Human cloning will lead to a new form of racism
While it may seem like a step towards advancing medicine, science, and technology, it will only breed racism and confusion. It’s a difficult concept that will open a new door for racism in a world that already suffers from it.
Human cloning is medically unsafe and unethical
Technology has only gone so far with animal cloning, which has proved to have slim chances of success and can be seen as unethical. Science and medicine are not advanced enough to clone humans. Going a step further with humans would prove dangerous to the human being cloned.
