Although the practise of cloning organisms has been widespread for several thousands of years in the form of horticular cloning, the recent technological advancements that have allowed for cloning of animals, and potentially humans have been highly controversial. Many religious groups oppose all forms of cloning, including potentially life saving, cloning of individual organs, on the grounds that life begins at conception. Concerns also exist regarding the protection of the identity of the individual and the right one has to protect their genetic identity.

To be able to clone the vital organs (heart, lungs) would
totally eliminate the fear of rejection in organ transplant.
I don't think it's a good idea to clone a whole person,
even thou, as time & enviroment change, I don't think
you would ever get an exact replica.
Actually, for an exact clone, you would need the exact mother,
at her exact same age, as the time she conceived. So this
is, most likely, an impossibility.

Cloning vital organs could be really helpful in Medicine but cloning a human is completely unnecessary. I think that we shouldn't accept it, but that's just my opinion ..

In the early 1990s, US Sen. Tom Harkin (D) IA suggested the US begin cloning humans at once. "Imagine an Army of Rambo's" he said. The obvious inference is that the clones would do our dirty work for us, so real ppl wouldn't have to fight. hmm?
