Firstly I want to focus your attention on some problem in medicine. Do you know how cloning can help today’s medicine? Of course you know. First, cloned cells could be used to cure incurable diseases, such as cancer.

Well, unless the oncology is still developing sphere of medicine, it is doubtful that we , by "we" I mean "humanity", can start cure cancer immediately.

And I want to add that cloned organs could be used for transplants also to cure incurable diseases. Of course it is sound awful, if we will use clones like kind a treatment for people, but on the other hand medicine system will make a huge step toward immortal future. It can help rejuvenate, reverse heart attacks, infertility, plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, and take away defective genes and many other important benefits. It does this by allowing scientists to remove or create new cells.

Let’s take a look on our environment, it is hard to admit, but the flora and fauna of the earth dies, and practically we can’t do anything significant in order to save extinction species. Cloning will help to restore balance between humanity and nature. And again example with cloned sheep Dolly, it is really useful discovery, because now we slightly know how to clone animal. And with this knowledge we have to move on, and learn how to revive them. Revive what we have destroyed, correct our mistakes, safe our planet.

Well, I'm not sure, how can be balance between humanity and nature can be restored?

Great idea! Perhaps medical science will be able to find the cures for cancer and diabetes.

Due to the first experiments, which were held with Dolly the Sheep, there was high tendency of embryo deaths. Only 1 attempt was successful out of over 270. Thus, it can be applied to humans. And if there will be question of selecting to perform cloning with the costs of human's life, it would be right to not clon one.

Well, your argument is based on ethical consideration, which is also important. Considering this side of the question, it is also unethical to clone people, because choosing the children's personality and making the identical and unique copy of a person can not be ethical.

if we will always fear this deaths, the progress will never appear.

The technique is extremely risky right now. A particular worry is the possibility that the genetic material used from the adult will continue to age so that the genes in a new-born baby clone could be - say - 30 years old or more on the day of birth. Many attempts at animal cloning produced disfigured monsters with severe abnormalities. So that would mean creating cloned embryos, implanting them and destroying (presumably) those that look imperfect as they grow in the womb.

Paster, victims is necessary for humanity to move forward in the science and achieve high results in the future. Now cloning can be abnormal, but in the future it will become something like an everyday occurrence.
