This has caused much debate round the world. On the one hand, some scientists point out that if you clone an embryo, you can produce valuable human tissues—such as bone or lung tissue—that could be used to save human lives. On the other hand, many people, including some scientists, disagree and are afraid that, if mankind toys with nature in this way, we may be on our way to producing a real-life Frankenstein's monster. Cloning is producing an exact copy of a plant or an animal using its cells. The first mammal to be cloned successfully from an adult cell was Dolly the sheep. She was bom in 1996 and died in early 2003, at a much younger age than normal. When she was born, many people were worried that cloning would lead to more diseases in the animal world. However, in general the scientists were praised for their wonderful scientific advance. Ian Wilmut, the Scottish scientist who created Dolly, is shocked that some i scientists are now considering cloning human beings. Although he researches cloning, his intention has never been to create copies of humans. Instead, he thinks research efforts should concentrate on creating new tissues and organs that can be used to cure diseases like cancer. However, some people believe that cloning human embryos with the Intention of destroying them shows no I respect for human life. Even though human cloning is causing a lot of anxiety, it is good news for Faye Wilson, a 41-year-old saleswoman who cannot have a baby. ‘1 am anxious to have a child of my own,' she says. ’1 don't want to adopt someone else's child— if 1 had the chance, 1 would have a cloned baby right now.' While cloning human embryos is not legal in many countries, some scientists are already pushing ahead with research in order to produce a cloned human baby. Severino Antinori, an Italian physician, has declared that he wants to be the first to clone a human being. In China, scientists have focused their efforts on cloning animals, as well as )cloned tissues to be used in medical treatment. China has succeeded in producing clones of cows and goats, and continues to research ways in which cloning can benefit mankind. Dear Editor 1 believe that human cloning is wrong. If we toy with nature, we will have to deal with the consequences. Who knows what could happen? Human life would just become a crop to be harvested or a product for sale. The human race is using up the Earth’s natural wealth. We should be having fewer babies in order to reduce the Earth's population, not cloning more. I Jed sorry for the lady who cannot have a baby, but I would like to point out that there are many children in the world with no parents who would be delighted to have a mother. Pauline Carter Dear Editor I would like to comment on your article, ‘The perfect copy'. I think the scientific advances mentioned in your article are fantastic! I am in complete agreement with human cloning. After all, scientists have been challenging moral ideas for centuries. Why should we stop them now? On a personal note, cloning would totally transform my life. Seven years ago, my 10-yeat-old daughter died of heart failure. She was beautiful, cheerful and bright. I miss her every single day. If I had the chance, I would clone her immediately so that I could be with her again. Colin Jake
