Cloning Is Morally Permissable

Ian Wilmut revealed to the world that he had successfully cloned an adult sheep, Dolly, and had forever changed the realm of science. Since then the cloning of human beings has appeared in UN debates, and White House discussions have begun regarding the ethical implications of cloning.   A poll conducted by ABC News shows that 9 out of 10 Americans believe that it should be illegal to clone humans, which still leaves a surprising number of people thinking that cloning is beneficial. Opponents to human cloning often feel that is unethical to clone human beings often argue that it is immoral for both religious and humanitarian reasons. Moreover, others describe human cloning as a luxury for the wealthy and the brilliant to produce replicas of themselves and as a tool for Organ Market Development.   Conversely, I feel that cloning is immoral and a bad idea for the following reasons.
If the production of human clones becomes reality, then there will be an inevitable influx of clones being produced. Such is the human nature, no matter how many people try to believe that cloning is something that will be used to create duplicates of people who will be useful to the world, the reality is that there are always going to be people who will exploit the system. The only way to prevent this catastrophe would be to outlaw human cloning, and to justify its banning, repercussions for its creation should be predicted in order to deter scientists from letting this happen. One such repercussion is the fact that cloning may have harmful effects on the population. Producing many clones runs the risk of creating a population that is entirely the same; this population would be susceptible to the same diseases, would have an identical gene pool and could be annihilated in one blow. A single disease that effects one person in this hypothetical population, can affect every single other person in the population. However, less drastic but more probable events could occur from lack of genetic...
