The life expectancy of a person on peritoneal dialysis is around the same as hemodialysis. The last treatment option is a kidney transplant. There are two types of donor with kidney transplants‚ deceased and living. The average life expectancy with deceased donor is 5-10 years. Living donor’s kidney life expectancy varies.

Morally some people think that cloning humans is no worse than creating custom embryos from sperm and egg donors. According to some scientists it’s only a matter of time until a human is cloned. Some advantages or pros in cloning are being able to express character genes that weren’t present before. Another pro is if someone is diagnosed with cancer you could clone him or her and use the clone as a bone marrow donor. Scientists believe clones can be useful in a variety of ways‚ but it is society that

Humans now have within their grasp the ability and technology to create life‚ which may begin the demise of our society.
