What are some benefits to human cloning?


Some benefits of human cloning to consider would be to reduce the aging process.  An example of this would be someone who has suffered a heart attack.  The doctor could inject healthy heart cells into the damaged areas eliminating the once damaged areas.  Embryonic stem cells can be grown to produce organs and tissues.  This could prove helpful to someone who is suffering from liver or kidney damage.  Human cloning can also aid with infertility troubles, cosmetic procedures such as breast implants, and reversing defective genes.  If scientists we able to figure out how to switch cells on and off with cloning they could potentially cure cancers.  Although, listed here are some benefits of cloning I again raise the question of overpopulation?  If scientists find ways to cure diseases, reverse aging, clone entire humans etc.  Then how wouldn’t overpopulation become an even bigger issue?  And how would nature’s way of regulation continue to take place?
