Cloning: Just Legalize It! Cloning is a very controversial topic as it affects the moral values ​​of human beings. In February 1997 Scottish scientists announced the birth of the first cloned sheep called Dolly, this heralded the future of cloning possibilities and scientists began extensive cloning experiments and have since successfully cloned both plants and animals. The next step was to clone real human beings, but before the experiments could be conducted, pressure began to build on scientists because people began to doubt whether cloning was ethical and morally correct. Governments began to introduce bans and restrictions on cloning, because they believed that cloning was not right, and because they represented the country's population, they had to act accordingly. Cloning has its disadvantages, but its advantages seem to greatly outweigh them. If cloning could be pioneered, scientists would find a way to clone body organs that are an exact replica of a single body organ. This would prove to be very beneficial for a person who may have lost a body organ such as a kidney, scientists could clone that particular organ for the individual, which would, in the long run, work better than a transplanted organ. it will certainly greatly expand the scope of medicine, thus increasing the chances of defeating diseases such as Parkinson's disease, cancer and other diseases that were previously considered incurable. Cloning could be used to increase the population of endangered animal species and thus save them from total extinction. This would help maintain a natural balance on the earth and have a continuous natural life cycle. Cloning could definitely benefit couples who are infertile and wish to have a child of their own, so they could use cloning to produce a child with similar characteristics. In fact, they may even be able to choose the characteristics of their child. Equally important, single women could have children, using cloning instead of artificial insemination. Cloning could also provide a copy of a child to a couple whose child has died. Another goal of cloning is to produce livestock with ideal characteristics for the agricultural industry and be able to manufacture biological products such as proteins for humans. Some suggest that cloning is unnatural and unethical but so would talking about medicine when you get sick.
