Group Discussions (2) 2. Should Humans be cloned? Due to the inefficiency of animal cloning and the lack of understanding about this technology, I’m strongly against it. Not only do most attempts to clone mammals fail, several cloned animals have died prematurely from infections. Moreover, we don’t know how cloning could impact mental development, which is crucial for the development of healthy humans. With so many unknowns concerning reproductive cloning, the attempt to clone humans at this time is considered potentially dangerous and ethically irresponsible. Comprehension of the Text (1) 1.
