Should Humans Be Cloned

Most of the cloned animals failed to reach healthy adulthood because of the obesity, anemia, hearth defects, liver fibrosis and respiratory failure (Mott M., 2004). These anomalies associated with failure of the immune system, structural abnormalities of the brain, digestive dysfunction, enteritis and umbilical infections (Can Vet J., 2003).

Reproductive cloning could also be abused by people who want to create genetically superior children. Using reproductive cloning you could clone the world’s greatest athletes and geniuses. As crazy as it sounds, this would open up the door to future possibilities of a world where genetic discrimination is the norm like in the movie GATTACA.

. . concerns can be addressed when reproductive cloning has been shown to be safe in animals, which it has not yet." (Paulson) The success rate by means of reproductive cloning remains pale in comparison to natural procreation, and thus does not justify cloning as a form of procreation for the time being. The current success rate for reproductive cloning stands at one or two viable offspring per 100 experiments, and until the success rate drastically increases, cloning humans would be potentially dangerous and unethical.

Reproductive cloning is cloning a whole organism such as a whole cow, cat, dog, human, and so on. According to the article “Reproductive Cloning Arguments Pro and Con”, it states “At least 95% of mammalian cloning experiments have resulted in failures…” This percentage is extremely high. Therefore; this proves that therapeutic cloning is much safer than reproductive cloning reason being is that it does not have high percentage failures like reproductive. Every procedure has its risks and dangers. However; it is better to be safe than sorry. The human race has a better chance at survival through therapeutic

The most talk about topic today is cloning and if it really matters to us or if we shouldn't do it because there is no meaning to it. Well there is two different types of cloning there is therapeutic that one is when you create a clone outside of a embryo. The other which is reproductive cloning that type of cloning is the one I'm really against for because a lot comes with it. For example in the Article “ Here Kitty-Kitty-Kitty-Kitty” by Carolyn Said in San Francisco Chronicle, April 15, 2004 it quotes that “ It took 87 tries to produce CC, for example, Kraemer said”. It took 87 tries thats a lot of tries and either the test tube did not carry the egg correctly or the implantation wasn't as strong. My point is that cloning is a big

I do not think that cloning should not be allowed in the United States let alone in the rest of the world. It can be done on people and animals after they are dead. People think that cloning will ease the pain of the dead when the clone is not the same person. The person or animal is gone and the clone is not going to ease the pain. You just have to deal with the pain and you will slowly get through it cloning will never get rid of it.

Human cloning is described as “the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human.” Although human cloning has no record of being successful, cloning was demonstrated to be possible when scientists Sir Ian Wilmut and the rest of their research team successfully cloned Dolly, a sheep (Wilmut 12). This demonstration opened up a new area of science ready to be explored. If animals can be cloned, can human beings be cloned too? If successful, scientists would be able to clone human copies and further advance modern medicine, such as using cells for regenerative medicine or harvesting organs for transplants. It is also possible that other fields of medicine and research can be furthered with this supply of human clones. Additionally, couples incapable of reproducing can pursue cloning to create an offspring with their DNA. However, human cloning has never been successful and comes with ethical concerns.The clone can suffer from abnormalities. There are also concerns regarding the treatment of embryos to gather stem cells and the treatment of clones as a person. By further investigating and analyzing this topic through the lens of Catholic moral tradition, I hope to make clear the pros and cons of the subject while also evaluating them with an ethical theory learned from this quarter in order to add to the discussion.

Reproductive cloning technology may provide a way for completely sterile individuals (those not capable of producing gametes) to reproduce a child with identical genetic make up as their own. It might be more reliable than current infertility treatments and in-vitro-fertilization (IVF). As explained by Smith:

Well to begin with, what is cloning? Is cloning even real? Is it a thing? Do people clone people? Or animal? Is that even possible? Are clones robot or humans? Do they have a heart? Can they think like us normal people? Can they reproduce? And make baby clones? Are they allowed to have the same rights as us? What’s the cost of a clone? Is it expensive? Can I have a clone? Would they know that they 're clone? Would they ever get out of control? What’s the risk of having one? Are they any good to us or the country/world? Who even came up with that idea?

The issues behind cloning are many, but the most relevant are religion and ethics. In most religions, a higher power is the only one who can create a human or the process for making one. For example, Christian belief states that God is the only one who can create life.(Putatunda, “The Legal and Ethical Issues of Cloning That Make it Controversial.”) Any way that circumvents God’s plan of creation is considered unnatural. Cloning is also considered unethical, for two basic reasons. The first is that the process has a high failure rate and the second is the belief that a human controlling another’s genes is wrong. (Shapiro, “Ethical and Policy Issues of Human Cloning.”) While these are legitimate concerns, cloning does have many helpful applications. First, cloning can grow healthy cells and organs

In conclusion, cloning has many massive advantages, that could greatly help our future generations. Cloning can help our future generations by, making our kids and their kids healthier by potentially eliminating infertility, and by helping cure diseases such as AIDS, and cancer. But one of the slight disadvantages is the interaction between cloning and religious things. But if we were to ignore the amazing medical possibilities of cloning just because of the interaction between it and cloning, then it would be a grave

My topic was that I researched was Should Human Cloning be Allowed in the USA. I am for this because it can be a medical breakthrough. I am for it because it can cure many things the people struggle with every day. For example, I will talk about how people die from cancer and how we can stop it. And I will also be talking about how cloning can make transplants and saves even more people. And how human cloning can be bad and how it can affect us in the real world and how it can affect our supplies on this world.

I do not believe that Mr. Holmes or any human should be able to clone themselves. Because I believe that if someone cloned them self to perform a certain task, the clone might like it and the clone will not have any knowledge of the world so it will not be able to perform the task it was made for without years of education and the clone will be missing its whole childhood and would therefore have a shorter lifespan if it was made in adult form. Also cloning someone has a high chance of failure which could result in the death of many of many failed clones. Also if everyone was given the ability to clone themselves it would highly increase the world population which would cause more overpopulation and pollution, and people don't need to clone

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

Many couples that are infertile still have a great desire to create a new life however the current method in vitro fertilization is very often ineffective. In fact it only results in a healthy pregnancy 10% of the time. However cloning could be much more effective. Contrary
