if nothing else was possible and I was able to receive one. Why, you might ask? Because I have not had a chance to live my life, and there are many other things I would like to experience, such as celebrating my twenty-first birthday, getting married, and having a family. But if we cloned human organs we would eliminate a major killer to the human race, and provide patients worldwide with a healthy cloned organ. There would be no waiting lists, less complications, and almost no deaths. Another reason for cloning is the cure for diseases. Knowing that cancer is one of the leading causes of death of many worldwide, with cloning we maybe able to produce an effective gene therapy to cure this disease. It may also save many people’s lives. The final reason that cloning is beneficial to humanity is that it would let us take a giant step of immortality. Wouldn’t it be great if you did not have to worry about getting old or dying? Well with human cloning this could all be possible. “Dr. Richard Seed, one of the leading proponents of human cloning technology, suggests that it is possible to reverse the aging process because of what we learn from the cloning. We could possibly reverse our age up to twenty years.” (Tennessee.org) This would almost allow us to live forever, and not be afraid of old age and death.Right now scientist are attempting to create transgenetic pigs which have human genes. Their heart, liver, and kidneys might be useable as organ transplants in humans. This would save many lives. Thousands of people die each year waiting for available human organs. Once this is achieved, transgenetic animals could be cloned to produce as many organs as needed. In conclusion, the Cloning of human beings should not be taken for granted it. Whether one is for or against human cloning or the human cloning of the organs we should all be aware of the benefits it can offer or bring to us. We should not ...
