Cloning, the scientific reproduction of cells, could be a helpful discovery for the world, yet it may be the most disastrous, one eventually destroying all of mankind as we know it. Researchers are devoting much time to studying the cloning human beings, while animal cloning is currently underway in the United States. Already, pigs, mice, and adult sheep have been successfully cloned.
             (www.Humancloning.org/all the.htm) There is no doubt that many problems involving the technological and ethical sides of this issue will become worldwide. They will be impossible to avoid, but the idea of cloning humans is one that we should accept as a possible reality. Some scientists argue that human cloning research will be a benefit to society because it helps them understand how to treat diseases. However, many people think that human cloning research is wrong and could be used irresponsibly. Although it can be beneficial, human cloning is dangerous because of the immense risks to the human family.
             There are two possible ways that we can clone humans. The first way involves splitting an embryo into several halves and creating numerous new individuals from that embryo. The second method of cloning a human involves taking cells from an existing human being and cloning them, creating other individuals that are identical to that person.
             As Congress battles the issue, the debate is becoming more controversial. Cloning, a large issue right now, will be even bigger and more important in years to come. A law was passed in 1992, the Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification

             Services (DHHS) looks into all the information and experiments that goes on in the laboratories.(McCuen, 1998) The most critical question is will we be knowledgeable enough to perform these proc...
