CLONING CAN ONLY BE REAL IN SCIENCE FICTION MOVIES

Due to the science fiction movies, cloning is a very popular topic these days. It could be claimed that cloning will be a positive development in science and it is a must for some health problems. Nevertheless, there are lots of disadvantages of having a clone of yourself. One will not be special and unique anymore, people will be aimless if there is another person to do their tasks, and there will not be enough food or water for both the clones and the people.

·         Cloning is not necessary for transplantation.

It may be asserted that cloning humans can be beneficial for human health and transplantation. However, cloning only the organ that is needed would be enough. Think of a person who is really sick and needs a transplantation: If that person has a clone who is very healthy, people might think that the “sick person” is not needed anymore. This may lead to a horrible conclusion for the “real” person who needs help. Instead of cloning yourself, you should be peaceful, should do the necessary treatments, should believe in yourself that you are going to defeat that illness and should not be stressed. If just the necessary organ is cloned, you would be healthy and happy again. Do not allow your “healthy” clones to steal your valuable life.

·         People will not be special and unique if they have their own clones.

First of all, everyone in the World is unique and special. Even if one has an identical twin, he/she has different thoughts, actions, reactions, aims, dreams, occupations and friends. These differences make us unique and special. If each person had a clone of himself/herself, this uniqueness would disappear. The clone might take our lives from us. They could steal our jobs, aims, dreams, friends, family and any other important thing in our lives. Can anybody imagine how bad this circumstance would be? Your whole life would be gone in a very short time, every piece of it. If cloning people was real, each person would be sad, frightened, lonely and aimless for the rest of their lives. Being unique and special, being able to control our lives on your own is a precious gift.  

·         Most of the people will not do their responsibilities if there is a clone to do them.

Many people think that having a copy of yourself would be perfect. People imagine that they would not have to do their tasks anymore if there is a person to do it. Although they think that they would watch movies and surf on the Internet all day long, this is not likely to happen. Your “lazy” clone might live a life that you are dreaming at the very moment. While you are working for hours under really hard conditions with very little sleep, he/she might go to the cinema, hang out with your “cloned” friends, and sleep until the noon. Furthermore, he/she might complain about that you are not earning enough money for him/her. Additionally, he/she may also criticize you for each action you do. While you were dreaming about having a slave, you would become a slave. There is another possible condition. He/she might become your slave. However, imagine that you are only watching movies for thirty years. You would finally be bored, depressed, aimless, lazy and become a sad and desperate person. Your “slave” clone would also rebel and there would be a huge chaos in the World. Instead of trying to have a “slave” clone, one should plan his/her life with both working and fun activities. No one needs a clone to be happy.

·         The Earth will not be able to withstand if most of the people have their own clones.

In total, there are eight billion people living on the Earth and we all know that there will be some food and water shortages very soon. If everyone in the world had a clone of himself/herself, there would be sixteen billion people who needs food, water, oxygen, place to live, jobs, education, family, happiness. Is it really possible that the Earth could withstand with this horrible situation? We all know the answer is “no”. There would be enormous wars in order to kill the half of the population. There are several scenarios, which are all very terrifying. Clones could defeat the “real” humans, humans could defeat their clones whom people paid lots of money for create them -which might lead to an economic crisis-, people who are financially strong could be united with their clones and kill most of the people -eventually, the clones and the wealthy people would argue for everything for the rest of their lives, which is not a pleasant condition-. As a result, there are no space for the clones in the world.

In conclusion, cloning humans is the worst idea that is ever thought about. No one needs a clone in order to be happy. Cloning people is not a good solution for anything. Nobody would be special and unique, our lives could be stolen, there could be food and water shortages and these dreadful situations would lead to a huge chaos. People should not clone the whole person but only the necessary organs for transplantation. Do not forget that having a copy of yourself would make your life awful.
