Human Cloning - Up to the Individual :: Argumentative Persuasive Topics

Human Cloning - Up to the IndividualTo consider the cloning of another merciful being forces me to question the very concepts of right and wrong that make us solely adult male. Until the birth of Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to be success skilfuly cloned, it was conception that the ability to clone an adult human was im come-at-able or would and be possible somewhere in the distant future But that has all changed with the birth of Dolly and the explosion of advances in the field of Embryology and genetic screening. These advances are leading the way forward for the cloning of an adult human, which brings up many bran-new ethical and complicated questions that I feel must be addressed by the scientific community and the public, before these advances can reach there full potential. As with any scientific or technological advance, it brings around questions that I feel must be answered Do the pros out weight the advantages, and more importantly is it right? Will Human Clon ing become a brave new step in fighting disease and improving the quality of life, or will it lead to dehumanisation and a new genetic underclass? People say and strongly believe that biologists are cloning human embryos only to see how far they can push the scientific barriers. However not all things are corrupt, I believe, as do the leaders of Great Britain, that it is possible that the reasons behind Human Cloning, Embryology and genetic screening may be legitimate. Cloning could help improve the life of future generations. Although I still prefer the sentiment of these scientists spending all this money and their effort on finding a cure for a disease that has or will affect many of us in one way or another cancer I still keep an open mind about this subject as most of the embryologists and biologists claim that they are doing this as they feel that they put on a duty to the improvement of our society, or even perhaps a moral obligation. To this end the techniques have been o ffered to society as an option for the improvement of humanity. The human race is in the early stages of defining human cloning and what it means. The human race is defining it as a science as opposed to an art or religion, specifically a kind of science that is called Biotechnology. Biotechnology is the study into the design and manufacture of the human body.
