Human Cloning
“Chung and his team only had two out of thirty-nine tries that produced an embryo”(Cha). Human cloning is engineering of an identical copy of a human’s genes. If this process doesn’t go right, scientist are taking the embryos and destroying them in a manner that is unethical. The Bible says that God gave us life as a blessing; therefor, we should choose life so our offspring may live. Human cloning needs to be stopped because it goes against our religious beliefs, it can be harmful to both the child and mother, and during the long process of developing the embryos and fetuses, many are abnormal or die.
Dolly the sheep was born on February 22, 1997, in a lab in Scotland. Dolly was known to be the first successfully cloned mammal from an adult cell. Placing a cell in a …show more content…
Most of the time, the attempts fail with the embryos dying. “Attempts to clone humans in the near future would probably result in malformed fetuses and babies who would die soon after birth,” (qtd. in Moraczewki and Klotzko 1J+). “…The work that produced Dolly also produced many dead fetuses and abnormal lambs.” This quote by Dr. Wilmut shows the importance’s of how many attempts scientists develop and what a long process it is to actually get a clone to produced fully and lives without any defects. “God created man in his image, in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them” (Bible Gn 1:27). Human cloning is wrong because like God said we are made in His image, scientists shouldn’t clone people to look like each other. If the clone does survive, it has a high risk of having later defects, like Dolly. Scientists decided to put Dolly down after six years because her lungs were closing. So if Dolly can only live six years and had birth defects her whole life, should a human have to go through that just because people want their offspring to be a certain
