/^t/These achievements seem to be undeniable in value; however, we also have to think of the consequences of cloning availabilities for society as well as for individuals. We cannot deny certain drawbacks that put the idea of the whole experiment in question. Firstly, breeding people just for replacable organs deprives them of a basic human right, namely the right to live. Secondly, just to give an example, not every woman with a gene responsible for breast cancer will suffer from an acatuall disease if the appropriate precautions are taken. Thus the need of eliminating genetic abnormalities through cloning can be doubted. Moreover, the chances of eliminating all uncurable diseases and producing a perfectly healthy human are spare. The slightest mistake in the procedure may result in fatal defects. Playing with genes is not that easy as it may seem and despite an advanced technology, still involves much risk. Thirdly, a duplicated human being, a priceless gift to the infertile couple, may be subconsciously reduced to a status of a product not a geniuine individual. It may also result in complete rejection of family and marriage as necessary for procreation. Fourthly, if cloning Mozart, Van Gogh, Einstein will be possible so will Hitler, Stalin, and Jack the Ripper as well. And besides, it takes more than just to duplicate, to have another Edison. I dare say that if he had been born to a parents of some primitive tribe he would have never invented a light bulb. A genius needs an appropriate environment and attention that trigger into growth whatever talent he posseses.
