Another Chance of Life Can there be another you? The answer is no, but by human cloning you can reproduce an offspring that grows into an exact genetically double of you. All of us want to prolong the lives of our loved ones and have a healthy newborn baby. Many infertility couples wanted to have a baby that is genetically theirs, not from adopting a child from a different family background. In the cloning technology, eggs or sperms would not be needed to be conceived by a person because any cell would do. One parent contributes DNA, making the child almost an identical twin. He or she would differ from the parents much more than identical twins differ from each other. In many parts of the world, human cloning is banned. For example, Canada's new Human Reproductive and Genetics Technologies Act made it illegal to clone human embryos, research on human embryos later than 14 days after conception, and the creation of embryos for research purposes alone. This act will make it more difficult for the estimated 280,000 infertile couplesin Canada to obtain domestic assistance in having a genetic child of their own. Human cloning should not be banned because it has many promising benefits to infertility couples and to the basic research for treatment of various diseases. Most people would not want to clone themselves. Those people think a human clone resembles the person it is made from. The genes do not form our character and so identical twins would never get 100 percent identity because of the experiences and environment for everyone is never exactly the same. "It's a horrendous crime to make a Xerox copy of anyone," argue author and science critic Jeremy Rifkin. The child from cloning is not a copy, but a unique individual. 1.5 million identical twins are far from being identical. They have different brain structures, IQ's, fingerprints, and personalities. The concern is the way people think about cloning. "Its not that anyone thinks there is a commandment, Thou shalt not clone, but there are limits to what humans out to be thinking about doing," said Margaret O' Brien Steinfels of Catholic commonwealth magazine. People fear that cloning will become a tool to copy their greatest players. Now, Germany had developed laws governing the cloning procedures so...
