Cloning Gone Wrong ¨It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.¨ - Albert Einstein. Nowadays technology has increased all around us. It could help us in a positive way or a negative way. We are very likely to uses technology for the simplest things on a daily bases but also uses it to help us understand much harder things. Cloning has been a debatable topic for many years. Technology has helped us get to the point in history that we are capable to clone humans. Within Jekyll and Hyde, Dr. Jekyll’s experiment is like cloning in today’s society. Cloning should not be further tested because of the dangers to society, psychological differences between clones and others, and medical ethics. Provided that cloning

The biggest concern about cloning is the misuse of DNA is more directed to the genetic engineering. It will increase the person's talents and create the person with specifications (Wray and Sheler). Everyone wants to clone for different reasons but some are inhuman. ¨Supporters of the tight Weldon ban warned of embryo farms and headless humans cloned to harvest their organs. ‘Human beings should not be cloned to stock a medical junkyard of spare parts for experimentation,’ declared Tom DeLay¨ (Gibbs, et al). Treating the clones like they are like animals is not right in any ways and unethical. Many things could go wrong and right now scientists have gone within the donor's DNA to enter it to find the information to clone that was switched off. The problem is they do not know how to turn it on. They have also they have experimented with replacing their genes who are missing or are defective (Elmer-DeWitt and Bjerklie). With theses risks many scientists and leaders thought that wouldn’t further experiment with cloning humans. ¨The goal was simple: stop anyone from trying to clone a human, a prospect that strikes just about everyone as medically dangerous and morally repugnant¨ (Gibbs, et al). In view of the book, Jekyll made a potion to turn into Hyde. As Hyde got stronger, Jekyll didn’t need the potion …show more content…
Cloning could also come in handy because they could test curse to disease. ¨A majority of Americans and members of Congress favor such research, which holds great promise in curing such diseases as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and diabetes¨ (Gibbs, et al). Also with curing diseases, they could find new medicines for cancer or viruses. Also it could help other things like pregnancies. ¨A woman with only one embryo has about a 10 percent to 20 percent chance of getting pregnant through in-vitro fertilization. If that embryo could be cloned and turned into three or four, the chances of a successful pregnancy would increase significantly¨ (Elmer-DeWitt and Bjerklie). This would be beneficial for women because they do not have to go back in for more trials if they cloned the embryo. It would same time and money. On the other hand of the debate, ¨the vast majority of scientists and lawmakers view human reproductive cloning—cloning for the purpose of making a human baby—immoral¨ (¨What Clone?¨). This could cause many problems like what will happen to them when their donor dies or if they get sick? No one would know what kind of medicine to give a clone because it is new science and no one has experimented with them. In additional, to clone something it takes about $100,000 or more to get the supplies that are you need (Wray and Sheler). Regarding the
