There are several issues that should be discussed during the debate on human cloning. The principles and the meaning of human life should first be discussed as well as questioned. Will the product of human cloning be a person or a just piece of property? According to a CNN poll, about 90 percent of Americans think that human cloning is a bad idea. The technology that would make it possible to create humans by cloning will slowly convert the natural human reproduction into a manufacturing process where genetically designed babies are to be made in laboratories. Discussion of human cloning should also involve the discussion of ethics.the Person`s individuality should be made important since part of human dignity is the uniqueness of that human. Cloning will remove this uniqueness of the human being thus at the same time, violate the inherent dignity of humans. Cloning live humans require the artificial production of cloned human embryos that would be experimented on and if successful, would become the adult human clone. If cloned human embryos will be considered as humans then it will be a profound disrespect of human life to continue with the human cloning process since experiments of human cloning would involve the creation and destruction of human embryos on a massive scale. Again, this treatment of human embryos as being created, manufactured and destroyed in order to advance the human cloning research is an utter disregard for human dignity as humans are treated as test subjects and as variables for experiments.

FACT: According to the Universal Declaration on Human Genome and Human Rights (UNESCO 1997) human cloning violates human dignity.

FACT:  Cloned human beings would not have two normal parents and would only have one human where the genetic code came from 

One question to be raised in cloning is, if a clone has been successfully grown and becomes an adult, would he have the same rights as the regular human beings? Would the clone suffer from the pressure of expectations based on his genetic makeup and would suffer from comparison from his host?

In conclusion, I want to say that I am,of course, against cloning. For example, everyone of you watched the film "El clone". You could see how unhappy he was, how he suffered because no one wanted to accept him as a normal person. Clones do not live long life. Even, the man, whose clone was made, also suffered,because he lost his uniqueness, he saw his shadow wherever he went. It is not acceptable.
