While the first human clone is no doubt years away, the fact remains that this is an inevitable step for mankind. The medical world would benefit enormously from cloning, including the possible ability to turn cells on and off. This would allow cancer cells to be turned on and off, therefore defeating this disease. The procedure is still questionable, but we will not know if we choose not to proceed with scientific research into human cloning. The reason many scientists and most individuals feel concerned about cloning, is the uncertainty that comes with it.
Cloning is considered by many to be both unethical and immoral.
The bulk of these concerns are inaccurate thoughts based on misleading information given to the public. A human clone would not be an exact copy of the person cloned, but closer to being a younger identical twin. Twins are different individual people in all aspects, biologically, morally, and most importantly legally. Many countries leaders feel that cloning should not happen. After the infamous cloning of Dolly twenty months ago, countries scrambled together enough negativity to ban the research.
