Is Cloning Beneficial To Our Society

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.

Cloning body parts has the ability to save many lives around the world. According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services tently people die a day waiting for an organ transplant. Cloning creates vital organs which can stop people from suffering. People are in that waiting list for years hoping they receive that heart, lung, liver, and or other body parts. Society now has the option to help and create.There will not be anymore unneeded surgeries performed, no more waiting, but

The progression of cloning technology could prove to be of great use to humans in the future. Further experiments on cloning will add to the understanding of genetics and lead to the production of animals organs that can be accepted by humans. Theoretically cloning could eliminate all problems regard organ transplants by producing animals that can act as suitable organ donors. More extensive cloning processes could also provide a solution for the world’s food inequity problems. Stronger, more resistant plants could be cultivated in large amounts through means provided by cloning techniques. The same idea could be applied to livestock, where common diseases can be eradicated to create stronger breeds.

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

For starters, cloning has said to solve the continuous problem of infertility by inserting a clone embryo into the woman’s body. This guarantees infertile couples a child, as opposed to wasting time and money on other painful and emotional procedures that don’t offer this guarantee. The next benefit offers an immense amount of growth in regenerative medicine and assists those with physical disabilities by producing clones of themselves. Why clone themselves if they have a disability? Scientists can use cells from the embryo to customize the regeneration of the new organ, tissue, or body part. As far as cloning an organ goes, this benefits the millions of people who acquired a disease with no cure. For example, diseases such as Alzheimer’s,

Human cloning is capable of aiding doctors and medical researchers in creating new medical treatments and therapies, which is also

The medical benefits of cloning have the potential to be the greatest breakthroughs in the field ever. There are so many it’s hard to just put your finger on one. The power of cloning will allow people to be cured of diseases that have never been cured before. These diseases include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes,

They argue that through cloning, we are being God, and religiously, no one can be God, God is one and only he has the power to give or take life. Also, Religion leaders argue that they would be challenged critically to be up-to-date in scientific developments and to carefully evaluate the theological, moral and legal stakes of the innovations. Likewise, James J. Walter [bioethics Chair at Loyola University in Los Angeles] argued that “religious leaders and believers…confronted with scientific developments that are ‘ambiguous morally and theologically,’ should be ‘careful but not wary, hopeful but not wide-eyed, ‘assessing developments as they come advancing’" (qtd. in “Many oppose human cloning”). Courtney S. Campbell [associate professor at Oregon State University] claimed that religious leaders are often seen as ‘problems’ rather than ‘contributors’ to community

Many christians believe cloning should be banned due to violating human rights. Driscoll Says, “The cloning of human beings, however, should be permanently banned, as an offense to human dignity. The practice raises the possibility of babies born to bypass normal family structures, or to please parents’ vanity, or to serve as providers of “spare parts” for sick relatives.” (Driscoll, par 7) Every treatment has it risk but with technology we are one step closer to discovering how we can prevent genetic diseases. That will help in future generations. Cloning can help families not use another of their child to help their sibling. Instead they could use cloning for a spare part. As mentioned previously, cloning isn't a risk to

If science is able to advance cloning to the point of simply cloning human parts, such as skin or a heart or lungs, or any of the other organs, then this could save the lives of millions. If science is able to clone skin for example then millions of burn victims would be able to

I do not think that human cloning should ever be a field that is pursued in the future by scientists. There are a multitude of problems that arise with the idea of cloning. Even if doctors were able to eliminate those risks, the process of cloning a human being would remain an odd one. The human population would cease diversity and uniqueness in all areas. Since the cloning process involves taking genes and creating identical ones, all beings would begin to look and be the same. With a lack of differentiation throughout the human race, might lead to higher competition in areas like school, careers, athletics, etc., and could infringe on a person’s freedoms and rights of being individualistic.

Human cloning has been widely misrepresented as a result of sci-fi movies and other means of technology. This idea that human cloning is a “perversion of nature,” comes from the seed that has been planted by the film producers, that cloning is creating mass copies of a person. Movies such as Star Wars gives a false impression of what clones are, they make it seem that they are evil beings that will eventually take over the world, have no personality and are under control by a sole creator. It is important, before anyone sets their mind against this scientific discovery that they fully understand what it is and how it can benefit society. This report will explain what it is and underline the benefits and not only looking at how it will positively

     Some people say limit cloning of humans to just research or for medical reasons, but it’s the same thing. Producing clones for research or to use their parts is unethical. Cloning for just medical research is still harming another human being to save another. That is wrong in my mind, ethically and morally. Its ethically wrong because I fell that a humans morals aren’t to kill other human for body parts. It’s morally wrong because it’s not the right conduct of a human to do such a thing. Even if cloning is limited to medical research, there is still the risk of cloning humans. We simply cannot play God and create life because it is ethically wrong and sinful, and most importantly, dangerous. It would be against the code of ethics of a doctor to harm a clone. Harming a clone would be such using one of its organs to save the original life. The question shakes us all to our very souls. For humans to consider the cloning of one another forces them all to question the very concepts of right and wrong that makes them all human. The cloning of any species, whether they be human or non-human, is ethically wrong. The clone would be a human being and deserve

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.

How would you like to have another you? No, not an identical twin but another person who is actually 100% you? Would the idea fill you with delight or horror?. As a genetic engineer as well as a senior researcher at the University of Adelaide I am terrified from where the research of cloning human would end up?. Human cloning also known as the creation of a genetically copy of a human, infect cloning is the creation of an organism that has an exact genetic copy of another. Since the cloning of Dolly the Sheep in 1997, research of human cloning has been on the edge of the seat. It brings many benefits including, elimination of the birth defects, through manipulate the embryos gene to remove the birth defect and provide them a healthier life. However, it will bring numerous disadvantages into the world that over shadows its benefits including, everyone not being able to afford it due the expense, individuality of the cloned person is destroyed and, creates a religious conflict.
