IELTS Human Cloning Essay 
This is a model answer for a human cloning essay. 
If you look at the task, the wording is slightly different from the common 'do you agree or 
disagree' essay. However, it is essentially asking the same thing. 
You are asked if you agree with human cloning to use their body parts (in other words, what 
are the benefits), and what reservations (concerns) you have (in other words, what are the 
disadvantages). 
So the best way to answer this human cloning essay is probably to look at both sides of the issue 
as has been done in the model answer. 
As always, you must read the question carefully to make sure you answer it fully and do not 
go off topic. 
You are specifically being asked to discuss the issue of creating human clones to then use their 
body parts. If you write about other issues to do with human cloning, you may go off topic.

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. 
Present a written argument to an educated reader with no specialist 
knowledge of the following topic. 
As people live longer and longer, the idea of cloning human

idea horrifies most people, yet it is no longer mere science fiction. 
To what extent do you agree with such a procedure? 
Have you any reservations?

Model Answer for Human Cloning Essay 
The cloning of animals has been occurring for a number of years now, and this has 
now opened up the possibility of cloning humans too. Although there are clear 
benefits to humankind of cloning to provide spare body parts, I believe it raises a 
number of worrying ethical issues. 
Due to breakthroughs in medical science and improved diets, people are living 
much longer than in the past. This, though, has brought with it problems. As 
people age, their organs can fail so they need replacing. If humans were cloned, 
their organs could then be used to replace those of sick people. It is currently the 
case that there are often not enough organ donors around to fulfil this need, so 
cloning humans would overcome the issue as there would then be a ready supply. 
However, for good reasons, many people view this as a worrying development. 
Firstly, there are religious arguments against it. It would involve creating another 
human and then eventually killing it in order to use its organs, which it could be 
argued is murder. This is obviously a sin according to religious texts. Also, 
dilemmas would arise over what rights these people have, as surely they would be 
humans just like the rest of us. Furthermore, if we have the ability to clone 
humans, it has to be questioned where this cloning will end. Is it then acceptable 
for people to start cloning relatives or family members who have died? 
To conclude, I do not agree with this procedure due to the ethical issues and 
dilemmas it would create. Cloning animals has been a positive development, but 
this is where it should end.
