Introduction
The twentieth Century saw the most amazing developments in the field of science and technology, with the likes of and Louis Pasteur and Albert Einstein bestowing the mankind with their extraordinary inventions and discoveries. But the concept of cloning, even though very contemporary, has left the world more surprised than it ever was. Cloning is a recent breakthrough in medical science, which has completely changed the whole concept of biotechnology. The story starts when a group of British scientists cloned Dolly (the most famous sheep in the history of the world), in 1997.
According to surveys, 6% of North Americans favor the carrying out of research in the area of cloning, and more than 80% are against this. However, 71% favor continuing the research and the technique. With regard to the production of medicines, transplants, and other medical benefits, this would involve, without any doubt, the cloning of human beings (Rael, 2001).
Cloning like other fields of knowledge has its pros and cons.
Basically it is man's perpetual ambition to gain power to rule the world and its creatures; be they men or animals. With the human cloning technology there is a fear of beginning of this mad race. Therefore, knowledge gained for useful purpose is a blessing but it must be used responsibly.
Body
Human cloning can produce positive effects on the world. A good consequence of cloning is that may further the medical world by being able to clone organs, clone cells to replace defected or damaged ones, eliminate genetic disorders, and so much more.
“The human body, that the organ is placed in, will not reject the organ because it was made from exact cells in their bodies. Using the cloning technology, medical science would now be able to unlock the mysteries of cancer and its......
