The rule of science says “What you think impossible today will be possible tomorrow”. Expansion in science and technology has been witnessed ever since humans developed scientific reasoning. These advancements have made it possible for us to explore the world and its phenomenas in varied fields. One such field is cloning. A few decades ago, who would have imagined that it would be possible for humans to create life – something that has long been credited to God. But today, the process of cloning has opened the entry gates for exploration of human beings that was never possible before. So today, I’m going to be discussing cloning and why it is morally and genetically wrong. I will be talking about how it’s against the laws of nature and religion, how it will cause identity crises, and how scientists are still uncertain of the results and have no idea what could come from this questionable experiment.
First, cloning is against the laws of nature. Though cloning attempts started around 1952, the first successful embryonic transfer took place in 1970. According …show more content…
Though we have made remarkable progress in this field, the cloning process of humans has not yet been successfully tested and perfected. According to EMBO Reports’ article titled “Is ‘cloning' mad, bad and dangerous?” the making of “Dolly” started with deaths of numerous embryos and newborns. One “Dolly” came into existence from 277 fused eggs, which itself indicates the grim success rate of the cloning process. If human cloning is carried out, it may very well lead to uncontrolled results, abnormal development, genetic damage, malformation and diseases in the clone- according to a popular scientific debate on human cloning from debate.org. Even if cloning is successful, the life of the clone will probably be a drastic one with a much shorter span. Since genes can be tricky, recessive genes may show up too late in a clone, and a whole line of people may get
