... This is the question that arises when the issue of cloning is brought up. Cloning is the process where organisms, cells, or microorganisms are copied to produce an almost identical genotype. Today, the topic of cloning generates more arguments than ever created before. “The controversy over cloning is based, in part, on the fact that there are extreme opposing viewpoints on the subject, and that it can help solve organ limitations, cure disease, and take a giant step toward immortality” (Andrew 25).
“Cloning is a very controversial topic and will be for many years to come. ... “This heralded the future of further cloning possibilities and scientists began extensive experiments on cloning, and have since cloned both plants and animals successfully”(Pence 12). The next step was to clone actual human beings but before experiments could be carried out, pressure started to build on the scientists, because people started to doubt if cloning was ethical and morally correct. “The government began to ban and impose constraints on cloning as a result of public pressure. After the cloning of Dolly, President Clinton was quick to cut all federal funding for research of human cloning” (Lester & Hefley, 123).
