  • Human cloning is not normal.
  • According to the website it states, “ Could human beings now begin making carbon copies of themselves? If so, will those with the means use cloning to essentially cheat mortality?[...] The cloning of human beings, many concluded, would be biologically wrong, socially misguided, and morally and ethically repugnant.”.
  • Cloning was not meant to exist. It itself goes against nature.
  • Human clones would not be able to live long.
  • According to the text, it states, “The technology is unsafe. The nuclear transfer technique that produced Dolly required 277 embryos, from which only one healthy and viable sheep was produced.[1]The other foetuses were hideously deformed and either died or were aborted. Even today, cloning animals through somatic cell nuclear transfer is simply inefficient. The success rate ranges from 0.1 percent to 3 percent, which means that for every 1000 tries, only one to 30 clones are made. Or you can look at it as 970 to 999 failures in 1000 tries. Moreover, Ian Wilmut and other commentators have noted that we cannot know whether clones will suffer from premature ageing as a result of their elderly genes. Dolly the sheep herself suffered from premature arthritis.There are also fears that the reprogramming of the nucleus of a somatic cell in order to trigger the cell division that leads to the cloning of an individual may result in a significantly increased risk of cancer.”

  • Human cloning does not exist in this society and if it did society itself would change.
  • According to the text, it states, “The ethical issues surrounding the topic of cloning mainly focus on human cloning, although some people have explored ethical issues in animal cloning. (Because very little could be found free on the Web about the ethics of animal cloning, that is not included here for now). One distinction to keep in mind when reading ethical statements about human cloning is the difference between reproductive cloning (to produce a new human being or animal) and therapeutic cloning (now often referred to simply as somatic cell nuclear transfer) which creates an embryo for research or therapeutic purposes, such as to create stem cells, but not to implant into a mother."

  • Society needs to change.
  • According to the text it states, “Since 1997, gradual improvements in cloning technology have enabled researchers to generate mouse, cattle, goat, pig, deer, rabbit, cat, mule, and horse clones. While there have been no substantiated evidence for the cloning of humans, recent successes by South Korean researchers in generating stem cells from cloned human embryos have heightened concerns that this scenario is not beyond the realm of possibility.In spite of recent technological advances, animal cloning remains extremely inefficient”

Though cloning may seem to have a positive impact later on it may cause more problems then it originally solved.

Should human cloning be allowed?

Diversity would not exist anymore

Cloning goes against nature.

  • Can change the idea of being different.
  • Less acceptance of difference.
  • According to the text, it states “Cloning will lead to a lack of diversity amongst the human population as it is creating genetic copies rather than increasing diversity by mixing genes”.

Cloning can save lives

Cloning can help improve society

  • Human cloning can save people.
  • According to the text, it states “Cloning for research and therapy involves the creation of an embryo via SCNT, but instead of transferring the cloned embryo to the uterus in order to generate a pregnancy, it is used to obtain pluripotent stem cells.”

Human cloning should be allowed

Cloning can help humans become more advanced

  • Human cloning helps human move forward.
  • According to the text it states, “ helping infertile couples who have had no luck with other infertility treatments to have children or allowing a parent bearing a gene for a debilitating disease such as Huntington's chorea to avoid passing the gene onto his or her child. In theory, specialists could also use cloning to grow embryonic stem cells into vital organs, blood, or tissue, which doctors could then use for transplants, transfusions, and other replacement interventions,”. Cloning is not something that humans can do naturally, however cloning does solve problems that can exist in human society.

Siblings can save each other

  • Human cloning would allow parents save their child.
  • According to the text it states “ In 2000 the baby Adam Nash was born, genetically manipulated through IVF, as a genetic fit to cure his sister Molly from Fanconi anemia.[1] While this was not cloning it gives an idea what cloning could possibly cure. It could be a way of curing siblings from chronic diseases and also ensuring that the transplants (for example) will not be rejected due to genetic differences”

Clones can not have long lives

Human cloning should not be allowed.

People would not have to depend on someone else to have a child

  • If human clones exist people do not have to have two parents but can only have one.
  • According the text, it states, “Single people will be able to produce offspring without even the physical presence of a partner,”

Clones would have feelings

  • They would have emotions just like any other human
  • Instead of living for themselves they would live as an replacement for the original, in case they need any parts.
  • According to the text, it states, “And there is no reason, in any case, to suppose that a clone would be any more willing or effective a soldier than any other human being - clones (like twins) are just as conscious and free as everyone else,”.
