Cloning has become a popular topic of the twenty-first century. Its controversy puts the future of cloning in question. However, one could think about, if cloning does come into existence, whether or not future generations would consider cloning a world wonder.
The characteristics of wonders help to speculate the answer. A man-made wonder is a ground-breaking human achievement. Cloning opens the door to a wide range of possibilities. The ability to "harvest organs" will prolong the lives of many people waiting for organ transplants. The advancements in the study of DNA will help find cures for cancer and other DNA-related diseases such as Huntington's Disease or Sickle Cell Disease.
However, other aspects of cloning question whether it would be considered a wonder. Although it opens a world of possibilites, the effects of cloning are unknown. Many feel cloning removes the value of human life. If this idea is continued over time, many would not consider cloning to be a human advancement and a wonder. The many questions of the effects of cloning could only be answered in the actual process. If cloning has many negative aspects, cloning would not be considered a wonder. Only time will tell whether or not cloning is a future wonder.
