Maybe We Can Be Two

After reading “The Dark Side of Science” I was intrigued by the act of cloning. This is usually always displayed in movies, though movies portray the exact same type of person this is not the case in real cloning. When cloning a person, there is a brand new baby. Which means that down the line the baby might look the same but their personality might be the total opposite. Yes, I’m saying totally different from his original counterpart. Now, let’s really talk about cloning. The first animal cloning happened with Dolly the lamb. But with that achievement there came some flaws, firstly Dolly died early. Though scientists didn't know if cloning was the exact reason, but the general consensus decided that could’ve been a big reason. The question is, would this happen with human clones too? Secondly Dolly was nearly 300 other embryos to get cloned. This is a low rate of success. Knowing this makes me question how hard it would be to clone a whole entire human and at what price.
This is Dolly the lamb: 

Now let me start by pointing out the good things about cloning. Though there aren't many, I want to point out the idea of replacing something. Since cloning a whole human is way too complex and difficult (but can be done) cloning a body part is an easier method. With this I want to talk about cloning organs, skin, or any important body part. Sunburn can cause excessive damage for your skin, with cloning new skin some diseases such as cancer can be avoided. In another way cloning organs can even save lives. Once a person needs an organ, there is no time for waiting for organ donations, now cloning can make it faster and easier to live longer. Cloning an organ or a human can also be used for studying a certain disease or drug test. Though cloning can be a major change in history, using the idea of cloning should be wisely thought about.

Those ideas may seem relevant but now think about the idea of having another YOU walking around. Are you really YOU then? Remember, when cloning a person; let’s say you are considering cloning Einstein. Obviously he will look almost the same as Einstein himself. But will he become as smart and become a like personality wise? Maybe.

As stated before i mentioned the idea of cloning an organ. Usually people would like to clone an organ in order to get rid of a disease, but remember, when a disease is in your DNA or an inborn cause then there isnt really a cure for it.

Therefore personally, I believe that cloning should not be open for everyone. Cloning should be for people who are using it for test or experience. There should definitely not be another clone walking on earth. This could cause disturbances in the society and change mankind. I really think that if we did make clones everywhere, this might cause confusion and trouble. Whereas using cloning as drug tests and etc will just help us. Either way, they should only be used in minor cases.
