Cloning



Cloning is creating a genetic copy or replica of cells, tissues, embryos, and genes of an
already existing organism. And finally medicine with the help of technology has developed its
most extreme product, the human being! Some say that it is a big step towards immortality, while
some claim that it is something unnatural. I do not know what the majority thinks, but I
definitely disagree with the idea of human cloning. I think that a human cannot be cloned
because human cloning involves many risks.

Firstly, why would anyone want to clone himself/herself? Is it because they think that
they are of great importance for this world or humanity, or because they want to live longer and
longer and try to be immortal? Whatever the reason is, in my opinion, human cloning is against
the nature of human beings, because we are unique. As a result of human cloning, human beings
with the dream of being immortal will be moved away from their uniqueness and naturalness.

Besides being unnatural, I think human cloning is also unethical. We should also look
from the point of view of the clones. As a clone, he/she will be the copy of someone and it wont
be him/her who has decided to be cloned. What about the clones feelings and rights? In my
opinion cloning is a form of slavery which may cause infraction of clones rights and may hurt
their feelings. Who wants to be clone anyway?

If human cloning became possible what would be the outcome of it? Basically I think
human cloning is against the laws of nature. There is a well organized balance of nature and
human cloning may damage this wonderful balance since the number of people would increase
due to cloning and the natural resources would not be able to meet the needs of the increasing
population.

Also we cannot be sure if cloning technology will be used in favor of people. What if this
technology falls in the hands of people with evil intentions? Then, it will be a threat for all of us.
There is no way to know the exact intentions of the scientists or the people who want to clone
human beings. And as long as we cannot be sure about peoples real thoughts, we cannot claim
that human cloning is always in favor of people.

In conclusion, because human cloning is unnatural, unethical and we cannot know the
real intentions of people who are in this process, in getting clones of themselves or cloning
others, I am against human cloning. We are as human beings- unique and I think we should
save our uniqueness, although technology tries to offer us some features such as immortality.
