First before I start I should define what exactly a clone is. Grolier’s encyclopedia defines a clone as a decendant produced asexually from a single animal or plant. Asexually, as in natural. What we define as cloning is no more than mechanical reproduction. We create identical copies of organisms as the means to an end. We want to genetically create the perfect pig, one that yeilds delicious meat, never gets sick and conforms to all of our needs. We want to do that over and over, thousands upon thousands of identical copies. All without looking at the concequences. Identical animals lack diversity. All of them could die from a single plauge because there is no chance of one of them having an immunity. One example of this was the Irish potatoe famine of the early 19th century. The lower class Irish relied on a single varie

As we race foward with technology and make advances without question, we have to ask ourselves; Is what we are dooing right ? When a species begins to tinker with the ways of nature it seals its own fate. Let's say for example that a child learns he or she was a clone. Cloning is taking the work of God into our own hands, and plaing God violates every religion in the book. Ethics can be twisted and warped to your liking if you can find a perfectly fine reason to do so. One thing though is, if we dont carefully analyze our actions before we make them, the conceqeces could be devestating. Unethical matters one time could become ethical later on if we could justify the need or have use of them. This of course brings us back to the orginal subject of cloning. Everything has a reason, and only God know what that is. The cloning science is exact, whereas the ethics part of it is subjective. Not only would this put hundreds or thousands out of jobs but we would revert back to days of the south where owning a person was just like having another tractor.
