Essay On Cloning: The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks

The concept or idea behind cloning has been a controversial topic since it was introduced in the late 19th century. Although this concept did not come to life until 1996 when the first animal was cloned ethical debates where already in the works. These debates highlighted issues like public policy, human rights, and loss of uniqueness. Scientist, Religious organization and International Governments ethically the argued both the consequences and the benefits that derive from this situation. Part of the science community as well as Religious organizations argues against cloning as it is ethically wrong as this discovery was not God’s intent when creating life. Whereas the other part of the science community, as well as international government institutions, argue that cloning is beneficial to the advancement of humanity. In retrospect, religious organizations argument could be supported by both Natural Law ethics and Divine Law of Command. Where Government institution claim for a progression in society is supported by Cultural relativism and evolutionary ethics.

     As soon as you mention the word cloning, you are most likely to ignite a debate. This is because people are greatly divided on whether it's good or bad. A way to reach a conclusion is to look at cloning from ethical, risk, and religious perspectives. The reality is, cloning is unethical, very risky, and irreligious. The arguments I will make will hopefully convince you that cloning is not good for the future.

There are many arguments against cloning. Leon R. Kass bases his argument on repugnance in his article The Wisdom of Repugnance. He is a well-known physician, educator and scientist. Kass perceives cloning as offensive, grotesque revolting, repulsive and wrong. To establish his argument he states, “Most people recoil from the prospect of mass production or human being, with large clones of look-alikes, compromised in their individuality.”1 His rationale is cloning is unnatural, because it is asexual and requires only one parent. Kass believes that cloning turns natural procreation into a manufactured process, which is not natural or moral. In his essay he also points out that cloning will also change the way we see ourselves through our

I personally think this is a very controversial topic as, I do not think the idea of cloning was even thought of, when any type of religion was established. But to my surprise, many different religions have views on cloning, in the Quran (Holy Book Of Islam), Bible (Holy Book Of Christians) and also the Torah (Holy Book Of The Jewish). The rise of the current age and the "period of reason" triggered the beginning of cutting edge exploratory investigations and modern ideology that transforms society like a phenomenal power. Science is the learning about the world, particularly taking into account examination and testing and on actualities that can be demonstrated. An ascending science, biomedical examination, as of late have demonstrated an awesome potential in managing the world into a brighter future, where irremediable illnesses can be cured, deficient organs can be supplanted and new limits can be pushed. Regardless of the debates in regards to the ethics and morals of cloning, foundational microorganism research and in vitro preparation, the headway of such medicinal examination exhibits the unlimited conceivable outcomes for humanity that is generally choked by religious confidence and good ambiguities. Like most technology that precede human medicine analysis, the grounds to new discoveries evolve bit by bit although innumerable experiments and exploration into unmapped grounds, ultimately generates a helpful map of where we are,

In conclusion, cloning should not be allowed and it should be outright banned. Cloning should not be allowed because it is against nature and how the natural way occurs. Second, cloning talks many attempts to try and most of the attempts are futile. It takes a lot of time and energy to conceive a organism and most of the time after being born, the organism is usually unhealthy and would usually not live long. Third, cloning reduces the genetic diversity in organisms. Cloning should be banned and not

Cloning is a fairly new topic for many people. So many may ask; What is cloning? The term describes a process used to create copies of a biological organism, this copied organism is referred to as a clone. Cloning is a new pathway in scientific research, and because of this, many people decide that cloning is unethical before learning anything about it. Since cloning is a new topic of discussion it is a very objectionable to society. There are several medical plus sides to medical cloning, except the world does not trust human cloning. Medical cloning should be available to those you would like to use it.

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

“Cloning represents a very clear, powerful, and immediate example in which we are in danger of turning procreation into manufacture,” a quote from a scientist and physician, Leon Kass. Even scientists believe that this isn’t the way technological advancements should lean over to. They should focus on technology that might benefit the human race. For example, maybe scientists could find the way to cure diseases, cancer, and possibly find a way to expand human life, including animal lives. Cloning is a big ethical concern to everyone alike; scientists, people, physicians believe that this way of technological advances is clearly not what the human race

I think that cloning could become an issue in the future, cloning has not been used on human’s yet but it’s been used on animals. On my opinion, I think cloning it’s not such a good idea because it can cause

Cloning has been a major question in our minds. While analyzing and talking in depth this topic, it is noticeable that it is not necessary. Many people believe cloning is pro-life because they only see what a biologist desires to show. People are greedy and they just want to get to the next level. They desire to see to what extremity biologist is willing to go. I disagree with this fact that cloning should be legal in the United States.

The first problem that human cloning encounter is it is one of unethical processes because it involves the alteration of the human genetic and human may be harmed, either during experimentation or by expectations after birth. “Cloning, like all science, must be used responsibly. Cloning human is not desirable. But cloning sheep has its uses.”, as quoted by Mary Seller, a member of the Church of England’s Board of Social Responsibility (Amy Logston, 1999). Meaning behind this word are showing us that cloning have both advantages and disadvantages. The concept of cloning is hurting many human sentiments and human believes. “Given the high rates of morbidity and mortality in the cloning of other mammals, we believe that cloning-to-produce-children would be extremely unsafe, and that attempts to produce a cloned child would be highly unethical”, as quoted by the President’s Council on Bioethics. Since human cloning deals with human life, it said to be unethical if people are willing to killed embryo or infant to produce a cloned human and advancing on it. The probability of this process is successful is also small because the technology that being used in this process is still new and risky.

If a random individual were asked twenty years ago if he/she believed that science could clone an animal, most would have given a weird look and responded, “Are you kidding me?” However, that once crazy idea has now become a reality, and with this reality, has come debate after debate about the ethics and morality of cloning. Yet technology has not stopped with just the cloning of animals, but now many scientists are contemplating and are trying to find successful ways to clone human individuals. This idea of human cloning has fueled debate not just in the United States, but also with countries all over the world. I believe that it is not morally and ethically right

Clones have been in history books for ages and they were always questioned, they have been though up of for many different reasons. These reasons are from making an amusement park to helping with medical issues. The problem lie with should it be done for any reason some people would say there is no problem and should continue while others think that there is a problem and should be ceased. Scientists have endeavored to figure cloning out, all for a good cause although ethically it should be stopped for a multitude reasons. It could diminish the value of people and other living creatures that have survived the mundane way, it also costs more than it should for the physical amount that emerges from it, additionally the fact that it could threaten the lives of an abundance of humans and other animals.

Many ethical and moral dilemmas arise when discussing human cloning, and one can have many positions for and against each. To understand the issues surrounding human cloning, one must have a basic

When people think of the word cloning they think of evil scientist in a dark laboratory’s full of dangerous and scary instruments of science for conducting experiments, when actually the word clone means, “a cell, cell product, or organism that is genetically identical to the unit or individual from which it was derived (Dictionary.com).” In the past 50 years the science community has made many discoveries such as the cures for different life threatening diseases, different techniques of approaching different types of cancer, and different uses for the practice of cloning. Different people have many opinions about cloning. Some people in the medical field support the practice of cloning, because they believe it can help cure certain
