Cloning Ethics

Human Cloning is the process by which a human genome is replicated. First, they take cells without nutrients from the human to be cloned. Then, the scientists take an unfertilized egg cell and remove the nucleus then the egg cell with no nucleus is fused with the cells of the human (Health Guidance Human Cloning). This then develops into an embryo, which they put into the surrogate mother. A surrogate mother is a volunteer mother that the embryo is injected in. “The clone is then born from the surrogate mother. Cloning is fundamentally different from human reproduction says,” Gina Kolata in her book. Some people are morally and ethically against cloning. But, others also argue that human cloning is ethical and that there is nothing wrong with human cloning. Human Cloning is a very controversial topic around the world. In my opinion human cloning is a bad idea. I think this because… Well, you will see in the upcoming paragraphs.

Human Cloning can cause harm to the human body and is very dangerous. When the process of cloning is taking place it can have a negative physical impact on the human embryo and it could seriously damage it. This is why no human has been cloned yet. Secondly, human genes grow with human age. Imagine if you were to put a 35 years old gene into a human embryo. The baby then with those 35 year old genes would be born, yes it would be a clone but its life will be shortened greatly. Lastly, in addition to gene age affecting the life expectancy doctors have said that clones could possibly carry some abnormalities when they are born and that could also result in the clone’s life being shortened (University of Delaware Human Cloning.)

Human Cloning can also lead to many social difficulties. Some Scientists believ...

` As we’ve seen throughout this essay human cloning can be very beneficial, but it also can be very disadvantageous. I picked that human cloning is disadvantageous and I chose this side because, in my opinion human cloning is ethically wrong I think this because, cloning a persons personality and body, and being the exact same person as someone else is not something I’m in support of because everyone in this world is different and very unique and is like their own person which is what makes them themselves, and if there was someone else in the world exactly like me I wouldn’t really be happy and myself. Lastly, cloning is also very dangerous but not in a physical aspect; if cloning were to start as an everyday thing, some crazy person out there could abuse the science of cloning and use it in a harmful way against society (University of Delaware).
