Comparing Kant's Categorical Imperative And Jesus Golden Rule

The Principle of Essential Humanness and the Critical Ethical Eclecticism that I am using as a moral paradigm also have a proper focus on consequences. Even though motives are important, consequences are equally important. What happens is as important as why it happens. Humans act for reasons, actions have consequences that matter. Human beings matter, what happens to us matters, thus, consequences matter. Kant’s Categorical Imperative and Jesus’ Golden Rule are two theories combined that can best help with consequences. Kant states - Act only on that maxim through which you can at the same time will that if should become a universal law. Kant is saying that when one is anticipating an action and asking whether such an act would be moral or
This is a moral issue because it has to do with humanness, and if human cloning has to do with the creation of humans, then it definitely has to be assessed to figure out whether it is moral or not. What is human cloning? Human cloning is a process that begins at the cellular level with the goal to create an identical genetic copy of a human being. There are two specific kinds of human reproductive cloning: therapeutic and reproductive, I will specifically look into the reproductive process of human cloning to determine whether or not it is a moral or immoral issue. In the process of reproductive cloning, the DNA of a living organism from an adult cell is harvested along with an egg form a female of a compatible species. In a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) the genetic information in the egg cell is removed and replaced with the DNA of the harvested adult cell. With the surge of an electrical current, the egg is stimulated into cell division. The dividing cell then is placed into the uterus of a surrogate mother, the cell then beings to gestate naturally, resulting in a developing organism. So, no embryos are being destroyed, what is the actual problem? Some ethicists believe that the cloned child not have an open future, another concern has to do with the clone’s right to a unique genetic identity, and lastly is that cloning is playing God. Cloning is not immoral this is why: because the cloned human has the exact same genetic makeup as another does not mean that it will grow to be the identical version of its creator. Biologically yes, but individually no, those two people will not go through the exact same day-today experiences, or be raised by the same parents, there are too many other factors in the world for those two people to be the exact same person inside and out. Identical twins have the exact same genetic make-up, so the idea of the clone’s
