Cloning is the future of medical science

Cloning is one of the most controversial subjects and will be even more as time goes on. Cloning is the future of medical science and it will one day save the lives of many people. With success, scientists will be able to clone humans and use their organs people who need organ transplants. People will be able to clone their loved ones and clone thier pets. Ranchers will be able to clone their prize winning bulls, and clone cattle for beef.
This breakthrough sounds good in a lot of ways but many people believe it is morally wrong and that only God should create animals. People in need of organ transplants will die because it is their time to go. If it isn't time, then an organ from an uncloned donor will be given to them.
Dolly was the first cloned sheep. She lived to be 7 years old when she was put to sleep. She had a kidney disease that usually affects older sheep. This experiment proved that clones do not live as long as the un-cloned. Of course this will be perfected over time.
Not only will people be able to clone for personal gain, it will bring in significant amount of money into the economy. An estimated cost of cloning a human is more than $1.7 Million US dollars. Not many people have that much money to spend, nor will they ever make that much in a lifetime. An average family does not make more than $50,000 dollars a year. The rich will be able to afford this and the average person will just have to wait and rely on luck or God for organ donors from un-cloned people.
Do clones have a mind, a soul or emotions? Or will they be in a vegetative sleep and is that so wrong? Is it really up to God to create life and to take it? Or is it that God wouldn't allow it to be possible if He want us evolve technologically?
Personally, I can't picture the idea of taking vital organs from someone we created just for that purpose. Each clone was once a child and in my eyes that is the same as abortion.

Wow... Quite thoughtful of you.
I can see your point is, so I personally am not support cloning for various reasons. Indeed, I can understand where you are from..Posted 11-13-2008 at 02:39 AM by KarissaMann05
