As is known to us all, cloning is not a new word now. However, human cloning has caused much debate.
Some people hold the view that cloning is a great breakthrough in science, which can be used to save people's lives. What's more, it is good news for those who can't have babies. However, others hold the opposite opinion. They think human cloning goes against nature and leads to a lot of trouble. For example, if we can really clone humans, who can guarantee their legal rights?
As far as I am concerned, we should apply this technology to medical research. Only when we use it in a proper way can we get a good consequence.
