     Human cloning has always been a question to everyone and if it will ever be possible. There are people and scientists all over the world that support and go against for a number of reasons. There are many reasons that you can go against it or for it, such as bad experimentation or eternal life. I personally myself go against it for reasons that I will specify in this essay.

          The pros of human cloning are many but there are a few that stand out. Eternal life, there are many people trying to find out ways to live forever and I think cloning in a way makes you live forever. Even though you’re true-self may pass away; your clone or same appearance is still here like if you were never gone. Another pro is that a clone can serve as donor of an organ that you may need to live longer. An example of this can be seen on the film “The Island” or the novel The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer.

         The cons of human cloning are to be seen from all perspectives of what’s happening in the world. If human cloning is possible then I don’t think they’ll be enough space for all the clones that would be made because our world is almost full of people. Also if clones were made, I don’t think they’ll give them the power to think or feel, but if something goes wrong then the clones can find out how their being treated and revolt. Last it could harm someone if the procedure doesn’t go well or even a mutation could be possible because the technology or research would not be correct.

          My view on human cloning is against it because of many reasons. First of all because to me it would be cruelty and taking advantage of someone or “something” for your own good, which eventually in my opinion everyone is going to pass away, no matter what. Second, it would cause too much chaos in the world, and take our bigger problems of the world out of consideration, such as global warming. Also human cloning would cause a whole new era of identity theft. For example if someone were to get another person’s genes and clone them, they could use the clone to act is if it was the original person, this would create a huge problem. Last, because it would challenge, what’s human and what’s not, this would be a big problem because many people would discriminate or challenge themselves.          

          In the end I think human cloning is for the big or rich people that want to live forever and have the money to afford. Not everyone will be able to afford it, if it becomes possible. That’s why I think people will take advantage of it and cause harm with it, in different ways that can affect us in small ways or in tremendous ways. Human cloning for now is science fiction that is slowly becoming reality, but I think it should just stay science fictional, and that is why you should also support the cause against human cloning.
