To Clone or not To Clone – That is the Question

Cloning is the ultimate breakthrough that scientists have achieved in the field of biotechnology. It is really stunning that the brilliance of man has succeeded in decoding the entire human genome. The technology of cloning has established the fact that man can himself create life from a single cell. This has raised one of the most controversial issues of all time.
The giant leaps made by man in the field of genetics have raised profound moral questions that strike at the very core of our humanity. Human cloning opens up a new horizon of myriad possibilities, highly beneficial if used properly, yet monstrous if misused. What was formerly science fiction as presented in the famous novel ‘Brave New World’ has become a reality in our time. It is indeed a paradox that the same technology can alleviate human suffering, as well as produce inhuman results.
