Nuremburg Code Of Human Cloning

Better Essays

Cloning is the production of one or more individual organisms that are genetically identical. The copied organism, which has the same genetic code as the original, is called a clone. In the last two decades, cloning technology has been becoming more refined, and has been broadly applied in agriculture, human health, and many other fields. Breeding by cloning means being able to directly reproduce an animal with a desirable set of genetic traits. The world's most famous clone is Dolly the sheep, who was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell. This idea of being able to clone animals was encouraged by wanting to bring back extinct animals such as the wholly mammoth and dinosaurs, and maintain endangered species. Hence, it logically …show more content…

The Nuremburg Code indicates that the experiment should be set up in a way that avoids unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injuries. The Nuremburg Code also states that it should not be conducted when there is any reason to believe that it implies a risk of death or disabling injury (1). Human cloning violates these two principles because it involves the deliberate creation and killing of embryos of human beings.

I am in favor of banning human cloning. Not only does it violate the Nuremberg Code, but also other reasons related to human rights and the cloning technique we currently …show more content…

This would avoid the long waits of searching for matched organs and the fear of even when receiving te donor organ, the body rejects it. However, in my opinion, this prevents scientists from focusing on developing other treatments using non-embryos cells to treat and cure diseases. Patient will be even suffering with the pain longer. No research has confirmed that cloned organs will develop the same as the original. During the therapeutic cloning, embryos will be killed to harvest the stem cells. Human embryo is the carrier of life. We are killing lives. Good ends do not mean that it is right to achieve that
