Should Cloning Be Banned? For centuries many people have always wondered what it would be like for a human being to be cloned. Although it is morally, spiritually, and ethically wrong to clone a human being, others may think that it could be the greatest thing to happen to the human race and could benefit us in the future.
There are two sides to this topic, one side says that cloning could benefit us, it could benefit us in our health and possibly discover cures for certain diseases. The other side is against cloning mainly because of fear and their religious beliefs. Something we should ask ourselves would have to be, do we ban cloning in general or to only allow cloning for our benefit? Banning cloning in general would have to mean that

Morally, most people would say it is wrong for a man to create someone in a laboratory because that is not the way God intended for anyone to be born. Just because someone is capable of cloning parts of DNA and turning it into an exact copy of someone else, it doesn’t mean that they should. Cloning isn’t what everyone thinks it is, it’s so much more than just being an exact copy of someone, yes clones could benefit us in some ways but those certain ways are just very cruel for them. Most people are all for clones just to harvest their organs, it would be inhumane to make an exact copy of someone just to kill them for their organs so someone else can live. Who’s to say that their organs will work just the same as ours, no one would know that for sure unless it actually happens, and what if their organs don’t function the same that will just be putting others in danger and making them even more sick. Everyone has this stereotype of clones, many think that they have no emotions and that they act like robots, which could be true but there’s a very small chance of that happening. For all we know, clones could actually have emotions just like us, if they were aware of their surroundings they would most definitely notice that half of society wouldn’t be as accepting as they might’ve hoped for. This specific situation can lead to arguments about …show more content…
It puts the human race in danger physically, emotionally and mentally. Religion has many reasons to be against this process mainly because clones would be made by humans instead of God, which is the main issue to them, also because they wouldn’t be considered as humans. Ethically it would be putting patients in danger who decide to donate their DNA, also they could end up regretting their decision and might not want a clone who looks exactly like them, plus you’ll never know what kind of intentions someone might have towards their own clone if they do end up regretting their decision.. Also something could go wrong during the cloning process which could put the clone or the patient in physical danger since the technology used isn’t safe to use and hasn’t been approved yet. Clones might also commit crimes, and use the non clone identity. Morally, we all know that a man creating another man is completely wrong. It’s bad enough that man himself is trying to be like God, just because we can do certain things that doesn’t mean we should do them because we know it’s the wrong thing to do. It’s God’s job to create humans the way he wants, he’s the reason we’re all here, we all have a purpose. Would clones even know the difference between right or wrong, would they even have brains? These are some questions we should ask ourselves and truly sit down to think about if clones are truly necessary. Since
