Some people, such as scientists in this field and certain infertile couples, are now arguing against banning it. But I think we should ban human cloning because it has a possibility to reduce the value of our life, to take away individuality in our society, to destroy the moral and social systems, to cause physical and psychological damage especially for the clone, to goes against the religion rules and, of course, it is ethically and morally wrong.
