HUMAN CLONING (The Benefits) The biological definition of a clone is an organism that has the same genetic information as another organism or organisms (“Cloning, 1997). Is cloning the gateway to the future or the door to disaster? For this definition and from information about the science behind cloning on cloning, it seems ethical. However this statement ignores information about how we can misuse cloning and what consequences occur when the procedure is unsuccessful. Cloning should not be used until it is perfected. It is doubtful however that we will allow cloning to be misused. and most people probably have this same opinion on cloning, but their lack of knowledge on cloning, or their beliefs the cloning would be misused, is the reason for the differences of opinion. Thus, an elaboration on the history, techniques, ethics, and reasons for researching the technology of cloning is necessary. The first thing that must be cleared up is what is cloning and what a clone is. A clone is an organism derived asexually from a single individual cutting, bulbs, tubers, fission or parthenogenesis reproduction (An unfertilized seed, ovum or spore”, 1997) Sometimes cloning is successful, but what about the ones that we don’t hear about. Cloning is currently a technology that many people could use. It is believed the it will become more popular as prices for the technique decrease, and as the use of cloning becomes increasingly popular. That is we humans consider cloning acceptable technology, and that we would like to use for the twenty-first century. Cloning has progressed so quickly few of us know if we should be even fooling with this once the pros outweigh the cons.
