"Due to the potential advantages for pharmaceutical companies farmers, and research agencies, mammalian cloning is likely to become a common technology towards the end of this decade" (Smith 923). Allowing scientists to create a doppelganger will certainly open a new set of ideas in the science field; life can be recreated all in the hands of a scientists. Cloning in science will lead to a whole new style of living by helping those in need through medical advancements, the reviving of extinct or endangered species, and the ability to create children for the childless.
The ability to recreate a damaged organ and donate it to those in need of a transplant can really be life saving for many people who find themselves struggling to find a matching …show more content…
The article written by Bioethics mainly focuses on discussing the purposes to clone children for the childless. "If a man could not produce sperm, cloning would allow him to have a child who is biologically related to him"("PCBE: Human Cloning and Human Dignity: An Ethical Inquiry -- Full Report" 2002).Couples who desire a biological child and are faced with infertility obstacles would benefit from cloning to produce children because they would no longer be stripped from the opportunity of bearing their biological child that carries their genetic inheritance. This is of great importance to many couples because it will preserve their bloodline for many generations to come.Bioethics continues to talk about the purposes of the cloning of children and the reasons to do so. "Human cloning could allow couples at risk of generating children with genetic disease to have healthy children. If both parents carried one copy of a recessive gene for the same heritable disorder, cloning might allow them to ensure that their child does not inherit the known genetic disease without having to resort to using donor gametes or practicing preimplantation or prenatal genetic diagnosis and elimination of afflicted embryos or fetuses"("PCBE: Human Cloning and Human Dignity: An Ethical Inquiry -- Full …show more content…
Therefore, if people are able to genetically engineer a human life and alter their design to desires and specifications, with the possibility to enhance intelligence and remove defective genes, they are imitating God.Although, cloning can be seen as unethical due to its genetic altering, a blind eye can not be turned to the many benefits cloning can have in healing people with existing diseases and avoiding children being born with genetic diseases. "Embryonic stem cells can be grown to produce organs or tissues to repair or replace damaged ones. Skin for burn victims, brain cells for the brain damaged, spinal cord cells for quadriplegics and paraplegics, hearts, lungs, livers, and kidneys could be produced. By combining this technology with human cloning technology it may be possible to produce needed tissue for suffering people that will be free of rejection by their immune systems. (Smith "The Benefits of Human Cloning" 2002).Cloning for the purpose of medical treatment, healing, and preventive purposes, overpowers the ethical debate of "playing God". When weighed on the balance scale, cloning in science out weighs "playing God" with its numerous benefits to man, allowing a person to live a disease free life.Cloning in science is definitely a controversial topic, many people view it as crossing ethical lines. When we look
