Idea Ultimate: Cloning

Should we continue developing cloning technology?

1. YES

  1. Cloning can be used to cure currently incurable diseases.
  2. Scientists believe they can clone cells to help people in wheelchairs walk again.
  3. It could solve fertility problems. Many couples cannot have a biological child for certain reasons. They would be able to use their own genes to create a child.

  5. It could be used to clone endangered species and restore ecological balance.
  6. Scientists could clone livestock to end world hunger.

  8. Cloning body parts can become a life-saver. When a crucial body organ such as kidney or heart fails to perform its normal functions, it can be replaced with a cloned organ substitute.
