Cloning for the good of mankind?

Are we attempting to play God?

It’s  apparent that the idea of cloning has been at an exponential increase.  And now it’s made history in the category of the first commercial cloning.  South Korean biotechnologists have cloned a pitbull terrier with the genetic material salvaged from it’s frozen ears.  Quite an advancement for science.

But what was the story behind this epic event?  Bernann Mckinney, a former starlet paid these South Korean scientists $50,000 to clone her deceased dog Booger.  I’m not sure whether to be disgusted behind the motivation of these scientists or to be completely astounded that some idiot would be $50,000 to bring her dead dog ” back to life”.

However, because of this I really do hope South Korean scientists will consider cloning things that are more necessary to humans..such as organs.  Some may argue that cloning should never come across anyone’s mind because we are human, not God.

I’m not so sure that I agree with that- but I know that numerous people would set their ethics aside to save a life by creating these clones of organs.

Then again the power of cloning could be abused. Whose to write the rules and regulations of what’s to be cloned and the reasoning behind it?
