The author belief, the acceptance of cloning as a reproductive solution should consider

Scholars claim that most human experiments often resulted on negative effects both during and after the experiments. In addition, current researches on animal cloning show a number of significant birth defect suffered by the cloned animals. Indeed, the problems often apparent on the later stage of life, which resulted on the unexpected deaths of the cloned. Moreover, the process required producing human cloning do not fit with the traditional knowledge of human reproduction. The existence of soul within the cloned child also influences the complexity in defining a cloned as a child. Since, the lack of freedom inherit by the cloned children prohibit them to write their own …show more content…
This article has giving me an insight about different way in assessing the issue about human cloning. It changes the way I used to think about human cloning. Typically, articles about human cloning only covers the issue arise between religion and science in discussing about the human cloning issue. It fails to describe the issue from different perspective such as society, ethics and law which successfully done by this article. I am totally agree with the author when instead of using the word ‘reproduction’ he uses the word ‘replication’ in defining cloning. The difference between human and other living creature is about the ability of ‘being and becoming’. The choice we made, the act we did make us what we are. The future is not already written for us, but we write it as we experience our life. It makes us become human being. This definition of human being hardly fit with the cloned child, which is an precise duplicate of it’s
