the long run if everyone started doing it our death tole would decrease and our population would increase which would cause much more problems to our environment(isnt the world supposed to be balanced isnt death part of keeping that balance?).on the other hand cloning tigers and lions would save them which i think would be great it would give us a chance to correct our mistake.also couldnt cloning be used as a weapen making soldiers to fight our battles from what we know of the world we try to use any power over another we can(im not thinking about just tomorrow im thinking many years in the future but the steps we take now are what we become in the future right). would the clones have the freedoms and the respect that a real human gets? i think not. cloning would make our lives alot easier thats all( think about this line).how about f**k cloning and put a limit on how many babys we can make so we dont f**k the world and maybe then our specie will survive longer.cloning should only be done on animals to help our environment that we are destroying, to give our grand grand children a chance to see the world as we saw it. sorry i aint to smart of a dude but even i can see this being wrong. the cloned solider part plz don't be like the government wouldnt allow that why give them the chance.(funny)i think we should get chips implanted in us aswell soo if im ever lost they'll be able to find me yaay right.

Cloning has so many benefits, more than negative ones, and also stronger ones. The only reasons that a properly cloned human would be discriminated against are because a large group of people prefer to only accept and take in what's normal to them. What's normal is only a point of view. In Nazi Germany, anti-semetism was normal, because most people were anti-semetic, but that doesn't make it right. The belief that God created everything, and that he created man in his image, surely that means that he made us to be like him? Life is full of hints, and it just takes a lttle common sense to see them. Before the Noah's Ark, Adam's direct descendents didn't see the hints that they were to be good to everyone and that it brings everyone happiness. If they had accepted eachother in the first place, they wouldn't have all died. Back to the 'man in God's image' point, it basically means that humanity will inevitably endeavour to create things, and make them work well, and to seek betterment for everyone. For this last point to happen, people need ambition. However, the 'normal' people constantly attack ideas that could change things. Christianity is one of the oldest religions, yet science is even older. All the miracles I can think of that have been performed can be re-enacted by science. I don't mean anything nasty toward religion now, I am simply finding loopholes which any open minded person would consider looking through and then see the real light, not this edited version of what Jesus might have spoken that most the anti-cloning people happen to believe. The truth is, cloning doesn't contradict religion, and it is beneficial toward everyone so long as it is kept within boundaries, such as producing super armies, and so long as it's used for good. Remember, it was christianity that kept us in the dark ages. If they didn't happen, because everything science like was considered witchcraft, the world would technologicaly 800 years ahead of where we are now. Space. Most likely intergalactic travel. Cloning without any hitches, surgery to go with it that could repair any damage done, much longer lives due to genetic engineering, and we would have enough space to sustain ourselves and be brave and explorers again. Back to this mundane level of cloning where people are saying ' NOOOO lets NOT clone because we'll be racist to what comes out' and 'od doesn't want people to be the same.' Natural selection clearly points out that the creatures with the best genes will survive in the end, and that life tries to turn out an animal with the best genes. Human evolution is destined to create a race where we are all interbreeding, and the best of what is made survives, so humanity is destined to all end up clones of eachother. And there are no problems anywhere to do with therapeutic cloning (cloning tissues, organs) that can't be solved by simply comparing the very large side of benefits, long and short term, with the superficial side that it's 'just wrong.' Science is right, and so long as people that have been subdued by the illusion of normality don't become leaders in it, it won't collapse. Besides, most the bad hype about cloning comes froms films where film-makers have created holes in it, twisting the ideals to create problems that would only exist in a twisted world, to entice people into watching it. Stem cells aren't people, foetuses don't have enough synapses to even come close to being conscious or having a personality, (besides the genes which will negate their natural dispositions) and abortion is wrong only unless all morally positive options have been exhausted, and that the abortion will benefit everyone in the long term. A baby born to a 14 year old would certainly not receive the correct up bringing to turn out as one of the best of humanity. I would like to see any argument I couldn't win that isn't against some blind fanatic who believes only the religion that they've been fed from a child.

Whoa, Whoa, okay. God is not an opinion, He's a fact. HE MADE EVERYTHING! A bunch of complicated, confusing, half-true theories vs. the Savior and Creator of the Universe. We see his wonders every day, every minute. You think it's coincidence that you're alive? Coincidence that everything just 'happens' to work the way it does? Why do we try to explain everything when the explanation is all around us, GOD!!!
