Some people do not think it should take place because they believe that cloning is very dangerous for the humans and animals involved; they believe that the technology used in the cloning process is harmful to those involved, as well (Quinonez 1). For example, cloning may put them at a higher risk of developing genetic defects; it may cause premature aging, which would, in turn, lead to premature death (Quinonez 1). On the other hand, those that are oppose to cloning need to take into consideration that the technology used is relatively new and is still developing. It is obvious to note that the technology would have made mistakes and would not have worked one-hundred percent correctly the first time used. As researchers get more accustomed to the technology, they will be able to make improvements to it; this will, in turn, make the process of cloning a lot safer. This will help to lessen a person’s chances of getting genetic defects and other side effects, as well. Therefore, as improvements are made to the cloning process, the technology used will become much safer; this will allow more people to become advocates for human and animal …show more content…
Cloning, therefore, should not be permitted for nonmedical purposes. One significant reason why cloning should not be done for nonmedical reasons is that it will eventually lead to the overpopulation of humans and animals (Rawat 1). If scientists are constantly cloning new organisms, then every human or animal would have to compete with each other for space and resources. As a result, survival of the fittest would take place. In simpler terms, only the dominant, well-adapted individuals would survive and the inferior ones would die off. Cloning would ultimately, “put acute pressure on natural resources and
