Ethics of Cloning
For the first time the cloning of a whole human being seems really possible. It is absolutely necessary to consider the harm that can be done and move to curb abuses. Also, it is important to understand some of the theory underlying the desire to build a better human.With recent developments in the cloning of the first whole mammal with Dolly the Sheep, for the first time the cloning a whole human being seems really possible. For years, clones have been the subject of popular fiction, but the technology was lacking. Now the ethics of doing so must be carefully considered. While almost all world health and religious bodies are coming out in opposition to the idea, it must be accepted that someone somewhere will try it. Thus, it is absolutely necessary to consider the harm that can be done and move to curb abuses.What immediately springs to mind for most people with the possibility of cloning whole people is the ideas of creating supermen or a master race which dominated the Nazis. But the theories of eugenics from whi
One of the large questions is whether clones would be treated as fully human or as a means to someone else's end. Forced sterilization was one means of accomplishing this goal. Even if an organ such as a kidney, however, is harvested, to take it from another child created for that purpose is to arguably abuse it. It is entirely possible that there would be the creation of a new and stigmatized social class of "The Clones" (Herbert, Sheler, and Watson). In addition, the World Health Organization, a part of the United Nations, has called for a total ban, as has the Vatican ("Vatican").
