Cloning once seemed like a science fiction, but in the science today it seems like it’s possible. Dolly the sheep was born 1996. She was the first cloned animal to ever be alive. She had major health problems and only lived for 6 years. This made a big change in today 's science. Dolly the sheep was part of reproductive cloning. Which is very different from therapeutic cloning. Therapeutic cloning occurs when the cloned embryos created through SCNT have been allowed to grow for a few days and then killed for their stem cells. In my opinion, I don’t think cloning should be allowed unless it 's for a good cause.
Dolly the sheep was the first animal to be cloned, but it took them 277 attempts and 13 surrogate mothers. Dolly also had health problems, and didn’t get live long. Cloning should only be used for important things like cloning cells to help diagnose people. For example, cloning cells can cure cancer and it can help the military people who lost limbs and body parts. We shouldn 't be wasting our time experimenting on unnecessary things, and start focusing on what 's important
Therapeutic cloning can help with cloning cells, but the only bad thing about it is that it lets the embryo grow for a while and then is killed to use it cells, which

Many Americans argue that both cloning methods are taking advantage of the way we reproduce, and that it manipulates the meaning of life. Giving life should not be just something science can come and make. It 's human life, yes I understand that cloning can help in many possible ways such as, medical issues, producing, and many more, but the fact that it can damage life itself. It 's just a big risk that we are not willing to make. For example, what good will cloning do if many scientists will not use it for medical purposes. This will just open unnecessary doors into the life of science. Overall cloning should remain illegal until it is going to be used for a good cause and not just experiments, that will harm the
