Disadvantages of cloning

Cloning not only comes with advantages, for there are also many disadvantages to this seemingly perfect idea of cloning.
1) There is a loss of gene diversity. This may cause the entire species to be wiped out due to a disease, as the whole species have the same gene and therefore immune system and are unable to fight the disease.
2) There are many ethical dilemmas that are unable to be resolved. Many thinks that it is wrong to be "playing god" and that humans are not supposed to be creating new animals.Not to mention the treatment of clones and weather they will be treated with care or abuse.
3) With cloning, abuse of this technology will sooner or later arise. Some might want to use this technology for no good or for personal gain.

Cloning can be useful, if it was used correctly. Therefore, cloning must be done under watchful eyes and should never ever be abused.
