Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human, human cell or human tissue. There are many moralists and people who are opposed to it. One of their reason is that cloning can make children into commodities. The proponents of human cloning state that cloning cures infertility, could be used to reverse heart attack by cloning healthy heart cells and injecting them into areas of the heart that have been damaged, can reduce the aging process which might lead to immortality, because according to them, human cloning really means taking a human being's DNA and reversing its age back to zero! etc. According to this website that promotes human cloning http://www.humancloning.org/ , there are many health benefits of human cloning aside from the one I have cited above nearly all incurable diseases can be cured through it. Of the many benefits of cloning, we know it can be abused and can be used by some scientists and others for their own purposes like the mixing of human genes with animals and plants to create hybrids. Like this one created by scientists: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/01/0125_050125_chimeras.html
What can you say? If human genes are mixed with animal genes to create human-animal hybrids what could be the outcome? Those mythical creatures that were only seen in the movies and legends can now be seen face-to-face. And who can say what behaviors these hybrids could make. What is your views regarding these, thanks for dropping by.
