Semester 9 Essay – prompt # 4: Since the cloning of the sheep Dolly, there has been much debate over whether or not human beings should be cloned. Many people feel this is a violation of the natural order of things and that all research in the area of human cloning should be banned. Others feel that this is a natural progression of science and human evolution and that research in the area of human cloning should be priority. How do you feel about this issue? Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.

               Imagine yourself  waking up to get ready to go to your work but  instead of your own self go to a dead job you have a exact carbon copy of yourself to go out to the job that you don’t really like.  Cloning is something that has been on many scientist minds for decades, having the ability to make an exact replica of the human being is seen as the breakthrough of the science world. The process in which an organism is replicated to make another copy is called cloning which by some people’s point of views is ageist the law of nature and it’s what god would not want to happen.

       Hollywood has token the ideal of cloning and used it into several movies such as Gatca, and the island. These movies have both depicted a world which humans make another copy of themselves purely to harvest them to live longer. Some bad things with cloning would be if the person that is being cloned had a mental illness that illness would also be replicated to the clone and that clone would have the same life expectance of the ordinal person. This could be seen a big step back for the people who want to clone people. According to a website called buzzlewebsite another reason why cloning would be bad is “There are many villains in society who would want to disrupt peace and order for their selfish motives. What if these people are able to get scientists to clone Hitler or someone who had a disruptive mind set? These dangerous leaders would come alive and with weapons of mass destruction available today unleash hell on us. Cloning humans will never let the population on earth attain balance. This will lead to depletion of natural resources, places to live and put stress on the ecosystem. This would lead to more fights between people and countries for precious resources like water, coal and food to sustain life.” Having another Hitler just seem very horrible because we would have another world war 3 but with nuclear weapons and that would mean that the world would be at great jeopardy at being destroyed.

            Cloning is something that is still being worked on as we speak and should not be allowed to be used because it is disturbing the natural life cycle of life. If people do not die we will end having a huge surplus of people and no way of feeding them. That could simply lead to a war for the world’s natural sources. So in my personal opinion I think that cloning is a very horrible thing because it goes against the natural law where one person dies and another person lives. Think about the natural order of things before you decide to go and get cloned.
