Species Survies On The Principle Of Diversity....

Cloning, simply defined, is creating a new organism that shares the same genetic code as another. Each step taken toward making cloning quicker, better, and cheaper brings these ethical questions further from the realm of the hypothetical and closer to the realm of fact.

Cloning Endangered/Extinct Species

All endangered species have one thing in common -- there's not many animals left. A lack of animals leads to inbreeding, and a lack of genetic diversity. Researchers are always careful when trying to reestablish endangered species to maintain genetic diversity by creating different families and trying to inbreed as little as possible. If the scientists just let the animals breed without control, there will be almost no genetic diversity, which will lead to recessive traits being expressed. Usually, this results in diseases and deformities.
While cloning offers a short-term answer to the problem of "not enough animals", in the long term, all the offspring from the clones are genetically brothers and sisters. This will likely destroy genetic diversity and lead to inbred, weak, disease ridden animals who could not survive in the wild. Even if the animals were healthy enough to be released into the wild, in their weakened state, they would be easy prey, leading to more predators. In the end, they would become extinct and would have upset nature's balance by introducing more predators. The morality of cloning endangered species hinges on how many animals are left, and what their collective genetic condition is.
The same trouble would be compounded if science tried to bring back an endangered species like the dodo bird. It would be so expensive to find enough intact dodo cells from different birds, that to make a flock of unique birds would be an impracticality. The best science can offer is the same cloned dodo at every paying zoo. Whether or not you think this ethical hinges on the question of whether it is ethical to create an animal for the sole purpose of captivity.

Cloning Humans

It would clearly be unethical to clone humans and distribute them about for the purpose of a gigantic twin study, to determine once and for all what is nature and what is nurture. It would be useless for an millionare to clone himself in hopes of everlasting life; the clone would posess none of his memories or experiences. Bill Gates' clone might turn into an average person, a delinquent, a ditch digger, or the secretary of the Department of Justice, depending on the clone's life experience.
There is really only one apparent and plausible reason for the widespread cloning of humans, and that is for parents who can't have children naturally. How you feel about cloning humans really depends on how you feel about the value of human life, and when it starts. Dolly took 277 tries; assuming that cloning a human would take 277 tries, what of the 276 human embryos that died? If they are just embryos, then it's probably okay. If they were humans with minds, souls, and destinies, then it was wrong to try to clone a child in the first place. Cloning, it seems, offers the same ethical dilemmas as does abortion and current methods of in vitro fertilization.
But there is a second problem on top of the consideration of the other embryos -- the life of the clone. Assuming that the technique is commonplace (the lives of the first fifty or so will probably be filled with doctor visits, disgruntled family members, and possibly taunting classmates), a cloned child would have a set of problems in addition to the ones that normal children face. What would be the relationship between the clone and the "DNA donor"? Sibling? Child? Most children have problems with their parents; a clone might reflect those feelings back on himself, because he is identical to them. There is a whole list of questions that prospective parents would have to consider before trying such an endeavor; is it really worth it?

Core Issue

The core issue behind cloning seems to have to do with the relationship between genetic uniqueness and personal individuality. Animals may or may not have their own personalities and sense of individuality, and if they exist, they may differ from species to species, so there may never be a resolution to the question of cloning animals.
But humans are a different matter entirely. Humans are unique not because of their body build or genetic makeup or life experience, but because of the unique contribution they each have to make to the world. The morality of human cloning lies not in the cloning process itself, but in societal reaction to him. If society can keep itself from branding the clone as a duplicate person and limiting him to his predecessor's abilities; if instead the clone is accepted just as a normal human being who is unique because of his unique contribution he has to make to the world, then cloning of humans may be an option.

A legendary psychiatrist who spoke about the bitter truth of life in a simple way..most educating one .
Indeed a search for meaning of my life was instigated after i read his book "Man's search for meaning".
          The most important thought i reckoned upon is, existence of uniquess among us and the specific way of carrying this uniqueness with us till end. None the force can be thrust upon any one until we individually recognise a need of change.

The Greatest Game Ever Played

                          This is one of my favourite movies.The movie carries a story of an amateur winning  one game US open (golf) and many hearts,.There were few dialogues in the movie which had much deeper meaning than thought upon. I have shared two of them.

Not for you, not for England, but for sheer bloody pride at being the best, *that's* why we do this. And if Mr. Ouimet wins tomorrow, it's because he's the best, because of who he is. Not who his father was, not how much money he's got, because of who he bloody is! And I'll thank you to remember that. And I'll thank you to show the respect a gentleman gives as a matter of course."

On Women's Emancipation

“Gummiyadi Gummiyadi Nadumughudum Kulungida thaikotti Gummiyadi Nammai pidiththa pisasugal poyina Nanmai kandomendru Gummiyadi Ettaiyum pengal thoduvadhu teemaiyendru Enniyirundhavan mainduvittar, Veettunkulley pennai pootivaipomenra Vindhai manidhar thalai kavinghhar” (Dandiya-dance to celebrate women’s emancipation) that is: “Dance oh friend dance, playing dandiya let it be with such force that as you dance it shakes up and wakes up this entire Nation. Let us dance to celebrate our emancipation from the ghosts which were holding on to us for centuries. Let us celebrate our achievement. Those who thought that if education was given to women it would harm the society, are all dead today ! Those strange fellows who wanted women to be kept locked inside their homes have now tasted their downfall ! So, oh friends !Let us celebrate the emancipation of women and dance playing dandiya”. “Pudhumaip Penn” (The New Woman) “Aanum Pennum Nigar Enakkollvathaal Arivil O’ngi Ivvaiyagam Thazhaikkumaam” (This world will achieve excellence in knowledge and wisdom by holding men and women equal) “Vilagi Veettilo’r Pondhil Valarvadhal Veerap-Pengal Viraivil Ozshippaaram” (Valiant women will soon eradicate the custom of growing in seclusion in homes) “Pengal Viduthalaik Kummi” (Women Liberation Song) “Yettaiyum Pengal Thoduvathu Theemai Endrenni Irundhavar Maaindhu Vittaar, Veettukkulle Pennai Pootti Vaippom Endra Vindhai Manithar Thalai Kavizhndhaar” (Those who thought that it was a sin for women to touch books are dead; the incredible men who wanted to lock the women inside their homes now hang their heads in shame) “Kangal Irandinil ordrai kuththi Kaatchi Kedutthidalamo Pengal arivai valarthal, vaiyyam Pedamai attridum kaaneer (from a poem titled “Murasu”) (Out of the two eyes, if you pierce and destroy one, are you not spoiling your own vision? In fact, if you educate the women, the backwardness which grips this world will vanish automatically.”) “Pattankkal Aazhvadum Sattankkal Seivathum Paarinil Penkal Nadatha Vanthom (Women have come up now to get degrees, to legislate and rule in the world)

Chhoo Loon Main Itna Kareeb
Chal Padun To Kitne Door
Sapna Ka Buna Sweater Sa Warm
Safed Baadalon Ke Paar
Mera Jahan.........

Udne Ko Sau Pankh Diye Hai
Chadme Ko Khula Aasmaan
Mudne Ko Hai Karwat Karwat
Aur Badhne Ko
Mera Jahan..............
