Is Cloning Wrong

Superior Essays
How would you like it if there were two of you running around? Well that 's not really going to happen, but In this day and age cloning has become increasingly more popular. Many scientists have tried to clone animals and cells, some of them have succeeded as living proof with a sheep that was given the name dolly. I reviewed the American Medical Association (AMA) website on cloning. The AMA is bases out of Chicago and was founded in 1847. The AMA is involved in many medical papers and articles dealing with the medical field. Their article on cloning helps illuminate the world of cloning in a way to make it clear and concise to the audience. The AMA teaches you about the trials and errors of cloning and digs into some of the laws preventing …show more content…
Takes away the diversity in the population with multiple things having the same DNA it can make it where disease roles in can easily pass through the group with the same DNA and take them all out. The social issues of cloning lean towards to emphasis on human clones in terms of both availability of cloning technology and addition of clones into society; Think about the cost it will be to implicate the whole cloning thing in to society who will be able to afford it. Reproductive cloning raises the question of cost and who should have access. However, the major social argument is that cloning negates a person 's right to individuality and disregards the potential emotional effects of such a parentless and de-personalized identity. Even the cloning of animals is not socially expectable “Despite years of research, over 95% of cloning attempts fail, even with extensive veterinary intervention.” ( 2010 American Anti-Vivisection Society) Animal cruelty is very frowned upon and so the growing and killing of animals just for their meat is not something that society is ready to be a part of yet. Cloning is science trying to take God out of everything from the creation of life to ever the making of humans and our origin, an equality not observed as appropriate as human’s deficiency omniscience. Morally, the arguments are larger. The ethics of animal research come into production, where numerous, such as the moral philosopher Peter Singer, …show more content…
Almost all people are against animal cruelty and the raising of animals just for the slaughter. By making Clones we take God out of the system and puts us in to the system and make it were humans will no longer see the point of having a god to believe in if they can do everything that the bible say he can do. Throughout history the bible and science have been going neck and neck but when will humanity realize just because they have the technology to do something god like should they really do

    The development of cloning technology led to new ways to produce medicine and improving the understanding of genetics. Cloned animals can be used to carry human traits that could lead to new developments in medicine. Also this could lead to human cloning, but this has not been legalized so far due to people's ethics. Although this process lead to a success in Dollie’s case, there…

    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.…

    The medical advances we could have makes it hard to say that it is wrong. I also think that reproductive cloning should be legally okay. Many women these days are deemed infertile by a doctor, there unable to conceive by themselves. With the help of human cloning, it is possible for women to have the chance to carry their own child and not have to use a surrogate mother. That really gives you a perspective on how important cloning could be to someone.…

    When the sheep Dolly was born, cloning turned from a Science Fiction to a reality humans have to deal with on so many levels. Cloning to bring back distinct animals, create a new breads and for humans cloning either to produce children for people who can’t have them, to avoid DNA related diseases, to produce organs for sick people who need them, to get a fresh new clone of a lost loved ones or even create super humans. All that has raised a lot of talk among the public. Since Day one, cloning has been tagged with playing the role of “GOD”, and when that happens, first questions rushed to all our minds are; how Ethical/ Unethical would that be? And how safe is it for all the parties involved?…

    In 1996, the world had its first glimpse of a cloned animal in the form of Dolly the sheep. With that came much shock, not only in the scientific community but in the people of the world, because more and more people became interested with the notion of cloning. A big part in all of this was played by Dolly not just because it was a successful clone but because it opened up the world’s eyes on cloning (Aldridge par.3). But cloning is not just something where a person pops out of nowhere it is actually harder because scientist have to either get a stem cell from the host or either get the DNA from an animal and have the animal grow inside a closely related animal. Now more than ever, people have a great mind set on the ways they could help…

    By using cloning as a way to help prevent and treat diseases, it could save the lives of thousands who live with diseases everyday. Cloning organs to help fight diseases, seems like a great idea, but it needs to be taken into consideration that, the only reason for the cloning of the organ, is to test on it. Many people don’t feel comfortable with that, so that is where there might be a problem. But it’s still a great idea to clone organs, to help prevent diseases. A more political reason for the cloning of human body parts, is that is shows…

    Simon Smith stated, “Theories exist about how cloning may lead to a cure for heart attacks, a revolution in cosmetic surgery, organs for organ transplantation, and predictions abound about how cloning technology will save thousands of lives.” Therapeutic cloning will bring medical breakthroughs that we’ve never had before. Many adults aren’t able to have children and cloning will give them another option of having their own child. Also, cloning will be able to save animals from extinction and possibly bring back animals that are extinct.…

    Before I tell you my viewpoint you should get to understand the other side’s claim on the debate on Cloning. They say that it could be used to save lives and help those who cannot reproduce naturally. The possibilities of new advancements are endless. According to the scientists who helped provide information to the article “The Cloning Controversy” “Others said its benefits could range from duplicating embryos for in vitro fertilization to replacing a dying child.” This would help many parents who suffer loss or cannot reproduce effectively naturally have another chance to bring a new life into the world.…

    In spite of its pitfalls, the outcomes could change the future of medicine. Continuing this research could put an end to hereditary and degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis. Not only this, but there would no longer be a need to donate organs if scientists could regenerate organs and tissues through somatic cell transfer. Cloning research brings the public…
