Cloning Or Lab-Made Clones?

Decent Essays
Are lab made clones the same as naturally made humans? What is cloning anyways, clones are the exact genetic copies. Every single bit of their DNA is identical. Clones can happen naturally or been made in a lab. Do the one’s in the lab contain the same qualities as the natural born clones? For example, natural born humans grow up with parents and lab made clones live in a machine. Do lab made clones have a conscience like natural born humans? Clones may have the memories and individuality as the actual human. But the differences from natural cloning and lab made clones is that lab-made ones are from out of a glass tube like a science experiment, and we have all seen science experiments fail. What if one wrong mixture causes one bad gene to

    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.…

    “More than 123,000 people are waiting for organ transplants. Some won’t receive a transplant in time, some suffer through years of pain and medical care before finally receiving the transplant they need, and others are rejected the opportunity of a transplant because they don’t meet the criteria. The average waiting time for a heart transplant is 4 years, a kidney transplant 5 years, and a liver transplant 11 years,” (Life Donor Program). Although theologians, politicians, preachers, and the medical community wrestle with the ethical ramifications of therapeutic cloning, the medical benefits outweigh the ethical concerns. Due to the research and technology today, scientists have learned that they are able to take stem cells from a patient and grow organs and tissue that are explicit to their own DNA so there’s no risk of rejection.…

    In the Associated Press article “Scientists successfully clone monkeys; are humans up next?” Malcolm Ritter, a science reporter from New York City states that, researchers have successfully cloned two female macaques by using the same methods used to produce Dolly the sheep. This is a huge breakthrough because there has never been a successful clone produced from the primate family, which includes monkeys, apes, and humans. Furthermore, Muming Poo of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai stated that “the feat means humans can be cloned.” But that is not the desired intention; cloning of babies if fairly frowned upon by society.…

    Are clones human beings? This question is something to ponder, and it is quite bothersome to the brain. They perform and act like human beings, but they are copies of another person. Michael Bay’s film, The Island, takes place in an underground society, Merrick’s Corporation, full of clones. Controllers program the clones to believe they are safe from the outside-contaminated world.…

    Often in science fiction the debate of what is possible arises to stretch the imagination beyond the usual bounds. In Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, clones pull at the limits of the readers’ mind, not only with their successful human existence but also with their multi-dimensional thoughts and emotions. Addressed in “More Human than Human” written by Chung Chin-Yi, clones, although created artificial, have their own original and unique emotion. He even states, “…it is the clones who are capable of emotional depths and compassion as well as love while it is the humans who commit atrocities and are inhumane,” (Chin-Yi, 1). Chin-Yi claims the clones do in fact have souls, and are more human than the humans although they are mere copies.…

    In science, cloning is defined as the processes used to create copies of fragments of DNA, cells or organisms. Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human. A clone is an organism that has generally identical genetic composition to another organism. Cloning could happen artificially, which is done in a lab or naturally, which is the case in identical twins. Cloning is broken down into three different types: gene cloning, reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning.…

    Human Cloning is a great example of how Huxley’s warnings about science and technology are just as relevant as they were back then. “Human Cloning is similar to Brave New World because everyone’s lives were created in a test tube just like the process of human cloning where cells are combined scientifically and the embryo is formed outside the human body.” (Zucker, et al) “In addition to this, in The Brave New World Soma was used as a form of happiness, false happiness. It drew the society away from any form of true love and relationships just as Human Cloning is used to make people fit a certain image.”…

    What does it mean to play god? If you’re Hollywood, it means tinkering with what man was never mean to tinker with: the genetic code. In movies, genetic modification is almost always portrayed in a negative light, often under the guise of man “playing god” when he was not meant to. GATTACA’s unethical eugenics, Interstellar’s lack of crop diversity, Jurassic Park’s unforeseen mutations, and Splice’s dangerous hybrids are all examples of how movies are often designed with genetic modification as the cause of conflict or danger. Some people may ask why this matters.…

    Currently the creation of cloning remains a debatable and moral disruption issued as unethical to the human race. Cloning takes away the uniqueness of species in the way that two or more people now share the same of everything especially genes which are supposed to be different from person to person. As science becomes more and more advanced, it seems to be taking humanity into science’s control. The issue of…

    When it comes to genetic engineering this saying comes to mind most disagreements are cause by different perceptions that create different realities. There is so many ways to viewpoints to technology that leave the question is there even a right and a wrong to the scientific advancement of new genetics. Truth is no matter what your stance is on genetics you cannot believe the best thing to do is have the scientists should stop the development or to believe what they 're doing is completely okay. Society tends to make a reality to what they assume is what the consequences will be while the scientist and government try to make a different reality. Genetic engineering have potential to perpetuate our disparities, the role responsibility and knowledge…
