Cloning is no longer science fiction. We already have cloned animals already. The only thing stopping scientist from cloning humans is ethics. Since the start of civilization man has been obsessed with prolonging his life. This search had led us to stem cell research. Unfortunately, this has also opened the door to human cloning. The best alternative to cloning might be in the research on adult stem cell.

Stem cells are the building blocks of our bodies. They can literally transform into any organ of your body. The goal of this research is to use stem cells to replace damaged organs. In layman’s term, it’s like getting a replacement for your car using ONLY factory issued parts. That means, like a car, your body will not reject parts made by itself. The study of stem cells leads us into two ways: clone a body to harvest stem cells or cajole your body to produce more stem cells. When you are born, your body already has a fixed amount of stem cells. These stem cells are called adult stem cells. Using adult stem cells to produce the needed “spare parts” is accepted more by the public than cloning.
