Cloning is when you remove the nucleus of an egg and replace it with a donor cell, which means the newborn animal is an exact copy of another animal genetically. There can be genetic copies in nature such as twins. But scientists also artificially clone animals and are working on a project to clone humans, here are some reasons why human cloning should be illegal.



Cloning doesn't always work for example the Spanish ibex went extinct in 2000 after the last one was killed by a falling tree. But another was cloned in 2009 but died shortly after birth due to a lung defect. The same thing could happen to humans and then even more of us would die than before, maybe even leading to our extinction.


Dolly, the sheep was the first sheep to be cloned and had premature arthritis that was probably past down from the donor cell, so that would mean we would have to find someone in perfect health with no problems internally or externally



Also, cloning removes individuality, leaving every clone the same person with no different personalities. Do you want everyone to be exactly the same, no different specialties, do you want a world like that?




Cloning just isn't right we shouldn't mess with nature any more than we already have so that I believe human cloning should be banned.
