fer could also help children who need organ transplants to have a
clone born to donate organs. Cloning could also provide a copy of a
child for a couple whose child died.
5. The biggest problem with the use of cloning on a large scale is
the decline in genetic diversity. If everyone has the same genetic material, what happens if we cannot clone anymore? If a population of
organisms has the same genetic information, then the disease could
wipe out the entire population.
6. There is also a debate as to the moral rights of clones. Some
say this will occur because there is no birth of newness. They say
cloning would deprive a person of uniqueness. People also wonder
what mental and emotional problems would result if a clone found
out that he or she was cloned.
7. Religious organisations claim that cloning does not respect the
fact that humans have souls. They consider cloning unnatural, and
say we are taking the work of God into our own hands.
