There is one thing in the world today that separates us from God and that is the ability or power to create another human. Cloning not only goes against the ethics of a human being but also against the difference between God and man. There are many reasons that I feel we should not clone. While many are welcoming the new era of society with open arms, I am hiding my face in shame over the procedures that must be preformed in order to advance in technology. There are many medical advantages in the development of cloning and genetic testing, however, there are many implications as well. Of course there is a price to pay for everything, and in this case, it is the price of an embryo or should I say "person"?
             As discussed in my previous essay on abortion, I feel as though a person becomes a person as soon as it is conceived. Regardless if it is inside a woman's womb or a petri dish the genetic structure is still there and therefore a life is at stake.
             At this point, we are entering into this new era and there are a lot of unanswered questions revolving around the dependability of these new techniques and tests. As in all cases of scientific research, there is a period of trial and error. We must go through this process in order to perfect the procedures. However, this is not an element we are trying to discover. This is alterations to the human species. As we continue to advance forward, millions of people will suffer and be flushed down the drain, so to speak, as each experiment is trialed.
             Everyone is aware of what cloning is and some of the controversies it may present, but not all may know the physical side effects it may cause in a human. Human cloning is still little understood. In several experiments that have been tested on mice and pigs their life span has been considerably shorter than that of the original animal due to the inexperience of cloning. As scientists attempt to clone a human similar...
