Cloning is the process of deriving an organism or a group of cells from another organism or from a single cell asexually. Members of a clone are identical in their inherited characteristics.

Human cloning can be done in similar fashion.

It has three steps:

i. The targeted gene in the cell will first have to be isolated. In the human being there are 100000 different genes in a cell.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

ii. The isolated gene which is chemically the fragment of a DNA can be introduced into a different living organism.

iii. There are ways to ensure that the recipient accepts the donor gene and inherits its property.

Whether the cloning of human beings can be ethically justified is now firmly on national moral agenda, it is inherently evil, a morally unjustifiable intrusion into human life. It will augment bad consequences for the individual and society both. Even otherwise its success would serve no purpose even scientifically. Loss of races and human diversity, ethnic, social psychological and emotional problem will come up.
