Essay: Navjot Virk  Jonathan  Science 7th Pd.  December 5, 2010 **__Benefits and Consequences for Cloning __**

Cloning, what is cloning? Cloning is using specialized DNA technology to produce multiple, exact copies of a single gene or other segment of DNA to obtain enough material for further study. To me, cloning is like making a copy of someone or something. Cloning has many benefits and consequences to it; in my perspective, I think that cloning is wrong and good in many ways.

Cloning has many benefits to it as well as well as consequences. One benefit is loneliness and company. For example, if you are lonely and want company, you can have a clone with you that listen to every detail you have to say or complain about. Another benefit is medical transplants. For example, if you need a kidney transplant a clone can help in giving a kidney transplant. Another benefit is blood donations. For example, if you need a blood donation, then you might as well get it from a clone that looks like you and has the same genetics as you. Another benefit is saving extinct or endangered species of animals and plants. For example, you can make clones of the endangered or extinct animal and plants to decrease their risk of extinction. Another benefit is food increase. For example, because of the cloning of animals and plants that will increase the food supplement that the animals have leaving no animal hungry. Finally a last benefit is a solution for infertile couples. For example, because of cloning it will allow the couples to create a child with certain features. Also, cloning allows for the manipulation of genes, embryos can be created free of inherited genetic disorders or predispositions. As you can see, there are many benefits to cloning.

 Cloning has many consequences to it as well as benefits. One consequence is the overpopulation of the human race. For example, if due to cloning the population of the human race increases substantially then there might not be room or space for further generation. Another consequence is a loss of uniqueness. For example, when you clone yourself then you lose yourself uniqueness because your uniqueness is your DNA. Another consequence is that it is unable for clone mother to hold baby in womb for the 9 month pregnancy period. For example, if a clone female was pregnant it would be able to reproduce but the baby in the womb would not be able to last the 9 month period in the womb. Another consequence is the price and cost of cloning. For example, if you needed a clone of you then what would the price be, probably millions. Another consequence is playing with God’s creation. For example, I mean many people are religious and believe that God is the person that creates you and if you clone its creations that is like calling god’s creations nothing. Another consequence is no difference of life and death. For example, if you cloned yourself and you died the clone would still be alive and that would show that there would be no difference between life and death. Another consequence is people growing whole copies of them. For example, people who are rich and would be able to afford clones of them would just be growing whole copies of themselves for no specific reason. Another consequence is the overpopulation of the animals. For example, because of the overpopulation of the animals there would be a crowded population of animals in specific places or locations. As you can see, there are many consequences to cloning.

 In my perspective, I think that cloning is wrong and good in many ways. I mean I if you look on the negative side it is like recreating God’s creation and the positive is that you can choose what you want your child to look like from head to toe. Another positive to cloning is that you can help people with medical transplants, but also the negative is that there will be an increased population of the animals. Also another negative would be that you would not be unique anymore because the clone would share the same DNA as yours.

As you can see, Cloning has many benefits and consequences to it; in my perspective, I think that cloning is wrong and good in many ways. So you see from reading this you can learn to not only look for the benefits for products or issues but also look at the consequences you’ll have to face.
