Why is Human Cloning so controversial?

Question

I'm very interested in this. I think that cloning humans is a good thing, and that using embryos and stuff isn't really a moral issue. What do you think? What are both sides of the story? Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

I think it would it freak me out to see another me walking down the street. But if you're talking about stem-cell research to cure diseases, I think it's fine...If through that we can find a way to help the people who are sick, then I think we should do it.  

Answer 2

Mainly because of politics and religion; many believe it is interfering with God's work and some think it is immoral. It has the potentials to be abused by racists. It also could have adverse effect on the population. It's long term effect on nature is not known.
