begins-something that is not certain to become a reality anyway-many disasters can arise. Deformed human life, or human life with other difficulties, may come forth as scientists try to make
something that can only come from natural biological methods. Many argue that if cloning is possible, someone will do it anyway, despite government laws or
sanctions. However, cloning is certainly something that governments do not want to encourage for a multitude of reasons. Some of those pertain to abuses, or accidents. And while it is
true that there is an immense downside, it should be noted that there are reasons to clone, including the improvement of health and well being for the future of mankind.
Still, the obstacles seem to outweigh the benefits and so cloning of human beings should not be allowed. II. Political Implications
There are a variety of political implications if cloning is allowed to be conducted. The first is that many unscrupulous nations might use the technology for evil. One can conceive
of a nation, or individual, cloning a living or dead political leader for its own purposes. While these ideas are far-fetched, it is known that other nations have engaged in
the creation of weaponry that includes biological agents. If other countries have the technology to clone human beings, they could in fact use it to their own ends, putting other
nations in jeopardy. Another political implication is that cloning will minimize the sacred nature of human life and individual rights. The idea that every human life
possesses equal intrinsic value despite genetic, social or other conditions, hinges on the defining of the uniqueness of an individual (Mayor 33). Cloning would therefore remove the uniqueness that makes
