Cloning

Cloning has been a debatable issue since its conception. Many people are against this idea of "creating" life, but just as many believe the benefits are far too great to pass up. Cloning is an issue where I simply cannot agree with. The potential for disaster is far too great to risk the manufacturing of life forms, no matter what could become of the clones.  Life is meant to be reproduced naturally, not in a laboratory. The truth of the matter is that nobody even knows if these clones have "souls" or not, since they are exact copies of an already existing organism.

In order for cloning to become a more viable option, the yield of successful clones must be much higher; today's rate of only about 2% of clones is simply unacceptable. We would also have to prove that these copies are just as adaptable to everyday life as naturally-born organisms. Lastly, we would have to somehow prove that these clones have their own unique personality, and hence "soul", since having a soulless creature goes against everything our beautiful planet stands for.
