Another reason for the worldwide legalization of cloning, is to not only help infertile couples, but to save the lives of others as well. Through the power of cloning, people who have been permanently disabled can once again have the opportunity to walk among the rest of society. By cloning the embryonic stem cells, they can be injected were the damaged ones once worked. In time the cells will duplicate and rebuild the spinal cord and nervous system so that many quadriplegics and paraplegics may experience life the proper way for a second time. Cloning can also rebuild such structures as skin, organs, and muscle so that the victims of numerous accidents can recover faster. Burn victims can have their skin rebuilt like new as the cloned skin cells replace the old. People who have liver damage can re-grow and renew all the functions that were damaged within.

According to the Human Cloning Foundation, "the average human person carries eight defective genes inside them. Such defective genes allow people to become sick when they ould otherwise remain healthy"(HCF 2). Through cloning, such genes can be removed from the donor cells and as the new clone is created, it is born without any of the genetic defects the other might have carried. Such defective genes, may result in such cases such as down's syndrome, tay-sachs disease, and cystic fibrosis. Any of these diseases can be avoided through the miracle and powers of cloning. As mankind leaves the current millenium and proceeds into the next, many new types of medical epidemics are faced. The biggest and probably most common epidemic is that of the many faces of cancer. Cancer is the mutation of cells through the process of radiation exposure or genetic makeup. Currently there are hundreds of different forms of cancer and none are entirely curable. Cloning may just be the only key to open the door, which contains the cure for cancer. Cloning can remove the cancerous cells, assuming it has not spread throughout the whole body, and be replaced by newly created cells. One last medical reason why cloning is such a promising horizon, is that it also has many benefits in the cosmetic regions. Over the past 30 years, breast implants and other forms of cosmetic surgery have become very popular between hundreds of thousands of women. The drawback of these procedures, however, is that the silicone in the breast implants have had a tendency to leak inside the patients body over time. Because silicon is such an unhealthy substance to introduce to the body, the patients ended up with cancer and made their lives full of illness. Of course now a days, the procedures are safer, but none the less there is still a risk. By applying the power of cloning, material such as bone, fat, tissue, and muscle can be made and placed inside the body. Unlike current breast augmentations, this system will build breast structure with the same person's tissue. "Anyone will able to have their appearance altered to their satisfaction without the leaking of silicone gel into their bodies or the other problems that occur with present day plastic surgery"(HCF 1).

The benefits of cloning not only apply to humans or organs, but to the agricultural society as well. Farmers and ranchers can have the ability to create a perfect herd of cows, bulls, sheep, and basically any other type of farm animal. For example, in Edinburgh, Scotland, the first mammal was cloned on a farm. The infamous "Dolly" was born in February of 1997 and woke up the world to the real power that is available to mankind. Farm animals can be genetically constructed to the point where all the defects are removed and the only the qualities are left. This is an excellent benefit because many of the agricultural problems such as mad cow disease and improper milk concentration can be eliminated so that people will not get sick. By genetically engineering such animals like bulls, it can be arranged so that when the bull reproduces the offspring will share in its perfection.

Along with all the other cloning processes, the most significant, as well as the most controversial, is the idea of cloning humans. This topic, is what many of the people around the world are deathly afraid of. Many people are convinced that there are going to be millions of clones running around and taking over the earth. The reality of the situation, is that everyone is so paranoid and uninformed, that they are creating many false images of the technology at hand. Because the process of cloning is so costly and time consuming, it would literally take decades for the clone population to reach one million. Another fear that the majority of the population has constructed, is that the entity being cloned will not only look the same, but act and think the same as well. This statement is not true by any means. Clones might look exactly the same, but personalities and modes of thought are not genetically linked. For example, if Adolph Hitler was cloned, that does not particularly mean that the clone will want to wipe out the world's minority population. Some benefits rather, would be such things like cloning someone just until the embryonic stage is reached and then extract the needed cells and place them into the original donor to cure the problem at hand. Some pro-life groups will argue, however, that this particular process is the equivalent to an abortion since it is the creation of life and then the destruction before birth. The only problem with that argument, is that the clone never starts to live inside the womb. No heart, lungs, brain, or nervous system, so how can the baby be killed? In the social aspect, human cloning can be very profitable in the entertainment industry. For example, now that such actors as Charleston Heston and Clint Eastwood have reached old age, their acting careers are coming to an end and many of their fans around the world are going to be very disappointed in their departure from the silver screen. Through cloning, an embryo can be placed in the womb of the actor's wife and a time-delayed copy will be born. This does not actually mean that the child will be just as good an actor, but it will turn out just like his father.

With any sort of power, there must also come some sort of regulation so that it is not abused. Currently, the legality of the cloning process around the world is different all over. In the United States, President Clinton has imposed a ban on federal funds for cloning research. This means that any research that is needed, has to be privately funded and have absolutely no connection to the federal government. California and Rhode Island currently have a 5-year moratorium and severe penalties, and Michigan has a permanent ban on any human cloning studies conducted. One of the many worldwide concerns, is the possibility of an evil dictator using the power of cloning for the sole purpose of destruction. Regulations that would limit control over such technology would only work to control whom uses what and when. Even though such regulatory processes are pretty much incapable of working, it is at least some sort of guideline for any government to follow. As it has been clearly proven throughout the previously stated arguments, the many benefits of cloning drastically outweigh the drawbacks and rebuttals addressed. Cloning offers the ability to stop such fatal factors of life such as heart attacks, genetic defects, and even cancer itself. Cloning also can produce the ideal herd of cattle or perfect group of farm animals, which will lead to a healthier produce production. Continue...
