OK first of all, I may not seem to know what I am talking about, and I most likely I don't. I am 13 years old. At this time in the world I personally do not think that we should have to worry about if we can or can not clone a human being. I am against it, for me I see it as a way for people to prove that they are better then their anscestors. If it is just an arm or leg, for now that is fine, but what happens when we become bored with the idea that we can do that? What happens when we start to clone people? we truly do not need any more people on this earth. Cloned animals, whether it be: sheep, chiks, dogs, or kittens, are inevitably born with heart conditions, deformities, or sometimes are born dead. Dolly the sheep for instence had Arthritise by the time that she was six months old and although sheep just like people can have childhood arthritis, it is usually one to one thousand. Finally, do we really need to waste good doctors and good money on tryin to bring something to this world that can already come here if it is meant to?
