As people live longer and longer, the idea of cloning human beings in order to provide spare parts is becoming a reality. The idea horrifies most people, yet it is no longer mere science fiction.

To what extent do you agree with such a procedure?

Have you any reservations?

Cloning technology is already found by humans. Although it has only been tested on sheep and there have been no human trails yet, boffins are pretty optimistic and believe that the procedure could help to find organs without donating any organs. However, most people are horrified from the cloning idea due to the fact it may lead to overpopulation problem. I would tend to agree with idea of cloning as long as the cloning technology is done under control.

In the first place, it is an unequivocally fact that cloning technology is the most important and hope pledging development in medicine community due to the fact that humans will be able to find organs without donation. Thus, people will not have to die of specific types of cancer or organ failure, such as kidney failure, bone marrow cancer, heart failure or pulmonary cancer. For example, bone marrow cancer is the most fatal type of cancer and bone marrow transpalant is one of the hardest transpants because of the difficulty in finding correct stem cell. However, if we use the cloning technology on the body, we will manage to find the correct stem cell. Thus, this new cure technology will save a lot of people's lives.

On the other hand, population problem is a doubtless fact. Because we are programmed to die, when we get older, the virtual parts of our bodies become inefficient day by day and eventually, our biological system collapses. Same as our world. The world has limited resources and cloning technology if used conterproductively and indiscriminately can make it very hard to live in our world. The negative effects of overcrowding is severe need of water, energy and air can create serious issues in our world. For instance, if people use this technology for their own entertaitment, this can lead to huge lack of resources.

All in all, cloning technologhy may look benefical in the health sector, but we still need to cope with essential problems like overpopulation matter. In my point of view, if this techology is used by good hands it could be helpful for people's live.
