Human Cloning
...of what is really at stake. Trying to stop the intellectual progress, in any form, is a terrible mistake. Furthermore, the technology is in principle, unstoppable. In other words, you could not really stop research on human cloning if you wanted to. Society cannot continue living on a prayer; as a whole it has to see that it can benefit from the techniques involving cloning not only in humans, but also in animals. These include improve livestock herds and production of protein enriched pharmaceuticals. After that, we have one of the biggest questions about cloning, “Is it right?” 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. A Time Magazine poll (March 10th, 1997) reported that 74% of those asked believe that it is against God’s will to clone humans. However, thinking that cloning humans is playing God is not actually true as no one can actually prove what God’s intentions were when creating the earth and the creatures on it. All I can say is “is it right?” I say yes, but that is not for me to decide that is up to the individual. Finally, I still keep an open mind about this subject as most the embryologists and biologist’s claim that they are doing this as they feel that they have a duty to the improvement of our society, or even perhaps a moral obligation. To this end the techniques have been offered 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. As always there are the negative aspects: with genetic engineering and human cloning it is possible to use these in the arsenal of ethnic cleansing creating inequality in our society, which would be the beginning of many wars, and that is something that the scientists, biologists, embryologists, as well as...
