Benefits Of Cloning In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

The haunting novel of Frankenstein’s monster is now considered a classic that has touched many, even through films, ideas, or Halloween decorations. Dolly has paved the way for scientific findings, on the other hand. Duplicate pets have been made, different species cloned, and farmers improved their herds (Glenn). One article even states: “Scientists say cloning could also be used to save endangered species from extinction” (Glenn). Not only did Dolly provide further material to study and work upon, but she also pushed forward a whole new business.

Dolly can be compared with Frankenstein in Shelley’s novel. They both were created artificially by humans and not by nature. The methods are different in cloning is like making the exact copy and in Frankenstein is bringing back from death. The origin of life is by reproduction and by using a scientific method to create life is challenging the nature. In both scenarios humans are “playing God” and since is an experimentation the consequences and results are unknown. In both, cloning by cellular transfer(Dolly) and Frankenstein they use electricity in the process of create life. Cloning is the modern

This could be a pro as well as a con of human cloning. “With great power comes great responsibility” (Uncle Ben, “Spiderman”). This could be one of the wisest quotes of all time. The science of human cloning has the potential to be a history changing discovery. But with any powerful subject, the hands that behold the power of change need to be responsible.

Scientists are eager to explore the formation of life, and if possible, create life. Like people in 18th century, people nowadays have limited understanding regarding Cloning and Cloning indeed seems to be a mysterious science. Nevertheless, lots of scientists assert that Cloning will change the world and has unlimited benefits. Under this circumstance, Cloning gains momentum and harbors a greater and greater influence on society. From a variety of aspects, Cloning shares a myriad of common factors with Frankenstein, including similarities between Frankenstein and science in general that are discussed already. Therefore, as what Victor warned us, we should take all kinds of future consequences into consideration before the global implementation of cloning, in order to shun the miserable outcomes Victor suffered.

With the development of science, cloning has become possible. Some cloning has been used to help benefit the human race; in some ways the environment and other species. However, other cloning uses could cause many problems such as a disadvantage in intelligence, strength, and who would be acceptable to obtain what jobs.

Knowledge is power, but power does not necessarily mean knowledge. Although Frankenstein had a lot of knowledge, he was unable to control the creature and shows clones will not fit into our society because people will not be able to control them, strip the people of their individuality and bring back the loves one necessarily . If people were able to make clones of themselves, they will never be able to fit into our society. Mary Shelley’s book, Frankenstein, Frankenstein was able to bring a dead body to life, but he was not able to fit into the world of the humans. Knowing that the creature did not fit into the world, then clones will not be able to fit into the world either.

One current prominent issue of the modern world that questions our ethical standards is the experimentations of cloning. Even since the introduction of cloning, there have been contentions for and against this procedure. A fundamental argument is that cloning is morally wrong and looked down upon by various religious groups because its equivalent of someone “playing God”. Science have made strides in the procedure of cloning by successfully replicated a sheep named Dolly. Instinctively, Man will pursuit the extent of its knowledge and test its boundaries, which will lead into discovery to cloning a human life. What responsibilities must we overcome, if such feat was to become a reality? Although human cloning has not been accomplished yet, I don’t think it is implausible for “A Victor” to exist within us and play God and eventually, create the first cloned human being. How will society accept a human created by bioengineering and not through a natural process? Will society treat a human clone subject like one of us? Or would it have the implications of the Monster, like the one Victor created, who suffered from negligence and recollecting abuse at the hands of his creator? The monster that Victor created came to seek revenge and

It is not possible for us to undo what has been discovered, we must simply accept it and try to use it to its potential, while being responsible. Cloning of a sheep has already taken place, we are not able to undo this, therefore, we must decide what to do with this information. The decision of how far we should take cloning must be made. When have we gone to far, and for what purposes should we use this new technology. Cloning, may turn out to be the best thing that has ever been discovered, or it may be that it is the downfall to the way of life we know. It is important that we realize this information is here to stay and not waste time arguing whether it is right or wrong, since that is a useless argument. Time will be much better severed by arguing the uses and controls that need to be placed on cloning.

Imagine someone creating a living being from the corpses of others. Sounds crazy, and it is. Nevertheless, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein does have relevant themes and warnings to the scientific discoveries being made today. As technology advances the possibilities in the scientific community grow with it. Today we can even manipulate a person’s genes.

Take a journey with me to the young mind of Grace Newland. As a young girl, she was taught that all human beings were children of God, and that God specifically designed them to reproduce naturally. Like many young children do, she accepted the teachings of her elders and made them her own beliefs. Throughout her adolescent years, it was apparent that not everyone could have children as easily as others, and special procedures would take place to inseminate an egg in a lab and insert the egg into a surrogate mother. While it was not the typical way to conceive a child, Grace understood that both aspects of reproduction were involved, but they needed a little extra help from science.

II. Thesis Statement: Today I will entice you on the myth of human cloning and explain to you why it should be prohibited.

Another supplementary argument can be made on the topic of medical advancements made possible through the cloning process, mankind will be provided with organs and cells with which human’s lives will be saved. If a person needs an organ transplant the normal means of transplantation would involve the removal of an organ from another person. This organ could be rejected and many complications could arise, often with deadly repercussions. Human cloning would involve using the person’s own cells that could be cloned to produce a healthy, normal organ for use in the person. Through this process, there would be no

While some believe cloning to be acceptable others feel equally strongly that human cloning is completely wrong. With the state of the science as it is at the moment it would involve hundreds of damaged pregnancies to achieve one single live cloned baby. What is more, all the evidence suggests that clones are unhealthy and often have a number of built-in genetic defects, which lead to premature ageing and death. It would be completely wrong to bring a child into the world knowing that it was extremely likely to be affected by problems like these. The dignity of human life and the genetic uniqueness we all have would be attacked if cloning became commonplace. People might be

Scientific experimentation has led us to many great discoveries such as: Chemotherapy, heart surgery, and bone marrow transplants. Recently scientists have discovered a new way to heal humans. This is known as cloning. Although they have yet to clone a human they have cloned sheep. Cloning has brought up a huge controversy among the American people. There are two sides to the story. Either you agree with cloning or you don’t. The only way to help make that decision is to look at the good and bad points of cloning.

Cloning is an issue now and will be in the in the future,animals are cloned all the time.Does the human race want to have a copy of itself. We need to understand what is happening to the cloned animals and what could possibly happen to us if we were to be cloned.
