Possible Benefits Cloning May Offer
We shall now explore the possible benefits that cloning could bring to all of us. There are many ways in which in which human cloning is expected to benefit mankind. This new technology could be the beginning of a new medical era where organs can be produced in mass quantity leaving the suffering of many that are awaiting an organ transplant of some kind or have suffered sever burns causing disfigurement. In these cases new organs or skin could be produced that could be used to replace the damaged organ or skin.
Why should another child die from leukemia when if the technology is allowed we should be able to cure it in a few years time?
There are so many opportunities that could be taken to make so many people’s lives a more enjoyable, longer and happier experience.
I will now go on to talking about the possibilities of cloning and also give a couple of scenarios for you to think about that should open your mind and views on such a delicate and often strongly opposed subject.
Dr. Richard Seed, one of the leading researchers of human cloning technology has said that it may someday be possible to reverse the ageing process due to what we have learned from human cloning. While it sounds nice that someday it maybe possible to live forever there is a problem with it, the world is already getting over populated so maybe this isn’t such a benefit, but none the less some would believe this is.
For example world leaders could be preserved as a living person and carry on doing their job that they excel in so much.
Reversing heart attacks
This is something that has already been tried out in living humans today, basically cloned heart cells are injected into the damaged areas inside the heart. Once done the theory is that the new cells will repair or take the place of the damaged cells regenerating the tissue and muscle and thus making the risk of heart failure much lower. Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States and is also a large killer here in the UK.

If we are able to clone human cells for the heart it could and will eventually be...
