    Cloning technology can be said to be a major symbol of modern science, on July 5, 1996, the world's first cloned sheep Dolly was born, which marks a great progress in human science and technology, but then there are many social problems. The development of science has two sides, and while it shocks mankind, it also embodies social problems that cannot be ignored. Cloning was a buzzword a few years ago, but why don't people talk about it anymore?

    Dolly the cloned sheep can be said to be a big star in the society at that time, Dolly's birth is dependent on three female sheep, such a cloning method encountered a lot of problems, at that time scientists thought that Dolly may not be born successfully, even if it can be born will face a lot of diseases. Unexpectedly, Dolly broke the cognition of mankind, although Dolly only lived for about 6 years, it can be said to be a miracle in the cloning world. One wonders why humans rarely mention the word cloning after Dolly's death.

    It turns out that cloning faces far more problems than we thought.

    Dolly's life was plagued by illness.

    Although Dolly lived for 6 years, his life was plagued by illness. Soon after it was born, it contracted many diseases, and at the age of 6, when the sheep was in its prime, it died of a lung infection. In addition to Dolly, scientists have also cloned other animal individuals, without exception, all of them suffered the same fate as Dolly, not only suffering from many diseases, but also showing symptoms of aging at the beginning of their lives.

    As a result, cloning is still an immature technology, so many people don't talk about it anymore.

    The ethical issues faced by human cloning.

    When cloned sheep were first born, humans envisioned the future of cloned humans, but because of the various moral issues they faced, they were ultimately rejected by scientists. Clones are the same as humans, once they are born, they enjoy all kinds of resources of society, they are the same as yours in appearance, body shape, and even genes, how to distinguish them in society, this has become a big problem. What kind of rights human beings should enjoy and how to establish their status in society cannot be ignored, so cloning technology has slowly faded out of human vision.

    Is it possible to clon organs?

    Although human cloning has always been a topic that people avoid talking about, with the advancement of medical technology, the idea of cloning organs has been proposed. Nowadays, human beings are no longer so panicked in the face of some large-scale diseases, but some large-scale surgeries still require organ donation, and today's organ donation situation is very serious.

    The development of science is full of unknowns, we must look at it with a dialectical eye, the emergence of a technology must be accompanied by controversy, if human beings can grasp the scale, maybe cloning technology will benefit mankind in the future, what do you think?

    Because cloning violates the laws of nature to a certain extent, although it can promote the development of human beings, it is also easy to violate moral problems, and the cloned dolly life is relatively short, and there are many diseases.

    There are advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that cloning can replace our sick organs, the disadvantage is that it is difficult to distinguish between human cloning and ontology, and there will be many hidden dangers if the cloning technology is immature.

    Cloning provides a lot of technical conditions for the development of medicine, but the cloning technology is not perfect, there are certain risks and uncertainties, such as cloning sheep Dolly is plagued by diseases all his life, so people rarely mention it.

    Because I think it's not only a test of technology, but it can also be a moral offense to human beings. Although cloning can promote the development of certain human undertakings to a certain extent, it is clearly contrary to the laws of nature.

    Cloning experiments should be a great step forward in terms of individual organs. But human cloning has not been promoted because it does not solve ethical and moral problems. But the experiments should not have stopped completely.

    However, every time the experiment of human cloning is announced, it will inevitably arouse strong reactions and opposition from society and academic circles.

    Because "cloning" technology will reduce the diversity of things, it will cause the extinction of species and destroy the ecological balance; On the other hand, the relaxation of "cloning" technology raises ethical questions.

    Cloning will reduce genetic variation, and the individuals created by cloning will have the same genes, the same disease sensitivities, and one disease can destroy the entire population created by cloning. It is conceivable that if a country's herd were all cloned from the same thing, a minor virus could destroy the country's livestock industry. 2) The use of cloning technology will make people inclined to reproduce the most useful individuals in the existing population, rather than promoting the survival of the fittest in the whole population according to the laws of nature.

    In this sense, cloning technology interferes with natural evolutionary processes. 3) Cloning technology is an expensive technology that requires a lot of money and the involvement of biological professionals, and the failure rate is very high. Dolly was the only result of 277 experiments.

    Although more advanced technologies have been developed, the success rate is only 2-3%. 4) Genetically modified animals increase the risk of disease transmission. For example, if a cow that produces medicated milk is infected with a virus, the virus may infect the patient through milk.5) The application of cloning techniques to humans will result in artificial control of the genetic traits of the offspring.

    At the heart of the debate about cloning technology is the possibility of genetic manipulation of early human embryos. This is unacceptable to many ethicists. 6) Cloning can also be used to create "superhumans", or people with strong physiques but low intelligence.

    Moreover, if cloning can be used effectively in humans, males will lose their genetic significance.
