Since the old comics of cloning to more modern times, cloning has been a dream that eventually came true. The world’s first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell was born July 5th, 1996 and died February 14th, 2003. Though a short-lived life, Dolly truly made the world a better place by affirming what we had been working on for the longest time. Asking an askew group of participants, you will find a variety of opinions on whether cloning is right or wrong. In 1885, the first practice of cloning begun when Hans Adolf Edward Dreisch proved it was not just a dream by demonstrating cloning by simply shaking two-celled sea urchin embryos, separating the cells into two totally different sea urchins. Since then cloning has been taken even further

There are numerous benefits from us cloning animals let alone humans. One of the biggest benefits would be for our medical fields. There is no telling how many lives would be saved from us humans having clones of ourselves. No more organ donors would be needed after one’s death since any part could be taken from your clone. However, having clones of everyone would effectively double the population of the planet which is already over its limit as we know. A counter to that con would just to be cloning specific parts of that human in need instead of entire bodies of the patient. Even though blood would be unavailable since there is no body, vital organs as stated earlier would be easily obtained and no waiting lines for hearts or lungs would be present any longer. People on the verge of death would no longer have to wait for an extra part like a broken car. We could easily clone what is needed and replace their unfunctional body part. Besides the medical field, cloning would have a great impact on our society by alleviating the high number of back logged lists of children waiting for families. By cloning as little as one adult capable of caring for one child, we could ultimately eliminate foster care and orphanages. As that being a pro, a con to that would be that the world’s population would grow, but now as much as it would if we cloned everyone once for medical use. One of the more difficult parts of this movement would …show more content…
I’m not just talking about the United States’ economy; I am talking about the world’s. Countless factors are present when considering the use of cloning in everyday life. The first factor is price. Money is the biggest deal today. Money means power and if you have little to no money, you will be belittled by others with much higher influences. From cloning top of the line animals for meat, to cloning full humans for any purpose will not be cheap. Beside there being a 2% success rate in cloning, the costs for it are substantial. Other financial costs aside, scientists have predicted the cost of a human clone to be around $250,000. That amount is for one clone by itself. While there being the pro of providing parts for citizens in need, the con is that it would be too costly for any country to use as a stable method of medical usage. While cloning humans would cost so much, cloning a cow would only cost around $20,000. It may be a good sum of money to most but, the benefits from it would quickly add up. Imagine farmers picking a couple of their top milk producing cows and cloning one or maybe two of them. They would no longer have to worry about whether this batch would make them money. Every clone of that cow would be the exact same. They would be guaranteed a cow that produces like the original. Another point in our economy is that it will create numerous jobs. Cloning is an extensive process that takes time and
