The Pros And Cons Of Cloning

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.

     As soon as you mention the word cloning, you are most likely to ignite a debate. This is because people are greatly divided on whether it's good or bad. A way to reach a conclusion is to look at cloning from ethical, risk, and religious perspectives. The reality is, cloning is unethical, very risky, and irreligious. The arguments I will make will hopefully convince you that cloning is not good for the future.

Recently the world has turned its attention to a new development in science, cloning. Cloning is defined as “the process of producing a clone” (Dictionary.com). This has become a big deal because the endless ways we can bring back extinct creatures. Such as, the extinct wooly mammoth, the Tasmanian tiger, and Quagga. With the endless ability to bring back animal from the past with DNA there comes a problem. With human DNA made available so easily science has come to the idea and process of making designer babies. A designer baby is a baby whose genetic makeup has been selected in order to eradicate a particular defect, or to ensure that a particular gene is present. A family gene might be a bad disease which a baby might get when born. Before this, cloning a baby was science fiction idea to people. It was never imagined or even thought possible, but now it is not. Scientist have already started to create ways to clone babies. With this comes the problem of how far should scientist go? This could be both a blessing and a curse.

For starters, cloning has said to solve the continuous problem of infertility by inserting a clone embryo into the woman’s body. This guarantees infertile couples a child, as opposed to wasting time and money on other painful and emotional procedures that don’t offer this guarantee. The next benefit offers an immense amount of growth in regenerative medicine and assists those with physical disabilities by producing clones of themselves. Why clone themselves if they have a disability? Scientists can use cells from the embryo to customize the regeneration of the new organ, tissue, or body part. As far as cloning an organ goes, this benefits the millions of people who acquired a disease with no cure. For example, diseases such as Alzheimer’s,

Cloning is a number of processes that are used to create genetically identical copies of an organism. Researchers have cloned a number of biological materials, such as genes, cells, tissues and whole organisms, including sheep 's and horses. Cloning can happen naturally in identical twins, but it can also be done in a lab. ("Cloning Fact Sheet").

For many years there has been a large controversy over the use of cloning for therapeutic and reproductive purposes. The argument against therapeutic cloning is that creating an exact replica of one's self all for the use of harvesting its parts is considered killing another human being. However, some people are for this use so that they can survive as long as they can, and use the clones materials as a way to cure disease or heal injuries. On the other hand, reductive cloning also has two sides, for and against. People who believe that reproductive cloning is okay, want to create another version of themselves just to either have themselves as a baby or replace a loved one. But, people who are against reproductive cloning believe that it is a selfish or unreasonable act to have one birth a

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

When examining how human cloning can increase reproductive freedom, we must first look at what a clone is by definition. “Clone” in its verb tense means to make an identical copy of or in biochemistry, to replicate a fragment of DNA placed in an organism so that there is enough to analyze or use in protein production. This process can be performed for many different uses such as being used to grow in labs, embryotic treatments, genetic screening, anti-aging processes, and reproduction. It is important to note that “human cloning” of embryos will not produce an exact copy of an individual. Rather, it will replicate the same genotype to create a different individual human. ***As a reliable background, in this paper, I will be consistently referencing two main scientific articles. The first is from John Harris, a professor in the Institute of Medicine, Law, and Bioethics at the University of Manchester. His article “Goodbye Dolly” focuses on the nature and practicality of cloning. The other research article is by Alix Magney, a lecturer at the several universities who focuses on bioethics and medical health professionals, and highlights the investigations of the negative impacts of human cloning.

Although therapeutic cloning has been proven to be beneficial, it still has risks such as new diseases and disfigurations. Also, the organs used for transplant may not be functional and may cause death. It is better to avoid these risks and instead do stem cell research and study natural cells to cure diseases and illnesses. Let alone the fact that reproductive cloning also has major risks. As Barack Obama stated, "We cannot ever tolerate misuse or abuse. And we will ensure that our government never opens the door to the use of cloning for human reproduction, it is dangerous, profoundly wrong, and has no place in our society, or any society." (Fox News 1) This relates to the point that if cloning was in the wrong hands, it could be very dangerous to the people of the

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

As years pass, new discoveries are made through extensive research. These discoveries improve the life expectancy of humans, due to the continuous advancements in medical research and equipment. Infact, a main controversial aspect of medicine that has blown minds is said to be cloning. Cloning is the process of creating a genetic duplicate of an organism. It is divided into two branches: reproductive and therapeutic. Reproductive cloning creates an animal genetically identical to its donor, where it is then placed back into the uterine environment for further development. Therapeutic cloning on the other hand is quiet similar in the sense of formation. However, the resulting cloned cells remain in a lab and are not to be inserted into a female uterus to be nurtured into a fetus. These cells are instead used to treat and prevent diseases and conditions. Over time scientists have put forth all their knowledge and research into creating their very first fully cloned animal. But, until this day, “observers say that no reputable scientist is actively attempting to produce a human clone through reproductive cloning.” (“The Science of Cloning”,1) This procedure remains to be an issue worldwide due to the harm it carries along to reach its beneficial goal.

The idea of cloning is useless because it has way more negatives impacts rather than positive. Having someone who is an identical copy of you, made with the same DNA, yet still so far from the Clone. Advances in science like cloning are bad because Cloning transfers everything including diseases and/or abnormalities. Cloning is dangerous because the results are unknown. Something different that is never expected can happen each time. The main reason that Cloning is bad, is because the life of a Clone will be much different and way more tough.

There are actually many benefits that would come with cloning, such as being able to cure defective genes s, many cosmetic surgeries, and possibly, being able to cure cancer. The way that cloning would be able to cure defective genes, would be by cloning the same genes, but altering them to be benefit the human body rather than be a negative aspect.

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.

A massive fire in a wealthy village causes the villages population to decrease by a half. Due to the fact that they have lost half of their population they decide to clone each other.Cloning each other none stop causes the population to increase three times the original amount.This causes a shortage of supplies and space,The clones and people begin to leave the area or stay and die.The people who survived found a new and better life in the cities.The people who decided to stay died of starvation and malnutrition.The people who stayed not only suffered from starvation and malnutrition but crowded,poorly ventilated living spaces,They died from diseases that could be treated,They would die from exposure to the cold too,Overall the people who stayed suffered.
