However, there are not morally objectionable issues when it comes to cloning DNA strands only. The problem arises when the scientists talk about cloning something more advanced, for instance human beings. Before stating my own stand in the debate, a small overview of the clone process needs to be given.

In the normal means of reproduction, the male sperm enters the woman's body and goes to fertilize the egg.

This would result in the creation of an identical person instead of a child, who contains both the DNA of his parents.

Arguments against Cloning

My person stance is against human cloning. The biggest argument which I feel here is the fact that indeed ...
