The billions of cells that presently make up a human being descend from one single cell, the fertilized egg. Today, there is a new way of creating life, cloning. Cloning can mean anything from the growing of healthy cell tissue to replacing damaged tissue in the human body or it can be re-creating a human being from cells captured from another human being. Is man's creation of a genetically identical copy of an original human cell wrong? Is it ethically or morally wrong to create life to heal, save a life or to make a child? I believe, even though there are some awesome advantages to cloning and it sounds like a wonderful scientific break though, it is both medically and ethically wrong.
             Many people are for human cloning for many reasons. The most powerful advantage of human cloning is that defective genes would not cause any more illness in human beings. Cloning might be the cure for the most powerful diseases such as cancer, AIDS, diabetes, stroke, etc. Cloning of cell tissue can take a good cell from existing tissue and grow cloned tissue from it, therefore damaged cells can be replaced. Cloning could also help the infertile have children that are truly their own and not being able to have children wouldn't be a problem anymore in a marriage. The biotechnology company, ACT, already has research that proves that human cloning for the creation of child is possible. Using and existing human being for the growing of cloned tissue or manipulating cell structure to make the perfect healthy baby can actually be done today.
             I agree that there are medical benefits to human cloning, however, there are also major drawbacks in that in man's scientific research he has stepped into moral and ethical issues that are beyond him. Scientists talk about farming body parts, which means that they would make human clones and if the original cloned person has some kind of problem with his/her body parts (heart, lungs, e...
