Should Cloning Be Beneficial?

Some people actually say that we can benefit from cloning. Scientists think that we can clone “geniuses” and advance in society (Utah Genetics). This brings up a very good point. What if we can clone 5 Albert Einsteins?! What if we clone all of the smartest minds to ever exist. Can we cure cancer? I think we can! Maybe we can even stop ebola. Lots of people are seriously thinking about this and how beneficial it would be. But some people can take this out of hand. Some scientists are considering making “human farms” where clones are made and their only purpose is to kill them and take their organs to sell. This is why cloning should not be easily accessible. Some freaky scientists are actually considering this idea. We need to be smarter, we need to be consistent , and we need to keep an eye out for these crazy scientists. And God knows what other crazy idea they have inside their heads. But many people think that cloning can be beneficial to society if it is used

Secondly, cloning kills another animal. Cloning takes chromosomes from an egg and destroys them. That cell was going to be a new animal. Take Dolly it took 277 tries, that is 277 baby sheep killed to make another already existing sheep. If we were to clone humans any scientist who clones is technically a murderer. Other examples is the dog Snuppy they used 97 eggs to get 3 puppies. That means 97 individual puppies dead to make a clone’s clones. This is another, more grim, reason why cloning is not a good thing.

Cloning is very unethical. It would be violating the human rights in many ways. It would be violating of the freedom of beliefs and thoughts (Peter Flaherty, and D. Lynn Moore. Civics. McGraw-Hill Ryerson, 2000) Cloning also reduces human dignity. Humans can be sold as manufactured products. If we allow

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

In the creation of technological advances that survives today, the dispute of cloning is ever existent as a debate of morals and human rights. People are asking if we have the right to clone humans and other animals. Cloning, the process of taking a cell from one organism, taking a donor womb cell from another organism of the same species, inserting the original cell in the donor cell, and placing the newly developed embryo inside a surrogate mother. This is an inhumane desecration of human rights and an obscene act against the natural balance of life. There are those who think that cloning is a brilliant idea and that it is tolerable to create life from an individual which already exists. Those in support of cloning have countless reasons for their opinion. They say that clones and cloning can be used for medical and research purposes, that clones are capable of populating our military. Another reason for cloning is to replace a deceased child or pet, or to enable infertile couples to have children. But these people in support of cloning seem to ignore one key factor that makes this act a violation of nature. All living human beings have feelings and thoughts, and that also includes clones. Cloning belittles the individualities each person and animals acquires, and many consider it an ethical injustice.

Cloning has been one of the most widely discussed and controversial scientific topics in the past decade. Cloning has been applied in many fields including the creation of new breeds of plants and animals. However, the cloning of plants has been practiced for hundreds of years. Cloning can be done on a larger level in animals and has potential benefits. The general process of cloning is to take one cell from the parent making the offspring and parent genetically identical (Tsunoda and Kato, 158-161). In addition by making completely identical cells, we can apply different treatments to different clones to see if they react in different ways. The potential benefits of cloning out way the consequences of cloning. In this paper I will first elaborate on microorganisms. Then I will talk about plants, animal and human cloning, and the controversies in cloning.

Cloning has been a subject of human discussion for ages. It used to be just an idea, just a dream, but we humans have grown so advanced that it is no longer a dream. It began with the cloning of just a few cells, then it began to grow. As our technology and knowledge grew, so did our hopes and goals for cloning, but not everyone agreed with it. Some think that cloning is taboo or that it goes against God, but not me. I believe that cloning is both medically and morally advantageous, even if it is highly controversial.

According to Judith A. Boss, author of Analyzing Moral Issues, cloning is an asexual reproduction process in which genetically identical individuals are produced (Boss 126). Two authors, specifically, Julian Savulescu and Leon Kass have very distinct and different points of view on cloning and genetic enhancement. Human cloning has become a significant argument that most people have a stance either for or against it. Cloning is allowed and occurs in our society today, but whether one finds it acceptable or not is a different point. People have their own reasons for being in favor of cloning or being against it, but there are some people who judge if cloning is acceptable on a situation-by-situation basis. I am strongly against human

I think cloning is bad. We don't have a right to create life. God’s job is to create life. We hear

Since the 1970’s cloning has been a topic of debate with politicians, churches, scientist and many others. Some important questions need to be asked and understood. What exactly is cloning? Are there different types of cloning? What is the moral or ethical consequences to cloning? Are there any problems or effects associated with cloning? The final question would be, what effects would cloning have on the legal or medical fields? Before anyone can make a stand for or against cloning they should be educated on the processes and outcomes. With answering these questions and material covered my Gregory Pence, my stand on cloning is clear.

Cloning is the study of cells where a gene is identical from the individual. Is cloning worth it? In many cases, other scientists see cloning as a problem solver to make life less complex. Is cloning the possible solution to make life easier? Cloning may bring many answers and bring many benefits to the world. Dolly the sheep had a successful cloning, but it took 227 attempts in order to clone the sheep. Others has considered of cloning humans to make a huge advancement in science. Cloning may have its benefits, but the outcome may vary. Allowing to clone a human being is referred to as playing God. It is reasonable to decline the cloning of humans due to the fact it is a threat to human evolution, high failure rates and the possible life issues

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.

What is cloning? Well, cloning is the possibility of taking one animal's life to bring others back in.

Admittedly, the idea of cloning, both animal and human, has the potential to cure diseases and create a healthier generation with a better quality of life. “Cloning technology is already here” and could “produce results that would be of enormous benefit to mankind” (“Pros” 1; Cohen 6). Clones could be created specifically to be compatible and provide healthy organs for transplantation to normal humans or animals with failing organs (Badertscher 2). Five pigs, cloned in 2005 in Blacksburg, Virginia show evidence of “harvesting organs for medical purposes” (“Pros” 13). Infertile parents could clone themselves and “create a younger twin of the mother or father” instead of dealing with the current pains of infertility treatments (“Pros” 2). Cloning is speculated to find faster cures or treatment for medical conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and diabetes (“Pros” 1; Driscoll & Griswold 2). In addition, the possibility of eliminating “defective genes” and “genetic mutations” caused by damaged DNA lines that are becoming more common as humans constantly reproduce surfaces with cloning. Healthy human cells could be cloned to eventually rid the “defective genes” (“Pros” 2). Cloning could truly be a

Beginning with the moral argument, one must understand reproductive freedom. Most cloning activists say that reproduction, or the lack there of, is a natural freedom given to people (C). Restricting human cloning would be a violation of that right. Just as people can choose not to reproduce using contraception, abortion, or abstinence, people should be allowed to use all means possible within their ability to reproduce, such as through cloning and in vitro fertilization (C). Cloning is the application of this right specifically (C). Another benefit of cloning is the ability to clone someone who has died to console those who are grieving over their lost loved one or to clone the DNA of a person that was known for his of her greatness. Scientists would be able to recreate these people in a new environment (C). A clone's parent may have come from
