Generally, scientists shouldn't continue the practice of cloning otherwise they will eventually lose control. Destroying embryos that could possibly become humans shouldn't be sacrificed over and over again since they will continue to fail. Not only that, but the clones end up becoming too unhealthy/fragile to work with and if people or animals are cloned while having undesirable traits, then we could have more serial killers, terrorists, etc. If the practice of cloning continues then scientists will continue to take all of these risks which will create unsuccessful/unhealthy clones.

The practice of cloning is malicious and should be put to rest before scientists lose control/stability. These scientists don't allow people to acknowledge how cloning involves the destruction of human embryos, the high chances of an unhealthy clone, and the possibility of creating organisms with undesirable traits.

According to scientists, 95% of the produced clones have been unsuccessful due to stillbirths, miscarriages, etc. It''s estimated that it could take more than 100 pregnancies until a successful clone is produced. On the other hand, successful clones typically face multiple health and aging issues. For example, the aging process has been confirmed to speed up for clones since it uses the base information from adult cells which could consist of specific timelines. This kind of base information could enhance the aging process which could lead to clones passing away at an earlier age (can't handle such development at once). Not only that, but a majority of the clones experience issues revolving around their skin, blood vessels, heart, liver, and etc. If such parts of the body aren't carrying out their intended purposes, then the clone will be at risk for developing more diseases. All of these health issues eventually lead into clones having a less efficient immune system. When a male and a female of the same species put their genes together, this forms new combinations that give their offspring a high chance in developing a defense towards diseases. On the other hand, this is only the case for sexually reproduced offspring rather than clones which is why it's the clones who will be at risk for more diseases.

Even though cloning could use cells to clone humans with positive traits, it could also end up producing people with bad qualities. If people or animals with inefficient genes get cloned, then this could result in more diseases spreading through the human race (physically and mentally). Not only that, but since people are capable of leaving cells everywhere they go, this could result in certain individuals collecting the cells and using them for malicious purposes. They could clone terrorists, serial killers, and other criminals as a way to multiply the amount of crime that's already happening globally. Similarly, the cloning of animals could also prove to be threatening towards different species. Recently, scientists were analyzing the genomes of a marble crayfish and a sudden mutation occurred. This sudden mutation allowed the six-inch-long marble crayfish to clone itself and now it overwhelms Europe by threatening many native crayfish. As seen, animals and humans could be threatened if cloning creates an excessive amount of dangerous individuals with malicious purposes.

Even though therapeutic cloning is being used to clone replacement organs, this form of cloning still involves the manipulation and death of young human embryos. This is equivalent to the death of real human beings since embryos have the potential of becoming one. For example, if a male and a female planned on producing a clone, SCNT (somatic cell nuclear transfer) researchers would take out the nucleus from a few of the female's eggs to replace it with the nucleus coming from the male's somatic cells. The rest of the cells are shocked with electricity and they hope that some of them will grow like a fertilized egg. This is the ending of the cloning process and the cloned embryo could possibly develop or simply die from natural events. On the other hand, 95-99% of cloned embryos pass away before they are born. This practically means that embryos are being broken down unnecessarily for a clone that will most likely fail to be formed. Not only that, but if the male has a disease that stem cells could possibly cure, then his body wouldn't be compatible with the stem cells of other people. Since the male would need stem cells he's compatible with, scientists would make a clone as a sacrificial lamb to gain the cells for the male. Cloning embryos and then sacrificing them to get compatible cells for another human being is taking away the potential life that the embryo could actually form.
