In 1996, Scottish scientist Ian Wilmot and his research team successfully cloned a lamb called Dolly from an adult sheep. This invention shocked the whole world when they realized that cloning was no longer a fantasy or an element of a science fiction film. Since then, human cloning has become one of the most debated topics in the world. Everyone started discussing its benefits or the ethical issues of human cloning. Most people were against it and called it an "evil" experiment. In several recent polls conducted by Cable News Network (CNN) and TIME magazine (The Ethics of Cloning, 1998), it was shown that seventy-five percent of the surveyed population thought cloning was not a good thing. Furthermore, three-quarters of those surveyed believed that cloning was against God's will, and when asked if they had the ability to clone themselves, only 7 percent of people said they would allow it. However, when asked to define human cloning, about 95% of them failed to describe it correctly. Although many people believe that cloning is against the will of God and that it is immoral and unethical to clone human beings for both religious and humanitarian reasons, however, human cloning can have many benefits for the human race in terms of helping infertile couples and people with genetic problems. Furthermore, it can be really useful for people suffering from diseases such as kidney and liver defects or cancer. It can also be used to develop "spare parts" of the human body to be used for organ transplants. Before explaining the benefits of human cloning, you need to know what the process involves. Many people say that it is the creation of another…paper medium…accusing it of spreading misconceptions. The fact is that most people are afraid of new inventions and changes at first. For example, one of the new techniques introduced with the advancement of genetic engineering is called "test tube babies", which involves the birth of a child by artificial means outside the mother's body. At first people opposed it because it was against their morals and ethics, but as time passed they realized its importance and benefits. Since this was also a new concept, people were afraid of its consequences. It is people's responsibility to gather information and know every aspect of the situation before raising their voice against it. They should now have new inventions made for them because they make life easier. Therefore, human cloning, like another useful new technology, should be embraced rather than feared.
