Reproductive cloning, therapeutic cloning, and embryo cloning are all the creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another. Every bit of DNA is the same. While medical and scientific benefits to cloning are often put forward, so are the moral and ethical questions about creating life, especially pertaining to the rights of these new life forms.
Some people might not know what cloning really is. Well it is a process of making a genetic copy of something. It can be from a copy of a cell to the duplicate of a whole animal. The word "clone" started to be part of the English language thanks to a man named Herbert Webber. The word actually started as "clon", used to describe the genetic similarities with the parents. Soon the word changed to "clone" and in the early twentieth century, it became part of our language.
Cloning is a process in which another identical organism is produced by taking a DNA sample and putting it in an empty nucleus. The clones that exist now are identical twins that were formed naturally. There are two way of cloning, the Artificial Embryo Twinning and Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer. In natural way the twins come from two-celled embryo and they grow in mother's womb, but in cloning the first cell is divided manually and the clone grows in a Petri dish.
If a terminally ill forty year old man does not create a clone, he would not be tempted to take another life to extend his own. If the infertile couple does not create a cloned child, then they could have a living human child and there would be one less child without a family and food. Cloning only adds to the problem of mankind.
