    The first concern about cloning is whether this method is safe enough to be applied in real life.

    Although cloning has existed for two decades, it is substantially unreliable due to having
    extremely low percentages of success as well as some medical concerns. In 2002, Weldon
    pointed out “Ninety-five to ninety-seven percent of animal cloning attempts still end in failure”,
    this can be seen through the case of the scientist Wilmut, who had failed 276 times before
    successfully generating Dolly the sheep. Moreover, following the high failure rate in the cloning
    process is the likelihood for viable clones to suffer from severe health problems like serious
    genetic malformation and shortened lifespan (Savulescu, 1999). Return to Dolly, she was
    reported to die young since her aging genes were short, as the result of cloning (Knight, 2003).
    To recap, the cloning technique is still at a primitive stage, therefore it should not be applied on
    both animals and humans.

    Secondly, it is worth consider ethical and moral problems that exist around cloning, especially in
    human cloning field. If human cloning procedure is legal, it would start the act of using human
    being as a tool to create eugenic selection and exploit human resources. Although a 2017 History
    Eugenics article states that people could improve species by “selective mating people with
    specific desirable hereditary traits”, according to Savulescu (1999) and Green (1999), this action
    could contravene “a person’s right to individuality” and “reduce diversity in the human gene
    pool”. Furthermore, cloning humans would create an illegal organ trafficking industry. To clone a
    human, numerous human’s organs are required, however, the demand for organs is usually larger
    than the supply, consequently, black markets dealing in organs appear. Ultimately, human cloning
    need to be banned or else infringements related to human rights and dignity would be
    unavoidable.

    END

    In conclusion, although cloning holds both merits and demerits, it is still being analysed as well
    as researched for further applications. Therefore it is important to put appropriate regulations on
    the practice to not only eliminate unfortunate consequences but also make the best out of it.

    Cloning technique, defined as the production of genetically identical individuals, has widely
    come into the public’s awareness since the birth of Dolly the sheep in 1997. However, after two
    decades, this newly born science still raises numerous controversial issues. Contemplating both
    benefits and drawbacks of the reproduction of individuals’ facsimile, the method is encouraged
    to some extent.
