Arguments Against Human Cloning

Superior Essays
Many people think it might be neat if they could witness cloning. However there are more negatives than positives when doing this action. Some of those negative reasons are medical related, the cost, the technology, and the religious points. But the positives include fertility problems. So in those defenses the debate over cloning in the U.S. remains intense because it is against human nature.
Cloning is an very unnecessary procedure. There are medical reasons why we shouldn’t be able to clone humans. For example, they are cloning people just to use the clones for their organs . We already have donors for the situation of organs. So why make a clone to destroy it? Adding to that they came to realize that cloning is just like abortion . With

Then from there the baby will be born with the image that God had created. When you are cloning a human you are recreating what God has created and that is not how it is suppose to be. Human cloning puts the choices about a new life in the hands of a person rather than God. It will be left to the scientist to decide which embryo appears fit for implantation and which should be discarded. Human cloning takes God’s position as the Almighty Creator.Cloning a human would violate God 's given human dignity by giving his or her life to the interest of others. Children are originally supposed to come from the fruit of a one-flesh love relationship not science (10). Us as human being should learn to accept what we are given. People may say, well God gave us the knowledge to know how to clone, so why would it be against him? What they don 't understand is that God gave us the knowledge to use it in his power not against him. Another interesting fact to state is when they get older they will have so many questions as of who they are as their own person. How could you answer a question like that? You honestly really can’t because they aren’t their own person they are a copy of a copy. God didn’t create them science did. When you look at the moral point of it why would scientist want to clone anyways, is it because they are trying to create a new brand of humans for experiments? There was …show more content…
One of those is cloning could save numerous peoples lives. Even though cloning humans for their organs is wrong in so many ways, but if they are only taking organs that the clone can live without then it wouldn 't be as bad. They also explain how cloning humans could possibly cure cancer. They can make it possible if cloning helps them better understand cell differentiation. Cell differentiations is how generic embryonic cells become specialized cells. Cell differentiations describes how much or how little tumor tissue looks like the normal tissue it came from. All these experiments could lead to a big change in the human

    In the article “Ethical Issues of Cloning” by Rita Putatunda explains about the problems of cloning. Copying the genes and making new reproductions of the human is equivalent to “playing God”. The successful cloning of Dolly (Sheep) in 1997 brings many tension upon society and furthers the possibility of human cloning. However, there is a high failure rate of cloning and it may alter the genes of the cloned animal/human. Putatunda questions that the cloning outcome might act as a unique individual or have to live like a genetic prisoner.…

    The medical advances we could have makes it hard to say that it is wrong. I also think that reproductive cloning should be legally okay.

    Cloning is a sin in front of god because in the bible it says “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them “Genesis 1:27. God created people in his own image, and for babies to be created in mother’s womb, in the natural way not in a test tube. Anyone who follows God and believes in the bible should not say cloning is right especially just for organ donation, because nobody should take away the life of another person because only God can take away lives. Men did not create our life but God did so a man should not have any right to take anybody’s life because only the creator can take what he gave ys therefore killing clones for donation purpose is murdering and it should be a crime. If people keep on cloning to save their loved ones or in the memory of them, then the generation is not going anywhere because we are going to keep on cloning the people that were here.…
