There are many advantages of cloning.
1) Farmers can have the desirable characteristics of plants (when cloned), as they would all be genetically identical.
2) Organisms that are difficult or slow to breed normally can reproduce quickly with cloning.
3) Human therapeutic cloning provides genetically identical cells for regenerative medicine, and tissues and organs for transplantation. This will provide us with the necessary sources for the sick.
4) Couples who want to be parents but are unable to can now father children due to DNA..
