Should Human Cloning Be Permitted?
For years, part of the American public, and humans in general, have been fascinated
with the possibility of creating human life by other than natural means. There are many who
strongly disagree with the idea of human cloning. It certainly wasn't surprising when they
were able to clone a sheep and will not be the least surprised if someday scientist's
will be able to clone a human being. Should cloning for human benefits or even human
cloning itself be allowed in society today? That is a question we must ask ourselves?
On one side of the issue are those who believe that human cloning should be permitted.
One thing that shows this, is what human cloning research may bring. Those who opposed
to a ban believe that human cloning research could bring substantial benefits, including the
development of new treatments for cystic fibrosis, other diseases and the ability to create
animal with normal compatible organs for transplant. (1."Should Congress Prohibit All
Human Cloning Experimentation",Pg 34). From my opinion, I believe that human cloning
is just a huge step towards negativism in human life's, rather than simply being the next
step in fertility technology. There might be a possibility that human cloning research may
result in the discovery of a cure for diseases and the growing of human organs, but the
disadvantages are that many years as well as money may be need it.
Also several experts told the committee that cloning might be the only chance for many
infertile couples to have their own genetically related children.(2.Gorman,Pg66). For what I
see these cases are rarely seen, and the little amount of couples who suffer of infertility are
more likely to adopt a child. Infertility, is not the cause. This is not the main reason why
scientists are coming up with the idea of human cloning. What I believe...
