Benefits of Human Cloning

There are many reasons why we should clone, one of them would be rejuvenation,Dr. Richard Seed, one of the leading advocates of human cloning technology, is optimistic that by cloning, in the future it might be possible to overturn the ageing process. Cloning might also lead to a cure for cancer, if scientists are able to understand how cells turn off and on. Since the way in which cells differentiate is still an area which scientists have not been able to discover or why cells which are infected by cancer lose their differentiation. Also another would be the ability to reduce the number of heart attacks, where by scientists think that by injecting cloned healthy heart cells into the places where the patient's heart is damaged, they could could treat the patients. Also one of the biggest arguments for human cloning is for treating infertility, if cloning does go ahead as planned, it might be able to help infertile couples to have children.
