Firstly, I would like to discuss about the advantages of the process. Basically, the main theme behind the process of cloning is to improve man's life and serve humanity. Due to ever increasing population there's a possibility that the supply of food and resources might have a shortage. By cloning, better yields of plants and animals can be produced which could supply enough food for all population as those ones are being reproduced again and again.

Cloning can improve a person's health. In the present day, we are being attacked by numerous diseases like diabetes, Parkinson's and Cystic Fibrosis. As life stock can...
