Summary of The Case Against Perfection In the essay “The Case Against Perfection” author Michael J. Sandel states that with the recent genetic breakthroughs our society is now faced with both a “promise and a predicament” (p.1.) This knowledge will know allow us to further treat and cure a wash of crippling diseases. Nevertheless‚ despite this miraculous breakthrough this discovery also open what seems to be a Pandora’s Box filled with concerns for moral prevalence‚ malpractice‚ and even perhaps

Animal Cloning Taken Too Far Technological and medical developments over the last century have allowed scientists to create life through cloning. There has been extensive debate as to whether or not cloning should be legal. Many argue that cloning allows for further scientific research on animal medical innovations‚ and new opportunities at livestock agriculture (Wells). Although there seems to be benefits to cloning‚ are these benefits worth the cost? Animals involved in cloning often suffer. Research

Just because we can prevent the extinction of an animal population‚ should we? Facts/Research: In the 1800’s people attempted to clone but weren’t successful. Hans Dreisch was the man in

Clones are able to function and interact with other living things‚ just as the original is able to. After news of cloning Dolly the Sheep in 1997‚ cloning has been a controversial topic. Scientists use cloning to learn more about genes of different creatures and organisms. They are able to identify the

The ethical dilemmas of cloning extinct species have been a futile argument that will never have a correct or incorrect answer.
