Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of an existing, or previously existing, human being or clone tissue, from that individual. The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning; not human clones in the form of identical twins, which are commonplace, with their cloning occurring during the natural process of reproduction, by birth.
My thoughts:
Like many scientific phenomenas, human cloning has it's pros and cons. As the pros, exceed the cons; the cons are much more relevant, as they define the truth and the deficiencies of such experiment.
I believe that human cloning will NOT work. I say this (and this is with my religious opinion aside) because when an individual is cloned, the clone is born being the same age as the individual (or doner). Not only would the clone be at severe risk for premature aging and senescence, but the clone would also be at severe risk for developing several diseases and retrovirus. Meaning, the clone would eventually die and not achieve the expected life expectancy of the original donor.
