Molecular cloning is a set of experimental methods in molecular biology that are used to assemble recombinant DNA molecules and to direct their replication within host organisms
benefits:
• It will help in medical emergencies. If a person needs replacement of any organ, she or he need not go through the uncertainty of the waiting period. There could also not be a better match, as the clone is an exact copy of a person’s DNA, so chances of rejection are almost zero.
• There are innumerable health benefits for the human race-age reversal, preventing heart attacks, correcting defective genes, preventing Down’ syndrome etc.
disadvantages:
• The existing population, which is large enough as it is, will explode. There are insufficient resources to support the residents of the world; adding clones to the population would make things worse.
• The financial repercussions could be huge. Even if there are several health benefits, it might remain out of reach of people who are not financially sound enough to afford it. This will tilt things in the favor of a rich few.
