"Human therapeutic cloning could provide genetically identical cells for regenerative medicine, and tissues and organs for transplantation. Such cells, tissues, and organs would neither trigger an immune response nor require the use of immunosuppressive drugs."
This quote, from Bootstrike.com, explains how cloning is beneficial and the ways it can help the world. This website explains different future technologies and tries to answer possible questions that people would have about a new biomedical science topic.

"Reproductive cloning is a very inefficient technique and most cloned animal embryos cannot develop into healthy individuals. For instance, Dolly was the only clone to be born live out of a total of 277 cloned embryos. This very low efficiency, combined with safety concerns, presents a serious obstacle to the application of reproductive cloning."
This quote, from the National Human Genome Research Institute, shows some of the drawbacks of cloning. This website gives some education and research about the different biomedical topics that come up in the science world. They do a good job explaining the different issues that arise in these topics.

"The author critiques one of the most commonly used ethical justifications for cloning laws – the idea that reproductive cloning necessarily infringes notions of human dignity. He points out that there is, in fact, little consensus on point and that the counter arguments are rarely reflected in formal policy."
This quote, from BMC Medical Ethics author Timothy Caulfield, shows that he thinks cloning overshadows our human dignity. He thinks people need to keep their dignity and not having it be taken away because of these new ways of cloning humans.

"The focus will be the ethical notion of ‘human dignity’: what constitutes a life lived with dignity and how might this be threatened or undermined by cloning technology? The argument presented here is that in the ethical debate on cloning, human dignity must be understood in relation to a notion of mystery, and the capacity of this mystery to both encourage and undermine the moral value of human life."
This quote, from the Social and Legal Studies journal, shows that this article also doesn't agree with human cloning. The author argues that cloning takes away some of our human dignity and that we can't let it. It's the one thing we need to keep.

Pathos:
The bottom poem, "The Differences In Diversity" written by Liberty Anne, talks about our own uniques and why we shouldn't frown upon our differences. This poem shows that we are all human and identical but all unique in our own ways. I chose this poem because it shows why being unique in our persoanlity, our look, religion, or even our culture is important and we need to keep this diversity. This realtes to cloning because cloning is producing an identical product of something. This doesnt create much diversity in our world and the world would be very borning if we all were the same. That is what Anne is trying to say in her poem, that we need to be all different and that we shouldn't ridicule others if they aren't the same as us. Diversity is good so we should embrace not eliminate it by cloning.
The Differences In Diversity
They say that no two snowflakes are alike.
Yet, in theory, they are the same.
They are snowflakes; identical.
Nonetheless, each one is unique.
Likewise, no person is alike.
And yet, we are the same.
We are human; identical.
Nevertheless, diversely unique.
We take pride in the diversity.
Of these white-winged, winter wonders from the sky.
And yet, we frown upon the beings, the humans.
That are different from us.
Aren't we all just like the winter white angels?
Identical in species.
Yet each of us unique.
In our own beautiful and wonderful way?
I ponder to myself.
The very question.
Of the difference in diversity.
And how we perceive and treat it.
Why do we adore the pretty patterns.
Of the winter white from the sky.
Yet we ridicule and frown upon.
The individuality in other people?
Why do we take pride.
In how different snowflakes are.
While we shamelessly mock the differences.
In our own kind?

This image is a graph representing why many humans are against human cloning worldwide. It also highlights at the major concerns of cloning.
This chart shows how people believe that genetic research will occur in a more positive manner. 64 percent of people believe cloning will happen.
Con Stats: The success rate ranges from 0.1 percent to 3 percent, which means that for every 1000 tries, only one to 30 clones are made.
Out of 277 attempts at cell fusion, only 29 began to divide. These were all implanted in ewes. Thirteen became pregnant but only one lamb, Dolly, was born.
These stats represent the negative aspects of human cloning and how it can be very unsuccessful. They show how human cloning is not reliable.
Pro Stats:
Since 1997, gradual improvements in cloning technology have enabled researchers to generate mouse, cattle, goat, pig, deer, rabbit, cat, mule, and horse clones.
This stat show the positive aspect of human cloning. With the current technology of human cloning, humans have been to able to clone many different animals to aid in scientific research.
