She finishes her story by say that cloning should only take place with careful scrutiny and lawyers of legal oversight. Then she continues on with that the same laws that now protect human rights should govern human cloning. Most people would ask, "Why do we need to clone humans"? In the first paragraph the writer states, "Human cloning might not offer great benefits to humanity, no one has yet made a persuasive case that that it would do any real harm." This is a prime example of why more studies need to be conducted before scientists move forward with such a radical idea. Granted that cloning might provide great benefits; however, most of the population is not ready to accept this concept.
