Ethical and Social Issues of Cloning

If people clone things there is always a question of who its parents are. Things could get a little confusing if more than one of the same person are around. The only ways to tell them apart would be from their personalities, and maybe their ages. Cloning would give little children problems with deciding which ones are their parents. Family problems is the major issue with cloning something. Cloning interferes with the beliefs of some religions. They would question whether or not God would put a soul into a body that has the same form and image, that someone has already taken.

My belief is that humans should not be cloned ever. This is because a human has a spirit and he/she should be treated with respect. Some people might take advantage of cloning technology, clone people and raise them as slaves. In some circumstances cloning could help society. For example; if someone owned a ranch and used the cattle to make beef, they could clone cows so their beef sales would go up, and it would be easier to support their families. The topic of cloning has been debated for years. I assume it will be argued much longer.
