Human Cloning- A Far-Fetched Idea or a Genetic Disaster?

The world is a natural heritage where everything is revolving in a balanced way. The whole universe is moving in a way that is not disturbing the flow of life, the stars, the moon, the planets, seasons, and the process of life and death. But when something disrupts the nature of this cycle, the outcome of that will be seen in the world as a whole. With the evolution of science, man has made and produced things that people were not aware of. However, with every advantage comes its drawbacks and disadvantages. Similarly, the process of human cloning was once a farfetched idea but now has become a genetic disaster for humans. But, many oppose this and talk in favor of human cloning, mostly those who can afford it. However, if one looks at all the aspects of human cloning, then it is a genetic disaster. To create or not to create is the question. Do they serve the human race by human cloning? This chapter has been devised to answer this question and to elaborate on the ethical concerns that arise out of human cloning experiments. The purpose is to make the reader aware of the sensitivity of this medical topic and to elaborate on what limitations could be there to deal with in such medical procedures.
