Cloning Argumentative Analysis

611 Words3 Pages

Imagine that you have a dog. It is a very cute dog that you love. You come home from school or work one day and you find that it has died. If you are sad, don’t be. With a scientific process called cloning you can get your dog back… well sort of. With cloning there are many good things that can come from it but with those pros, come some many cons as well. There are two kinds of people when it comes to cloning pets. The two types are the ones who are against cloning and those who are for cloning. In the article “Cloning Pets - What Do You Think?” those who are for cloning give valid statements such as “Cloning is a way honor a beloved pet and to ease the grief of losing a pet.” This tells us that cloning is used to help us cope with the pain of losing a pet and that we honor it by wanting the same traits in the next pet we get. Another statement that is made is this “ A lab in South Korea supplies police with …show more content…

I am against cloning because it just doesn’t seem fair to just copy pets like they are worthless. Each pet is unique and it should stay like that. Another reason why I am against cloning is because it would make me sad if I saw a copy of my old pet that I loved walking around my house and me knowing that it could never be the same. One more reason is that each successful clone has dozens of failures so you would have to put down a lot of animals just to get what you wanted. This is why my opinion is against rather than for cloning pets. Overall there are two sides to cloning your pets but I think it is wrong. Each side has their arguments that make plenty of sense and they know what they are talking about. I agree with both of them but I just think that it is stupid and that there are more cons than pros in this situation. There are good statements from both sides but I am against cloning, and stuffing your pets… that’s just

The subject of cloning can easily be related to the novel we have been reading, Frankenstein. Both have to do with the topic of bringing life into the world in an unnatural way. Just like bringing the monster to life was viewed differently to different people, cloning is the same. The event of Dolly the sheep, the first adult mammal clone, surviving the cloning process started a huge set of events that has made the amount research about cloning increase exponentially. This is very similar to how Victor Frankenstein creating the monster was the first action of many that eventually lead to his demise.

Cloning Twenty years ago, we wouldn't have imagined having all of the technology that we have today. Most people believe that each new form of technology or any new advancement that is made is meant to better benefit living things here on Earth. Cloning, being one of the more recent and interesting advancements made, has been argued to be hurting us more than helping us. Because of the amount of deaths compared to successful clones, the amount of animals in shelters, and the fact that you most likely will not get an exact clone are all reasons on why cloning is not benefiting us.

Dog breeding has long been a controversial topic and one that has been the subject of much discussion. I often saw the practice of breeding dogs as cruel and unnecessary, and many people argue it should be stopped completely. The primary reason to stop dog breeding is the obvious one: it is inhumane. Dogs are sentient creatures and should not be treated as commodities or products, but sadly, this is often the case in dog breeding.

That pets have an instinct to reproduce because they’re animals and we don’t have a right to take it away from them. Another possible argument is that they’re worried that putting an animal through unnecessary surgery is cruel to the animal for no reason. They don’t want to put them through

Cloning at the gene level is acceptable and is done extensively in research areas. However, therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning raises skepticism and debate both in the general society and the scientific community. Among the argument raised is the possibility of cloning human beings; whether the individuals derived are seen as a complete human with the whole set of human rights attached to them. Body >>> Scientific Advantage <<< 2 PAR Fiester (2005) states that most of the animal cloning projects are driven by the goal of meeting human needs such as treatment of diseases, food production, and entertainment. However, there are animal cloning projects aimed at conserving endangered or

Most people in our society, no matter what level of education that they may have, have heard of the cloning, specifically the cloning of Dolly the lamb, and have some notions regarding the idea of cloning humans. "The successes in animal cloning suggest to some that the technology has matured sufficiently to justify its application to human cloning" (Jaenisch et al.). However, not every agrees that human cloning is a something that should be put into practice (Hoskins). There generally seem to be two basic divisions on this issue: those who find it inappropriate and unethical, and those who find it a reasonable and necessary step in the progression of scientific research (Lustig).

Human cloning(modifying babies) is a process of producing new identical babies by altering their genomes. Some of studies show that scientists successfully cloned animals such as cows, Pigs, and sheep. For the past 3-5 years human cloning have a lot of debates and controversies between peoples.

Many scientists are trying to clone humans but is it ever justified? There are a whole lot of debates on this topic, and I am strongly against it. Human cloning is ethically wrong; there are many risks involved, which will lead to detrimental effects on human society. Before going into my points, I would like to talk about what cloning is. According to the National Human Genome Research Institute, cloning is “a number of different processes that can be used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity.”

The vote was 87 in support, 34 in opposition and 70 abstaining or absent. But the edict was non-binding.

Human cloning tends to take place in unreliable laboratories, with scientists who have limited knowledge on what to do if a step they take is incorrect because they are usually just experimenting in unknown territory. (is this true?? Lots of laws regarding cloning especially in the UK) This leads to major ethical difficulties as scientists are playing with human life. Furthermore, if a clone is made and there is even the slightest mishap, whereby the clone could be inclined to suffer if given the chance to grow, some would strongly oppose due to the fact that human life is so complex and needs a perfect designer, not a person in a laboratory wearing a white coat and plastic goggles.
