Moreover, with cloning being such unexplored territory, several unidentifiable health risks could appear in both animals and humans. In his article, Heimbach discusses a huge risk in creating human clones being the large amounts of uncertainly that could arise, over the potentially hazardous sickness. This would be a direct cause of humans reducing the diversity in
Lopez 7 the gene pool, thus weakening a natural human barrier everyone has built into their bodies and becoming more vulnerable to infectious diseases. Another point made by Heimbach is the possibility of humans being born with defects or being able to pass on extreme sickness such as cancer easier with each clone produced. This article makes a valid point because humans don’t know …show more content…
Heimbach discuses in his article that, cloning can be seen as a direct violation of God’s wishes and commandments for human kind. If cloning is referred to as species suicide since humans would slowly be weeding out the population, and violating the sixth commandment of the Bible “thou shall not murder” (Heimbach). This would be making all of human’s murders and corrupting God’s view of us as individuals. Coincidentally the National Human Genome Research Foundation also states that human cloning with conflict with longstanding religious beliefs and infringe upon a person’s view of society. Cloning could potentially cause people to believe …show more content…
As time continues, research and scientific methods only improve, bringing mankind one step closer to the sweet taste of victory scientist strive for and being able to say they copied another human life. However, is this really what the rest of the world wants, because it goes against many religious view point and can ultimately deprive humans of the life they are all promised since the second they are born into this country. For theses reasons, cloning human life should be taken with caution and viewed as a life threating action, since the direct outcome is so uncertain and would more or less be a gamble. As George Annas once said, “Cloning of a human being is intuitively and properly viewed with almost uniform horror, because replication of a human by cloning would radically alter the very definition of what a human being is.” One thing to remember is that there is no turning back. Once scientist have cloned a human life this will only spiral out of control until one day a person wont know how’s a clone and who’s not; and in turn this will take away the individuality and identity of every single person on the
