Attack of the Clones The subject and topic of cloning is very controversial. Everybody has a say on it but most are in disagreement and disbelief in the system while there is still people out there trying to push for it. “Legislatures and courts around the world are scrambling to address the legality of human cloning efforts” says Deborah Jordan in an article about the subject of cloning. This demonstrates how there is worry and high amounts of controversy when it comes to this topic and it strikes a lot of cords with a whole lot of people. This is so controversial because the consequences of something going wrong in a cloning situation could be disastrous and we just simply don’t know what would happen if we were able to clone another

People have come up with this thought that if they create a new world for themselves that it will fix every flaw in one's life. The metaverse is a parallel world that offers a blend of physical and virtual worlds. “This spatial web offers a 3D arena where you can perform the same actions you would in a non virtual atmosphere.”

Many believe cloning is a perversion of science, and some are even concerned with a real life Frankenstein situation: “Reproductive cloning… could lead to a Dr. Frankenstein’s vision of lab manufactured humans. To me this is a perversion of science” (Ford 1). Furthermore, in Frankenstein, Dr. Frankenstein detached from the world as he became obsessed with his studies, diminishing his health. A similar thing could happen to scientists who clone if they decide that they are “playing god,” which can be dangerous for the scientists and the clones. Cloning is so controversial and causes an overbearing amount of stress for it to be befitting to the human mind, as Victor Frankenstein puts it, “If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections, and to destroy… those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful… not befitting of the human minds” (Shelley 50).

The clones are continuously misunderstood as a result, their humanity disregarded, and their individuality crushed to a point where they are completely controlled by society. Though the dystopian society depicted in Never Let Me Go can be seen as simply a science-fiction invention, it could become a reality, depending on the course of science and progress. Every day, people die in need of organs that simply are not available to them. In keeping a sense of morality in scientific research, potentially harmful tests are often carried out on animals, rather than real human beings, compromising the relevance of test results in some ways. The creation of human cones could be a solution to both these issues, and as society and the scientific community evolve over time, the perspective of the majority regarding human cloning could change drastically.

Take this into consideration and acknowledge how it could impact humanity, as well as the cloned human. The advancing technology allows individuals to have the freedom of bringing their prescience about cloning humans into a reality, faster than one could imagine. One mistake could entirely deteriorate humankind more than benefit it. In today’s quickly-advancing technological age, human cloning is possible; however, it is unethical because it diminishes individuality, interferes with nature, and increases the risk of fatal failures.

I believe human cloning interferes with nature in ways humanity will not be able to handle. This source states, " This could lead to a set of problems that we have no ability to handle. " The evidence suggests that human cloning can lead to the fall of humanity, due to clones becoming soverienty. However, some people believe that human cloning can be useful, due to assisting with unlawful interests. I beleive that this will only create misuse of knowledge in trying to correct clones in right paths.

Within the last 150 years, science has given birth to telephones, television, new medical practices, nuclear weapons, and the internet, yet humans are rapacious and desire more from themselves. Because of this, mankind has found ways to consistently revolutionize every aspect of each subject and continue to do so as time progresses. Until recently, cloning was a concept taken from science-fiction but became reality in 1996 when Dolly, the sheep, was successfully cloned. From her birth, the scientific community sparked debates over the legality of cloning, and one specific debate was whether cloning oneself should be legal, along with downloading memories from the previous host. Although the technology may be available in the future, while assuming

Cloning at the gene level is acceptable and is done extensively in research areas. However, therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning raises skepticism and debate both in the general society and the scientific community.

Most people in our society, no matter what level of education that they may have, have heard of the cloning, specifically the cloning of Dolly the lamb, and have some notions regarding the idea of cloning humans. "The successes in animal cloning suggest to some that the technology has matured sufficiently to justify its application to human cloning" (Jaenisch et al.). However, not every agrees that human cloning is a something that should be put into practice (Hoskins). There generally seem to be two basic divisions on this issue: those who find it inappropriate and unethical, and those who find it a reasonable and necessary step in the progression of scientific research (Lustig).

Human Cloning Controversy “The moral issues posed by human cloning are profound and have implications for today and for future generations. Today 's overwhelming and bipartisan House action to prohibit human cloning is a strong ethical statement, which I commend. We must advance the promise and cause of science, but must do so in a way that honors and respects life” (Muhlrad, P. J., A., D. S., Cole-Turner, R., Lewis, R., BlakeMore, C., & Kuhar, M. J. 2008). Human cloning offers a lot of potential for our society, both positive or negative.
