If we had clones, we would give people a chance. If there was a couple who couldn’t have a child but wanted one, they could clone the father or mother and have a clone baby. It gives people life. It’s a step forward in technology, so why can’t we clone? We’ve done so many things, like find cures for harmful diseases, so why can’t we clone?

Cloning people can bring upon the end of the world because with too many people on the earth we will run out of natural resources. Clones can steal the identity of the original organism. Clones can be used to commit crimes. Cloning is dangerous and should not be done, it is bad!

Cloning is wrong. Imagine that you, a fully functioning human being, as born in this world as nothing more than an organ farm. People think using clones for organs is ok, but would you like to be created only to get your kidney cut out? No. How is doing medical experiments on a clone any different than doing it to people? A clone is a person, a copy of one.

The world is overpopulated as it is. To put it simply, the world already has problems with hunger, thirst, and providing the basic needs for life in a large portion (部分)of the world. There really is not a valid benefit to this. If anything, it is creating another life/person that could potentially have a horrible life and be treated very poorly.

The transition from old fuels to new will be slow, as will the development of new technologies that present feasible alternatives to fossil fuels or help eliminate food and water problems. All current technologies are inadequate, and new ones will probably not be commercially possible by 2025
