Human Cloning Ethical Essay

Decent Essays
Cloning has been around since the seventeen hundreds. Scientist have experimented on many living organisms, anything that has cells, scientist would or have tried to clone. Human cloning has only been debated about, there has not yet been experiments on cloning the entire human body. The furthest scientists have gotten to cloning a whole body is cloning a sheep and even then it wasn’t a whole body. Scientist are cloning cells and manipulating them they have not gotten to the point of cloning a human. Human cloning has the potential be the next big thing one day and scientist would be proud coming this far along. Human Cloning is a process, which is still being experimented on, yet many people constantly argue whether it is ethical or unethical. …show more content…
Human cloning will further human evolution because technically this would be a new type of human existence on this earth. Yount goes on to mention “Cloning will, in contrast, reproduce the same genetic makeup of an existing individual. Human Cloning can be really easy when it comes to cloning a child or parent “Human cloning scenarios that ethicists ponder most frequently fall into two broad categories: 1.) Parents who want to clone their child, either to provide transplants for a dying child or to replace a child, and 2.) Adults who for a variety of reasons might want to clone themselves.” (Herbert 130) It’s amazing how technology such as cloning can change mankind. Human cloning is genetic engineering and it is a manipulation of replacing/ duplicating a human body and it is technology trying to enhance human abilities and talents, which could help future society. There is no room for new traits to arise by mutation…” that explains how human cloning will be the exact same person physically. Levick goes on to mention “other kinds of closeness and intimacy in the parental relationship”(211) for people …show more content…
The against side was more persuasive because I agree with Dudley when he mentions how cloning humans can be playing god and that’s where I completely agree because once it gets to that point I think it is immoral since it’s not “natural” anymore and it’s simply humans trying to recreate something that humans don’t even know as a fact how humans came on this world. Without the scientific aspect of cloning it’s unethical taking a human body and making a duplicate person. There are many arguments on whether human cloning should be legal or illegal because there are so many risks and unknown possibilities. If cloning humans becomes legal I think it should closely be monitored because of certain risks we don’t know about and are all these risks worth taking just for science to be “advanced.” Some people could potentially say the connection between twins could happen with cloning and may want that but things like that aren’t always

    I personally believe that cloning could be both a good and bad thing, and both sides make absolutely great points in their arguments. However, I believe that we should be able to have the choice whether or not we want to contribute to it or if we do not. Nevertheless, I think it depends on the reasoning you have for wanting and/or needing cloning done. I do believe that not all forms are ethically correct. I do agree with therapeutic cloning, as it could help people who may have cancer of a certain organ, that way they can clone the organ and just receive it instead of being put on a waiting list to find a potential match.…

    Deciding which topic to use for my annotated bibliography wasn’t so much a “walk in the park.” At first, I wanted to choose something I could relate too or have a connection with. The more I started brainstorming, the more I realized that my topic shouldn’t be decided on something I could relate to with an experience I have had my self, but more of something that I find interest on. That’s when I decided that I wanted to choose Human Cloning as my topic. I began thinking more thoroughly to figure out what exactly I wanted to write about using this topic.…

    In addition, I found the argument made was informative, intuitive and very convincing. He provides valid reasons why he believes that the cloning of human beings is repugnant, “cloning creates serious issues of identity and individuality. The cloned person may experience concern about his distinctive identity, not only because he will be in genotype and appearance identical to another human. But, in this case, because he may also be twin to the person who is his “father or mother.” It is very hard sometime figuring out who you are as a person, how does scientist expect cloned person to navigate that process.…
