Cloning

I am not in favor of cloning for several reasons. Cloning may present several problems such as imbalance in the nature, social discrimination, and health problems in the cloned humans. Cloning is against natural balance and may be more of a problem than a solution, that’s why I am not in favor of it.

Cloning may present an imbalance in nature. Cloning may cause overpopulation, which would be a disaster on the earth, as having too many people would cause ecological problems, such as deforestation and global consumption of earth’s resources which may lead to an ecological disaster.  Social discrimination is another example of a possible problem of cloning. Gene quality may be a factor on human qualification, work may be only for the genetically superior, or on the other hand, cloned or genetically manipulated people may be discriminated by religion, other institutions and society. Also there are theories that describe cloning as an anti-natural process that may cause several health problems. Cloned humans may present premature aging and other problems which were observed in dolly the sheep and may happen to cloned humans. Other possible diseases may be cancer and neurological ailments caused by the unnatural process of cloning.

I am not in favor of cloning as it may present several problems on humanity and the world. An imbalance in nature, social discrimination, and health problems are some of the possible results caused by this process, and some of the reasons for my position against cloning. Humans should no manipulate nature, as it is balance and any disruption on it may be fatal for the humans, the planet, and the life of it.
