s right. In England, scientists are heavily researching the embryo for stem cells. Right now the British scientists can use early embryos to study specific problems such as infertility, congenital diseases, contraception and prenatal diagnostics. Cloning good stem cells and using them for babies with these problems would prevent the diseases from ever happening. The reason for using the stem cell is because the cell is so versatile. Stem cells are taken from human embryos and fetal tissue. The cell, when never used, like in embryos, can be turned into nearly any cell type of the whole body. Scientists also expect that when using cloned embryos a person would easily overcome the problem of transplant.Some scientists believe that there is a down side to cloning. Scientists argue that there would be a decline in genetic diversity in the gene pool. Others argue that we would be taking nature into our own hands by cloning people, and that we would not each be unique. Many religions also think that cloning is playing God and forbid agreeing with it. Cloning humans is very complicated, therefore more deaths and lethal birth defects can be expected during experimentation. It took the scientists who created Dolly 277 tries before they got a healthy, viable lamb. The scientific community sympathizes with the religious communities concerns, but does not want to lose the enormous amount of information that might be gained by human embryo cloning. In conclusion, there are both pros and cons of cloning. Morality plays a big part in this issue. It is up to the individual whether they feel that it is right or wrong. Both sides have strong beliefs and thoughts, but cannot persuade others to believe if they do not totally believe. Cloning can help the human race by preventing many illnesses. Scientists cannot play God to make more humans or bring the deceased back to life. They could use their research for treating illnesses and coopera...
