Can anybody check this? Over the past several decades, cloning has been the topic of much heated debate. The discussion begs questions of ethics, morality, legislation and technical issues as well. What are the boundaries of practical application this cutting-edge technology? I believe that cloning experiments may turn out to be an effective solution to numerous problems humankind has today. To begin with, by using cloning technique we can resurrect some species which died out or appeared to be on the brink of extinction by the fault of us, humans. Think of the blue whale, this animal is an important part of the oceanic ecosystem and its extinction, which we are direct causers, would be an irreparable loss. Furthermore, therapeutic cloning opens us great prospects in producing tissues and even entire organs that can be used to replace the injured or diseased ones. On the flip side, cloning presents us with certain concerns which cannot be neglected. For instance, the way a cloned human being would identify himself is uncertain since a human clone does not have a natural background, inherent in traditionally born people. Hence, there may arise not only psychological but also legal issues. Furthermore, the purpose of human cloning is equivocal. The lack of clear regulations on which cases should be admitted as reasonable for human cloning may lead to such objectionable phenomenon as human trafficking. And last but not least, a high deformity rate in cloned organisms makes us reflect deeply if we are ready to put down failed pet clones let alone human ones. In view of the above, currently cloning seems to be hardly applicable to humans at all. To sum up, despite all the shortcomings of the technique, we should not give up cloning experiments. It is clear that cloning has already become a significant part of scientific research. The path mankind has stepped to is full of obstacles and serious risks but when have any dangers been able to stop human beings from cognition the world? People like children tend to put their hands in the flame to find out the danger of fire. Pandora’s Box has been opened and we only have to hope that humankind will safely outgrow its infancy to become strong and wise.
