The Pros And Cons Of Therapeutic Cloning

Bioethics, or the ethics involved in medical and biological research, is considered one of the hottest topics in modern science today. In particular, cloning is a subject on which many scientists and organizations have been discussing for two decades. So what is cloning? There are two main types of cloning, reproductive and therapeutic cloning. By each taking a stem cell from a living or human animal and fusing it with an egg to cultivate the fertilization process. Although both types of cloning take place essentially in the same process, the results and goals of each are completely different.The goal of reproductive cloning is simply to make an exact clone of who you first take the stem cell and the Therapeutic cloning is done to learn more about human development and the possibility of treating diseases by harvesting these stem cells. Although both can be

He is concerned that we as a society must stop showing everything and say that it will destroy our society and give examples like heart transplants, IVF, acid rain, and so on. Crying the wolf once too much, we will lose our interest when the real danger comes and we will not do anything about it. It also gives a transhumanist argument that "Transhumanists have an evolutionary vision of what they want to achieve through technology" (Bostrom 2001). Many transhumanists believe in the benefits and dangers of pushing human limitations through new technologies. In this case, Bostrom argues that the only thing that can happen in reproductive cloning is that those who were once unable to conceive naturally, now have a channel to be able to make babies who were once unable to be
