more likely than not. Dolly, the cloned sheep, was the only successful attempt out of 277 tries. The other 276 animals were either killed or developed severe abnormalities. There is also an important moral aspect to cloning. If nuclear transfer becomes wide spread among humans, mens role in reproduction would be obsolete. Furthermore, those with religious inclinations believe humans maintain individuality and have a soul, which cloning could not reproduce since scientists cannot explain it, let alone copy it. Lastly, the mental and emotional repercussions of cloning are unknown and could never be predicted.Cloning is an amazing, powerful resource whose functions should never leave the laboratory and enter society. The world has functioned properly for millions for years by means of natural reproduction, which is instinctive in every being. The miraculous creation of life by God should never be manipulated or copied by those created by the same amazing process. Interrupting the natural cycle of human life would have devastating effects upon both humans and animals. Such a mistake as wide spread cloning would likely lead to the self-demise of the human species. Creation has always been a miraculous, natural work of God alone, and it should remain so for all times....
