Should Cloning Be Allowed?

Is it fair that someone is murdered, but the murderers get away pronounced innocent? That is exactly what happened in the case of OJ Simpson and Lizzie Borden. On the night of June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were were found gruesomely slashed to death at the entrance to Nicole’s home. It is believed that OJ was responsible for this murder. This case caused confusion and question to who did this in public reactions. Years before this case, there was a similar case. On August 4, 1892, Andrew Borden and Abbie Borden were found murdered in their home. There were similarities on how the victims were killed in this murder and in the other one. This murder caused the majority of the public reactions to support Lizzie Borden,

In 1996, Dennis and Cindy Thompson, a couple on a business trip to Great Britain, spotted a black and white magical horse, Cushti Bok, in the middle of a field. Cushti Bok became the first Gypsy stallion to be imported to America. It was love at first sight for the couple and the this marvelous horse. They immediately met with the owner of this horse, who would soon invite them to a 300 years old traditional fair, the Appleby Fair. By 2015 over 4,000 Gypsy Vanner horses were registered horses. The Gypsy horse society was the first to register this breed, to recognize a selectively bred horse by the Gypsies of the British aisle. The Gypsy Vanner Horse Society (GVHS) has studied not only the horse, but also the people who have bred them. This

There should be no room to clone any human being nor animal. There is so much more to find out about our world then to test the non-achieved and inefficient process of cloning. Therefore I am against any type of cloning, whether therapeutic or reproductive. Andy vidak I write to you this letter, to give you a better understanding of why funding for cloning would set us back as a society. Genuinely I care about our future because I want our generation to be known as the one who did brilliant things. The excuse that cloning can potentially result in medical breakthrough is unacceptable because, like president George W. Bush said in his 2002 speech about human cloning, “We can pursue medical research with a clear sense of moral purpose.” (Office of the Press Secretary par. 12). Research cloning would contradict the most underlying principle of medical ethics, that no human life should be exploited for the convenience of another. For that reason I stand by

There are many good reasons to both develop cloning and incorporate it into modern medicine. Human cloning is extremely beneficial, but there are some downsides. Many of the problems are ethical in nature. Matthew Nisbet involved the public in his article. He polled the public on their opinions about human cloning and stem cell research. He found that “The public appears to have strong reservations about research that destroys embryos”

How has the idea of cloning affected the world today? Should scientists advance further through experimentation of human cloning? Cloning is a generic term that describes the fabrication of a biological material with the same genetic makeup as that of the original or copied material. Mammalian cloning has its benefits, such as the eradication of defective genes (gene cloning), the use of cloning as an alternative infertility treatment (reproductive cloning), and the provision of a companion of sorts (therapeutic cloning). However, recent statistics show that sixty percent proclaim it is morally wrong to clone animals and eighty-one percent state it is unacceptable to clone humans. Why?

I do not think that cloning should not be allowed in the United States let alone in the rest of the world. It can be done on people and animals after they are dead. People think that cloning will ease the pain of the dead when the clone is not the same person. The person or animal is gone and the clone is not going to ease the pain. You just have to deal with the pain and you will slowly get through it cloning will never get rid of it.

Cloning is “the creation of exact copies of a gene, cell, or entire organism” (“Cloning”). Many objects can be cloned such as plants and cells. The topic of cloning becomes controversial when the focus is toward humans. It is evident that cloning of other species and organisms is possible. Because of this, the thought of human cloning has arisen in the science community within the previous few centuries. According to a poll produced by Time Magazine, ninety-three percent of American’s are opposed to human cloning (“Human Cloning”). This proves that the advancement of this topic has developed far beyond our wisdom. If nearly one hundred percent of the population disagrees with even the idea of this experiment, it is evident that they are unaware of the ways in which this technology has advanced. Furthermore, this unpredictable outcome of cloning will be irreversible. “Whatever effects cloning might have, cloning would be like opening Pandora’s Box, because there would be no way to turn back once the technology was developed and in use” (“Human Cloning”). As has been noted, the science of human cloning is not yet understood therefore it has advanced far too quickly for society to

Human cloning is capable of aiding doctors and medical researchers in creating new medical treatments and therapies, which is also

There are two types of cloning, one of them is reproductive cloning which is when a whole organism is cloned and therapeutic cloning is the cloning of cells, organs or tissues. Cloning is when two cells decide or are forced to duplicate into two cells to replicate each other. Cloning can be done deliberately or naturally; and it results in two copies having identical cells, DNA, genes, organs and organisms. Cloning is a common, ongoing, debatable topic among society today. Many people argue about how future scientific advances in cloning will affect society. Most often people dislike the idea of cloning because it goes against their ethical beliefs, or because they are in fear of it ending up in the wrong hands. But sometimes when the

The medical benefits of cloning have the potential to be the greatest breakthroughs in the field ever. There are so many it’s hard to just put your finger on one. The power of cloning will allow people to be cured of diseases that have never been cured before. These diseases include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes,

If a random individual were asked twenty years ago if he/she believed that science could clone an animal, most would have given a weird look and responded, “Are you kidding me?” However, that once crazy idea has now become a reality, and with this reality, has come debate after debate about the ethics and morality of cloning. Yet technology has not stopped with just the cloning of animals, but now many scientists are contemplating and are trying to find successful ways to clone human individuals. This idea of human cloning has fueled debate not just in the United States, but also with countries all over the world. I believe that it is not morally and ethically right

The cloning of humans is now very close to reality, thanks to the historic scientific breakthrough of Dr. Ian Wilmut and his colleagues in the UK. This possibility is one of incredible potential benefit for all of us. Unfortunately the initial debate on this issue has been dominated by misleading, sensationalized accounts in the news media and negative emotional reactions derived from inaccurate science fiction. Much of the negativity about human cloning is based simply on the breathtaking novelty of the concept rather than on any real undesirable consequences. On balance, human cloning would have overwhelming advantages if regulated in a reasonable way. A comprehensive ban on human cloning by a misinformed public would be a sorry

Another supplementary argument can be made on the topic of medical advancements made possible through the cloning process, mankind will be provided with organs and cells with which human’s lives will be saved. If a person needs an organ transplant the normal means of transplantation would involve the removal of an organ from another person. This organ could be rejected and many complications could arise, often with deadly repercussions. Human cloning would involve using the person’s own cells that could be cloned to produce a healthy, normal organ for use in the person. Through this process, there would be no

Many ethical and moral dilemmas arise when discussing human cloning, and one can have many positions for and against each. To understand the issues surrounding human cloning, one must have a basic

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. Conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, heart failure, and other problems may be made curable by human cloning. (“Cloning to Save Lives”)
