             Cloning
            
             Did we go to far?
            
             The idea of cloning in the eighties required multiple reproduction of specialized
            
             cells. Even then, the possibility of cloning was impossible. Recently, scientists cloned a
            
             lamb, simply by replicating the cell in the skin tissue. The success of cloning a lamb
            
             gives us endless possibilities of human cloning.
            
             One important question is the individualism of the clone. The clone and the
            
             individual are identical but are now living two different lives. This is unfair because the
            
             clone would now have an identity or a family. This technology is too new therefor can
            
             bring about many controversies. Whether we are Cloning plants, animals, or human, it is
            
             morally wrong to play the role of a creator. Not only is cloning immorally wrong, but
            
             there are many bad things of having such a technology available.
            
             Humanity has always feared chaos and destruction. Cloning can open doors to
            
             catastrophe, such as, surplus, safety hazards, and low values. If cloning were legalized,
            
             then one possible effect would be over population. Laws of Nature states that each
            
             individual has a fate and a cycle. By cloning, we are intervening with nature's cycle, and
            
             this can cause chaos and disorder. Like not knowing who is who, stealing, finacial
            
             problems with credit, and problems even with schooling," like sending my clone to
            
             school and doing my work while I sit at home and do what ever I want". Our country is
            
             well overpopulated, and cloning of humans can only contribute to this problem. Besides
            
            
            
             overpopulation, there is also a question of safety. Is it safe to eat cloned food? We
            
             neglect the possibilities of harm because we are completely overwhelmed by this
            
             technology that we forget the hazards of cloning. The safety of the food is important to
            
             the health of Am...
