human cloning should be legalized

If human cloning law, if passed, would not have prevented research from

occurring in private institutions (such as universities) that have both private
and federal funding. However, the 2010 law was not passed. There are
currently no federal laws in the United States which ban cloning completely

What Is Cloning?
Cloning "refers to the development of offspring that are genetically identical to
their parents." While cloning is often referred to as an unnatural process, it
occurs quite often in nature. Identical twins are clones, for example, and asexual
creatures reproduce by cloning. Artificial human cloning, however, is both very
new and very complex.

Is Artificial Cloning Safe?

Not yet. It took 277 unsuccessful embryo implantations to produce Dolly the
Sheep, and clones tend to age rapidly and experience other health problems. The
science of cloning is not particularly advanced.

Biological Evolution in Modern Humans

There is no scientific basis to the claim sometimes made that the biological evolution of
mankind has stopped, or nearly so, at least in technologically advanced countries. It is
asserted that the progress of medicine, hygiene, and nutrition have largely eliminated death
before middle age; that is, most people live beyond reproductive age, after which death is
inconsequential for natural selection. 

Genetic Disorders
More than 2,000 human diseases and abnormalities that have a genetic causation have
been identified in the human population. Genetic disorders may be dominant, recessive,
multifactorial, or chromosomal. Dominant disorders are caused by the presence of a single
copy of the defective allele, so that the disorder is expressed in heterozygous individuals:

Should human cloning be legal

Dolly the sheep was the first cloned mammal that the scientists developed back in 1996.
Then a quote was said ‘Sometime, somewhere, someone will generate a cloned human
being”
After successfully cloning Dolly the sheep it became possible to clone humans as well
and solutions to problems as infertility and rising the chances of having a child but just
because we can do doesn’t mean that we should. Because there are thousands of
reasons not to do it and raises concerns to moral and ethical issues. Cloning is risky.
imperfect procedure, it does not create an exact copy of an individual. It takes several
takes still for now to make a perfect clone. There are two type of cloning that is
reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning. Although many scientists claim that
cloning will cure both common and rare and devastating diseases, such as diabetes and
degenerative brain diseases in the human race, it has very low percentages of success
and there are some medical concerns which cannot be overlooked. As Weldon writes:
“Ninety-five to ninety-seven percent of animal cloning attempts still end in failure, and
the scientists who cloned Dolly failed 276 times before they succeeded in producing a
single live-born clone of an adult sheep.

Moreover, most scientists believe that the process of cloning humans will result in even
higher failure rates. Not only does the cloning process have a low success rate, the
viable clone suffers increased risk of serious genetic malformation, cancer or shortened
lifespan

The likelihood of pregnancy losses and abnormal births are very high, and this was
observed by Wilmut and his team after cloning Dolly the sheep. They tried to clone
another lamb in their lab, however the lamb “developed lung problems that caused it to
hyperventilate and regularly pass out.

Not only is the process of cloning very risky, but one of the biggest misconceptions that
the general public has about this research is that a cloned individual will not be the
same person as his or her donor. Although the donor and the clone will look exactly the
same physically, as they have identical genomes, internally, they would be different
individuals. The environment in which we grow up in and the experiences that we have
throughout our life define us and shape us uniquely as individuals

 We are all shaped by our environment from the day we were conceived (Weintraub,
2019). Even nature’s clones — identical twins — are not identical.

They have the same genome but do not have the same personality, character, interests,
style etc. They grow up to be different individuals. Furthermore, there is an even deeper
misconception about cloning, thanks to all the science fiction books and movies. We
need to realize that cloning would produce a baby, not an adult.

Finally, we cannot ignore the ethical and moral concerns that exist around the topic of
human cloning. If the technology was legal, it could be abused and allow eugenic
selections with enhancement in human traits.
Eugenics aim are to “breed out” diseases, “disabilities and so-called undesirable
characteristics from the human population. Black person

Cloning humans could lead to serious violations of human rights as well as human
dignity, and it is up to authorities, laws and institutions to make sure to protect cloned
individuals from being exploited.

 Some scientists are working on competitive technologies such as iPSCs (induced

pluripotent stem cells), which “can be made to grow into any type of tissue in the body”
in order to “make personalized multipurpose cells without destroying eggs or embryos,”
and CRISPR gene editing, which do not require the development of an actual human.
However, the topics of cloning and gene editing further open up controversial
discussions about how this work could create more divides in the society between the
rich and the poor

For example, there is the possibility of babies whose genes have been selected or
altered, also known as “designer babies.

Population growth is the increase in the number of individuals in

a population. Global human population growth amounts to around 83 million
annually, or 1.1% per year. The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to
7.8 billion in 2020.

There are a very limited number of oocytes available for research with human
embryos. For the foreseeable future this technology would be much more
appropriately developed in a laboratory animal.

many animals pregnant with clones in research laboratories in the United States and
Europe are miscarrying, and that some of the surviving fetuses show evidence of
subtle genetic abnormalities. Others are growing abnormally large in the womb.

  The Low Survival Rate of Clones

There are a lot of risks for the growth and survival of the clones, and most criticism comes from
the scientists who knew about the risks and dangers of human cloning as most of the embryos
are lost before they reach their birth stage, and the clones would have certain abnormalities as
well. The percentage of cloned organisms to reach the period of adulthood is very low at 0.3%.

it could be abuse for women that gave their eggs but lost the fetuses, and the organisms
produced in such a way may suffer certain health issues. The cloning in human may produce
certain psychological problems like psychological distress that affects the uniqueness and
individuality of an organism. Moreover, it may cause certain issues in earlier or later growth.
 Issues Related to the Use of Cloned Animal Products and Their Safety  

Cloning produces similar individuals that are useful for the animal breeders, as they have good
traits in the same to their parents.[21] The cloned animal products faced moral and ethical issues
due to controversial views, yet the reports submitted by the US and National Academy of
Sciences, National Research Council reveals that the cloned animal products have no side
effects and are as safe as are noncloned or commercial animals also no differences in scientific
research bases according to the Food and Drug Authority (FDA). The FDA reported the foods
such as milk and meat obtained from the cloned organisms is same as noncloned one.[22] That's
why FDA has allowed the use of cloned animal products along with their wide range cloning.

Not only does the cloning process have a low success rate, the viable clone suffers
increased risk of serious genetic malformation, cancer or shortened lifespan.

Human reproductive cloning remains universally condemned, primarily for the

psychological, social, and physiological risks associated with cloning. ... Because the
risks associated with reproductive cloning in humans introduce a very high likelihood
of loss of life, the process is considered unethical.
