Lately, technology and science in various fields of human life has developed so rapidly. The development was also occurring in the field of health and biology. It was good when it is used to support human life. However, such developments occur rapidly opened up a new world of human beings to take control in biological engineering, cloning. Humans are now able to manipulate life in the lab and open the gateway to what is called "A Brave New World".
Human Cloning
Cloning first gained worldwide attention when a Nobelis Joshua Lederberg, wrote about the prospect of human cloning. He said that the reproductive cloning of human beings can control and generate superior genes and many other advantages. His assessment is based on the successful trial of asexual reproduction in frogs.

However, there are also many questions about the moral status of cloning it. Is cloning can simply be accepted and implemented? Is the control over human reproduction does not conflict with human values? These questions are supported by a number of technological and cultural developments that are morally ambiguous. Technological developments also make a lot of changes in the human understanding of family relationships. Technology enables people to create a lot of new family forms so that an understanding of the natural family relations into chaos.
There are many problems that arise.
- Sexual revolution: free sex not for procreation. If sex is not for procreation, then descent should not be obtained from sexual intercourse. Thought it sharpens the understanding of the meaning of human procreation and sexuality.
- Feminisime and gay rights movement: if men and women are complementary and generative effect, then the baby does not have to be present through the union of ovum and sperm. So monogamy is considered as being the ideal place procreation would not be so regarded in our cultural norms. To that end, cloning would be the last option: single parents. Thought it sharpens the understanding of gender equality.
- Through cloning produced the desired child. It examines the general understanding that the child is a child born desired. This kind of thinking is used to oppose abortion and contraception.
- With modern thinking and individualism man trying to form individual self: not only as a self-made man but also manmade selves. Humans no longer think that it is solely determined by tradition and ancestry.

it's actually pretty chilling to imagine technology that could clone. Even though now there are those who say that cloning has been successful in animals, but if it is done in humans it will be extraordinary, but it is also terrible to see from the negative side, let alone wrong in its use.
