Bringing People Back To Life

The concept of cloning an individual or organ tissue from an individual has played with people's imagination for many years and now it has become a reality. With the latest scientific advancements, people are able to clone tissue from organs to create healthier organs. This opens up the door to many good things and possible bad things. On one hand a sick patient in a hospital that is on a list to receive a new liver could either wait on that list and possibly die or receive an artificially made liver from actual human tissue that was cloned. On the other hand many religious people would say that the scientific environment is now playing god. To put things in prospective, if you were on that waiting list would you say "I don't want the artificial liver, I just want to die" or would you want to live? You would probably want to live, I certainly know I would want to. In some aspects, yes I agree that playing god is wrong, but some scientists goals are to enrich the human life and they are doing just that. Cloning tissue to save a potentially sick person's life I agree with 100 percent, cloning somebody that is deceased to create an exact copy of them is wrong in my opinion. We all live and die, it's our destiny in life, we are all destined to die. It is a fact of life that we must accept. The idea of cloning our deceased corpse makes no sense. There is no logical reason for following such a practice. All in all, to clone or recreate tissue to save a life is a very good idea but to clone for an illogical reason has no place in our society.
