Cloning. Ethical or no?

Yes, genetic cloning should be okay on all species because if humans are capale of cloning organs- for example- then cloning can be used to save millions of lives, rather than the inefficient Organ Donor List. Cloning human beings is also an alternative to infertility- thus giving every woman an equal chance at motherhood. Animals can be replicated to be used as testing vessels, which would be much more ethical than running tests on naturally born animals. However, there are some reasons people are oppposed to human cloning. By creating identical genes, we would be reducing the amount of variety there is in the human species. It also can be considered unethical because some people's religious views would cause them to believe that by replicating humans, we are taking over that job that is supposed to be God's. In addition to this, people think it may be putting human rights at stake, and due to how far we as a country have come, it would not bode us well to jeopardize our global standing in human rights.

The process of human cloning would be the same as that used on Dolly, the sheep. The nucleus would be removed from a cell and inserted into an egg whose nucleus had already been removed. Then, researchers would use electric shock to simulate cell division and then would be transferred to a host uterus. Once developed properly and completely (the same way a natural baby would develope) and would eventually be given birth to. The new baby would have a combination of the DNA from the surrogate mother and the egg.
