Cloning is a topic that many people disagree with. Scientists think cloning should be allowed because it can lead to great things. On the other hand, those who are more religious argue that cloning should not be allowed because it violates the Bible and God's plan. Although cloning can be seen as a violation of human and religious rights, cloning should be allowed because it can be very beneficial to humans, whether by bringing back a loved one or helping lead to a medical breakthrough. Cloning should be allowed because it can benefit the human race. One of the main reasons why cloning should be allowed is because cloning, for some people, is an ethical way to reproduce. Additionally, for some people cloning may be the only way to reproduce. Some people may not even be able to have children because they are infertile. Alun Anderson, editor of the science magazine New Scientist and former research biologist, discussed the possible benefits of cloning in one of his articles. How about the case of a woman who desperately wants to have a child but finds herself sterile? Current choices are limited and already involve complicated medical procedures. The woman may be able to obtain an egg from a donor, have it fertilized in vitro with her partner's sperm and then implant it in her womb. The girl's genetic heritage would be half that of another woman. Isn't it a kinder, perhaps even more natural, alternative to allow the woman to give birth to a clone of herself? (Anderson 60) Additionally, some people may have a disability or even an illness that they would not want to pass on to their children. Anderson goes on to comment. Let's take the case of a couple who went to a genetic counselor and discovered that... middle of paper... cloning should be allowed because it can help all of humanity. and can lead to many positive results in medical research.
