This is also beneficial in the fact that the body would be less likely to reject an organ because it would recognize the organ as its own. There is a variety of other applications that can be useful in cloning technology. As long as people understand the many possibilities that can be developed, doors can be open to a new medical revolution.As you can see, there are many arguments for and against cloning. However, a majority of the arguments against cloning are not based on science or logical reason, therefore they are easily open to criticism. I think morality and ethics are issues of personal opinion that can not really be wrong. Everyone has the right to his or her own opinion, but most of the arguments against cloning are based on religious beliefs that are not shared by all, or on fears which result because of a lack of knowledge about the subject of cloning and the many benefits it can have in medical research.I believe the 10,000 Hitlers scenario is an unjustified fear. First, in order to clone 10,000 evil dictators you would need 10,000 women who are willing to carry an evil clone for nine months. Even then it would take years for the clone to be raised to maturity.
