Write an essay about - If human beings can be cloned
Answers
Heya....
Here is your answer...
The cloning of animals has been occurring for a number of years now, and this has now opened up the possibility of cloning humans too. Although there are clear benefits to humankind of cloning to provide spare body parts, I believe it raises a number of worrying ethical issues.
Due to breakthroughs in medical science and improved diets, people are living much longer than in the past. This, though, has brought with it problems. As people age, their organs can fail so they need replacing. If humans were cloned, their organs could then be used to replace those of sick people. It is currently the case that there are often not enough organ donors around to fulfill this need, so cloning humans would overcome the issue as there would then be a ready supply.
However, for good reasons, many people view this as a worrying development. Firstly, there are religious arguments against it. It would involve creating another human and then eventually killing it in order to use its organs, which it could be argued is murder. This is obviously a sin according to religious texts. Also, dilemmas would arise over what rights these people have, as surely they would be humans just like the rest of us. Furthermore, if we have the ability to clone humans, it has to be questioned where this cloning will end. Is it then acceptable for people to start cloning relatives or family members who have died?
To conclude, I do not agree with this procedure due to the ethical issues and dilemmas it would create. Cloning animals has been a positive development, but this is where it should end.

The Benefits of Human Cloning In recent years, many new breakthroughs in the areas of science and technology have been discovered. A lot of these discoveries have been beneficial to scientific community and to the people of the world. One of the newest breakthroughs is the ability to clone. Ever since Ian Wilmut and his co-workers completed the successful cloning of an adult sheep named Dolly, there has been an ongoing debate on whether it is right or wrong to continue the research of cloning (Burley). Recently, in February 2001, CNN conducted a poll that stated, 90% of American adults think that cloning humans is a bad idea (Robinson). Even though the majority of Americans are opposed to human cloning,
Scientists have done research that may make it possible to cure diseases with cloning. Cancer patients will be able to have their cells switched on and off through cloning and this may lead to a better understanding this disease and maybe even a cure for cancer (Human Cloning). Scientists also believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy hearts and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged. (Human Cloning). Dr. Richard Seed, one of the leading proponents of human cloning technology, also proposes that it may someday be possible to reverse the aging process because of what is learned from cloning (Human Cloning). If the research of human cloning is continued, scientists will be able to understand different diseases even more and they may even find the cures for these diseases
Not only does human cloning have medicinal benefits, it also can help infertile parents have children. In March 2001, a group of Italian scientists decided that they are going to go ahead with human cloning to help infertile couples have children (Ali)
Hope it will help you ☺❤
