Animal Cloning.. reaction essay ulit

The article entitled “Animal Cloning: Facts and Fallacies” explains the process on animal cloning and corrects the misconceptions on the subject. Since there are always other factors that contribute to what makes up one’s personality, every organism is unique. Another idea explained is that with the need for matured nucleus for the process, a clone’s cells are always years older when it is born. The text also mentions how and why cloning should only be applied to live organisms. Now, after reading the text, I think that human cloning should be discouraged since there is a possibility that the purpose of experimentation may be defied and taken as an opportunity for selfish intentions.
The success of sheep cloning showed us that with technological advancement, who knows what we are capable of doing. With these scientific discoveries, we can find ways to make this world a better place. But in the same matter, these new discoveries could be used by rival countries for terrorism and warfare. It is quoted in the text that although some scientists believe that human cloning is only 10 to 20 years around the corner, the process would be far more difficult than a sheep. I agree. The process alone requires hundreds of donors and surrogate mothers. Every failure would mean a loss of human life. In other words, it would be like playing with human life and treating people like lab rats and that is unethical. In addition, cloning goes against a religious law that only God is allowed to create another being (not in a scientific way).
One argument for cloning is that we can produce more geniuses and thereby improve life for everyone through their contributions. I agree with the author that “Every human life, no matter how conceived, is unique”. Since clones are not exact copies, there is no proof that someone who is genetically identical to Albert Einstein, for example, would be a genius or would use his genius for socially acceptable ends. Upbringing and environment could turn an Einstein clone into another Adolf Hitler. Another notion is that we can produce clones to provide “spare parts” for people who need transplant. In my opinion, using clones for that intention is just as every bit the same with using your next door neighbor as a “spare part” provider.
Also, in the bible is the story of the Tower of Babel. Humans, with the help of a common language, were on the verge of building a tower all the way to Heaven. But God did not approve:
"The LORD said, 'If as one people speaking the same language they
have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for
them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not
understand each other.”
Imagine a world where everybody looks like everybody and nobody knows who’s who. The only result would, of course, be chaos. For example, a person decides to make a clone of somebody else so that he can control the clone and then embarrasses the other person. That simple act will lead to another stupid act and then another then another until…war and chaos. So, in conclusion, since the possibility of human cloning is now a definite maybe, it should be discouraged while it has not yet been proven to be possible because it only leads to chaos, an irrevocable effect.
