The Medical and Ethical Perspectives of Human Cloning       In our modern day world, the technology of genetic engineering and human cloning for the use of asexual reproduction has reached a point to where we must ask ourselves if it is a good practice for medical purposes, or if it presents issues of ethical and moral concern.  Human cloning is a very cmplex process; it is very multilayered in the promises and threats that are suggested by scientists (Kolata 8).  In the basic definition, cloning

Written by Merleau Ponty, the World of Perception contradicts the classic understandings of society and engages the various abstractions of the world. Perception shows how people observe the world and what is within it. Perception is how one may sense one thing in the world, while another person may sense something else.

Eugenics looked at races and ethnic groups to identify what genetic qualities they had that would help decipher who had the strongest physical and mental characteristics to survive within nature. The idea of eugenics was inspired by Darwin’s theory of evolution in 1859, but was later defined in 1883 by

Fortunately, since the birth of the first ‘test-tube baby’ in the late 1970’s Assistive Reproductive Technologies (ART) have introduced a number of medically assisted techniques enabling couples
