Cloning is a clinical, unnatural manipulation of genetic material in order to produce life. In other words, it replaces the natural meaning of relationships between partners in order to get life. Clones are organisms that are exact genetic copies. Every single genes of their DNA is similar. Clones can be happened either naturally or laboratory. Naturally, identical twins are clones and there is many examples. Or laboratory, by following a scientific method of having exact genetic copies. What about the Catholic Church and its point of view concerning this topic?
The Catholic Church has …show more content…

Also this technology will decrease the natural role of women as mothers and lead to destroy their societal roles, allowing a woman to be the identical sister of her own descendant. In conclusion, the church claims that human cloning interrupts both society and the natural world. In the other side, the church makes an exception for animal cloning where it can be beneficial for mankind without hurting animal life. In other words, the Catholic Church has also said a number of practical concerns over the cloning procedure. For example, it argues, human cloning might take place at laboratories that have low standards where scientists perform without reliable standards that can hurt humanity. For instance, scientists could clone a person without their familiarity response and create psychosomatic problems for the cloned one and the clone himself who would have to live with his knowledge that there is a copy of him. The point of view of the church on cloning is related to issues including abortion, stem cell research, and even in vitro fertilization that are opposed from church. The church argues that life begins …show more content…

The supporters of both sides of this topic have many motives to clone or not to clone. In general, I am against cloning in all cases because the spirit is transferred to us through God because of love and our parents transferred it to us through love also through relation. Why some curious scientists have playing the role of God in their laboratories? Reproductive cloning would reduce the sense of uniqueness of an individual. It would interrupt deeply and widely convictions concerning human individuality and liberty, and could lead to a reduction of clones in comparison with non-clones. Also the cloned one will be raised "in the shadow" of their nuclear giver, which will lead to psychological issues. Scientifically speaking more than 95% of the experiments on cloning leads to a failure even after the born, here we should ask who we are to play on human life? Now let’s assume that cloning is a fact and every person has a clone, where the genetic engineering stop and for what they lead, do they have any limit? From the other side there is some cases cloning can be a solution for some medical issues for example clone can help those persons who cannot be helped by other fertility treatments (who do not produce eggs or sperm). Also imagine that some parents if they lose any of their child would have the ability to see it again and speak with him and take care about. From my point

There is the chance that cloning may be able to better how humans live. “ Will it produce more good than harm or vice versa? This is true of cloning as well. Cloning is by no means the first technology that has been widely debated. It is, however, among the first to be so controversial before it is even possible to achieve.

While, cloning is taking the same DNA and replicating it to make an identical copy of that same DNA. Although many people may think genetic enhancement and cloning is a dangerous idea and corrodes the prevailing moral order because it goes against religious beliefs, the advancements may go too far, and there are risk factors. Genetic enhancement and cloning is a good impact on society because it helps food supply, cures inherited diseases, solves infertility, and there is a potential to live longer. Imagine a world without diseases, infertility, and bad genes, that is what genetic enhancement

“Parents who have lost children have grieved and sought consultation from family community. Replacing the deceased child by cloning degrades and dehumanizes the child, it’s a replacement, and all of us.” Cloning someone does not necessarily mean it will be the same human being. All it means is that you will clone someone that look like your loved one. Cloning your loved one will just bring back memories from the past.

“That was the last, Odysseus told Penelope, just as sleep overcame him…sleep losing his limbs, slipping the toils of anguish from his mind,(Homer, 466)” The jubilant day suddenly felt somber to the still awake maid, Eurycleia; a draft abruptly traveled through her room, blowing out her once glowing candle. Fear of an evil spirit engrossed her, so she enveloped herself in the woolen blanket, and attempted pleasant sleep once more. Her candle suddenly went aglow again though. A man with a wry smile and antipathy in his eyes lingered before her: “I am Poseidon,” he whispered.

Creating clones for the sole purpose of infecting them with diseases so that medicine can advance quicker is a common theoretical use for human clones, along with creating them for organ or limb transplants (Aurelia, 2011). With the purpose of creating a clone to be to serve another person, this takes away consent of

Many believe cloning is a perversion of science, and some are even concerned with a real life Frankenstein situation: “Reproductive cloning… could lead to a Dr. Frankenstein’s vision of lab manufactured humans. To me this is a perversion of science” (Ford 1). Furthermore, in Frankenstein, Dr. Frankenstein detached from the world as he became obsessed with his studies, diminishing his health. A similar thing could happen to scientists who clone if they decide that they are “playing god,” which can be dangerous for the scientists and the clones. Cloning is so controversial and causes an overbearing amount of stress for it to be befitting to the human mind, as Victor Frankenstein puts it, “If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections, and to destroy… those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful… not befitting of the human minds” (Shelley 50).

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.

I believe human cloning interferes with nature in ways humanity will not be able to handle. This source states, " This could lead to a set of problems that we have no ability to handle. " The evidence suggests that human cloning can lead to the fall of humanity, due to clones becoming soverienty. However, some people believe that human cloning can be useful, due to assisting with unlawful interests. I beleive that this will only create misuse of knowledge in trying to correct clones in right paths.

Furthermore the church opposes the stem cell therapy. Human comes to an existence at from how the mother carries the embryo, days passed it develops and undergo several stages. Prenatal was a developing human being. From the mother’s womb at a point advance in development embryonic stem cells were kept. An act of direct and willingness to spare a prenatal was always a serious sin or immoral act against God by virtue of it’s a gift from heaven.

Introduction Cloning is the processes that are used in order to generate exact genetic makeup of a cell, tissue, or organism. The term clone refers to the copied material with the same genetic makeup of the original. According to the definition by National Genome Research Institute (NIH) cloning can be differentiated into three types, those are: 1. Gene cloning, which creates copies of genes or segments of DNA. 2.

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).

Do you know that based on the scientific studies, 90% human cloning tuned out to be unsuccessful. 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. However Human cloning is dangerous for the new engineered baby and their moms, so it should be banned to prevent new disease, to constantly limit the population of dying human beings, and to stop unnecessary fees to modify babies.

Just like Dolly and other cloned animals, the chance of success is low; therefore, many lives will need to be sacrificed. Also, cloned animals cannot live for a long time. There are no single cloned animals that have lived to be fully grown. This indicates that the cloned human cannot live a full life span as we

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.
