When scientist clone a certain animal or thing they always do it for very different reasons and their ideals are different. “The advantage of therapeutic cloning in medical treatment is that it would allow doctors to grow replacements for missing and damaged parts for their patients.” (Positive And Negative Effects of Cloning” 7).…
“20 Years after Dolly the Sheep Led the Way-Where Is Cloning Now?” by Karen Weintraub talks about the technology advances in cloning and how they can be used today. Weintraub discusses the benefits and dangers to cloning. Weintraub provides quotes from significant people throughout the article, in order to shed light on topic within cloning. She also provides information and opinions about each topic. Because of these factors Weintraub appears to be a credible unbiased author, that is capable of providing enough facts for the audience to form their own opinion.…
Over the years, science and technology have expanded to make it possible to create identical creatures. While new cloning technology is a great advancement, it raises a plethora of moral and ethical questions. Cloning may bring about new ways to find cures for babies, according to Philip M. Boffey, but cloning also “could usher in a new eugenics”. The problems produced from the prospect of cloning greatly outweigh the benefits.…
In conclusion, all of Kass’s objections make valid point on why cloning us unethical in our current society. The objections can be seen as premature thoughts because we are not living in the actual era of cloning. Cloning is still very experimental and we do not know all the benefits and effects of cloning. Therefore, some of Kass’s arguments can be ruled out. Even if cloning is improved and become beneficial one question that will remain is, is it ethical to…
Cloning is a procedure conceived to notion in the late 1960s, but it is only recently that it was fully understood and that scientists have started to figure out how to successfully copy the genetic composition of one organism to another. Since science already knows how to do this, the only problems and obstacles that remains is efficiency and the success ratio of each operation. The cloning process consists of taking the nucleus of an organism, and placing it, along with the DNA that contains all the genetic material, in place of the nucleus of the host egg. The egg then forms an embryo and matures into the same exact "copy", at least genetically, as the original organism. Already done on mammals, cloning is something that can be extended to utilize humans as subjects. In the future it will be wholly possible to create human clones to serve whatever purpose they were conceived for. However, presently there are numerous ethical issues surrounding cloning and there are problems about the implications of the use of cloning for the purpose of medicine. This issue plagues us so much that the constant objections of bioethicists and political and religious leaders have caused the US Government to propose a ban on all research concerning human cloning until a conclusion is reached on the moral and ethical aspects of the process. (Macer, 2)…
Thesis Statement: Although human cloning is a scientific discovery of great significance which is the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human it has some medical advantages; however, it raises high debates because of its religious, ethical, and scientific disadvantages.…
For many years, scientists have been experimenting in the field of cloning. Cloning uses an egg cell and a somatic cell to make a duplicate copy of the organism. It is currently a highly controversial topic in the scientific world. Many people can benefit from cloning. From farmers to patients, not only does cloning help scientists discover more about genetics, it will also help a lot of people. However, there are also ethical issues with cloning, such as the use of embryonic stem cells and cross-species hybrids. For instance, at the Salk institute, a human-pig embryo was recently made and destroyed. The purpose of the experiment was to see if human organs could be grown inside a pig. The authors believe that we are still far off from accomplishing cloning of human organs in animals. I believe that cloning will help this world, but there needs to be restrictions on human cloning and cross-breeding.…
I am Jacob Rojas and I am Sixteen year old I live in Desert Hot Spring California. I am a student at Desert Hot Spring High School. I am writing to you to express my opinion of the bill to fund cloning with tax paper money. My opinion is that I disagree with the government using tax dollars for any type of cloning because it's is not right to clone someone if they died they should rest in peace. Think cloning is not good for many reason first is that they charged a lot of money to clone and the second reason is that it is not right to clone because it like saying that you are God and you make a person I am Christian Pentecostal we believe that only god could make a person not a scientists.…

The subject of human cloning is a very controversial topic. The cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1997 by scientist Ian Wilmut generated a very unexpected reaction around the world. However these reactions were not all positive. Cloning refers to the development of offspring that are identical to their parents genetically. While it is referred to as an unnatural process, it can occur quite often in nature. Identical twins, for example, are clones. However, human cloning is very new and very complex. In this essay I will examine both sides of the argument into the banning of cloning starting with reasons why cloning should not be banned.…
