In nature, cloning is common among plants and is used extensively in plant propagation. The offspring produced by cloning (and other methods of asexual reproduction) simply develop from cells produced by the parent. Because the offspring have genetic information identical to the parent, they develop very similar characteristics to their parent (and to one another) as they mature.

This means that an agriculturalist who grows new plants from pieces of an older plant ensures that the new crop will be a fairly uniform one (Box 1: Propagating plants).

"Cloning is typically thought of as the production of genetically identical individuals. The primary biomedical benefits of cloning stem more from the use of this technology in the genetic modification of animals rather than from making identical copies, however.

The idea behind the cloning technique is that each of the cells in an individual contains the same set of genes and, under the right conditions, should be capable of directing the development of a new genetically identical copy of the original animal.

CLONING IS WRONG; CLONING IS UNNECESSARY
·    Cloning creates a living human embryo, the near-identical twin of the donor. On that essential truth there must be no scientific and political deception.
·    Cloning creates a human embryo solely for research, with its destruction intended - and that is wrong. We must not create one life in order to destroy it for the benefit of another life.

Biomedical Ethics | The Benefits of Cloning Outweigh the Risks
In the following viewpoint, Richard T. Hull contends that the cloning of a sheep in Scotland is an extraordinary scientific advance that should be pursued. Although not enough is known yet about cloning to try it on humans, Hull asserts that many of people’s fears about human cloning are unfounded. Moreover, the development and future use of cloning technology could have enormous benefits for humans.

1)    A couple has one child then they become infertile and cannot have more children. Cloning would enable such a couple to have a second child, perhaps a younger twin of the child they already have.

2) A child is lost soon after birth to a tragic accident. Many parents have written the HCF after losing a baby in a fire, car accident, or other unavoidable disaster. These grief stricken parents often say that they would like to have their perfect baby back.

Here are some of the disadvantages of cloning.
I think that there are many disadvantages of cloning. First one is that if they would succeed in cloning animals, it would cost too much money to clone just one animal. Second of all, is that it would take a lot of time to clone just one of the animals, and still, you would probably only succeed after about a hundred tries.

Other ethical issues
A unique feature of a clone would be that it would not just be a copy of the person who has been cloned. He or she would be a ‘delayed twin’. For example, if A were to be cloned and B were to be his clone, B would be born 9 months after the procedure was initiated. B would an identical twin of A but born at a different time. However, A would also be a parent of B. Thus there would be a dual relationship between the two that is, A and B would be siblings genetically and parent and child socially.
