Persuasive Essay Example: Human Cloning Should Be Banned

Recently cloning humans has been a debatable topic and has been argued between scientist every single day. Though the most humane answer is to outlaw cloning humans in the U.S. I find it hard to understand why this topic is debated on, and why many people do not see the flaws of cloning humans. 

There are plenty of downsides to cloning and one of them is aging. Reading and watching informative movies and shows on cloning has led me to learn that cloning has a side effect on aging. When cloning someone the clone will have a shorter lifespan due to the fact that the original is older, and you are cloning older DNA. This a major flaw and a person should not be forced into dying faster than normal people.

They may also have other flaws like health disorders or mental illnesses. You will not be able to tell till after the process, but clones more likely have a chance of that happening to them since they do not have their own DNA. Putting a baby through this is inhumane and should be outlawed everywhere. 

There is no reason to clone humans, and you can instead clone endangered animals. Many people think it is cruel to clone animals too, but when a species is endangered due to human involvement the last option would be to clone the endangered species. Human cloning is not right and even though it is theoretical it is still possible. That is why we should ban cloning now before people start cloning humans for “warfare” or “labor”.

Cloning humans should be indisputable and outlawed soon, or someone with the wrong mind might get their hands on cloning. We should not make humans just for someone else’s use, and instead use it for animals who are dying out because of us. Cloning is not a toy and needs to be prohibited immediately.
