Cloning: A Therapeutic Analysis

Cloning could provide many advantages but includes many risks like the possibility to start a whole new war. An army of clones could be created which means other counties would have to follow. Cloning should still be legal because it could help people even this risk. There is a few ways scientists think human cloning could work. Researching and testing is expensive and it’s dangerous. “Theoretically, a cloned human embryo could be implanted in a uterus and allowed to develop into a fetus, infant, child, and so on.” (Stark)
This quote shows a theory on how to clone a human. “Before combining, the adult reproductive cells must reprogram so they are capable of developing into the wide range of different cells that ultimately make a baby. It can take months to years for this process in mammals -- a process that is skipped in cloning when the nucleus is transferred, Jaenisch said.” (Spar) This quote shows that reprogramming is a process that should be done in cloning
to create a baby. “If reprogramming does not occur properly, the animal may be stillborn, born live but not viable -- or born live but with significant disabilities or abnormalities.” (Spar) This quote s if shows that reprogramming could be a very important for the process of cloning. As you can see, the evidence shows that the process of cloning is lengthy and could come with many failures in testing.

The pros of cloning would be the ability to help people medically, for example therapeutic cloning could help people that need organs.” ‘therapeutic cloning,’ in which tissue would be cloned to produce replacement parts for damaged organs.” (attack) This quote proves that people that have damaged organs will be able to get new organs.
“ It lays the technical groundwork for cloning-to-produce-children, which raises a host of ethical concerns. It could lead to fetal farming--growing cloned embryos to a later stage so that their valuable organs can be harvested for research or transplantation.” (Stark) This quote shows that clones can be created for their organs which could also help people. “Boisselier said the public needs to know "there is a huge demand" for cloning technology from couples unable to have children.” (Spar) This quote shows that people can use clones as their children if they are unable to have children. As you can see, The evidence shows that cloning would be a big help for
people.

The cons of cloning would be dangerous stuff like if cloning fell into the wrong hands. “Consider the consequences if cloning powers fell into the wrong hands.” (Cestero) this quote proves that cloning could be dangerous if not controlled properly because cloning could be used as a weapon. “On a more serious note, think of what some evil Eastern European country might do if they were to obtain cloning ability. They'd probably build some underground compound deep in the Rhineland -- I mean, in the middle of nowhere -- and clone their biggest, baddest, and smartest men and women and breed them for generations…” (Cestero) This quote shows how cloning could be used as a weapon and be a problem for other countries. The effects of testing human cloning is unknown so far. Scientists think testing could be dangerous. “It seems likely that there would be a high number of abnormalities and fetal deaths should human cloning be attempted.” (Spar) This quote shows that scientists are afraid of human clone testing because they think that it could cause deaths and abnormalities for the clones. As you can see, the evidence shows some cons of cloning or attempting to clone humans.

In conclusion, Cloning should be used for good things because it would help many people. Cloning should still be legal even with some cons. I think cloning would be a big help for the world.
