Persuasive Speech On Cloning

Do you have or know someone that has cancer? Have they been cured yet? If not it’s because the progression of cures made by stem cell research has been limited due to public opinion. Stem cells can be used to reproduce organs that are failing or even expel life-threatening diseases. However, in order to due this we need more support for cloning. If we want the human race to survive, we need to completely legalize therapeutic cloning. Cloning could create cures for all manors of diseases such as diabetes or Alzheimer’s (Ballaro, Beverly, & Nancy). Some religious groups view cloning as immoral and a disgrace to human dignity (Driscoll, Sally, & Ann). I ask you, is it not far more immoral to continue allowing people with currently incurable diseases to keep suffering? Is it not our job to save these people- and their families -from their pain?
If there is enough support, some people may try to advance to reproductive cloning which creates a human genetically exact to its DNA donor. Many people that believe that human life begins at conception view this as profoundly wrong (Driscoll, Sally, & Ann). This could potentially add to the already raging fire that is political debate. This would become another topic of dispute among politicians and give voters one more thing to worry about in their choices. In order to avoid this, it is probably best to keep reproductive cloning illegal until further research can be done to find the medical benefits of this
