The Pros And Cons Of Human Cloning
Scientist, Victor Frankenstein, the modern day Prometheus of his time, is known for altering God’s way of creation. Thus, comparable to human cloning today. Human cloning today is known as a hereditary interchangeable copy of a human. This type of cloning has been around for many years and is used for many different processes. The concept of human cloning has many advantages in today’s modern society, but this type of genetic reproduction also encompasses several disadvantages.
Human cloning has placed many types of impressions on mankind. The majority of which are advantageous. To begin, one pro of human cloning is that cloning can help sterile couples bare a child. Thus, “... infertile couples can experience happiness of having their own families without enduring painful procedures to treat infertility that are common today,” (“16 Important Pros and Cons of Cloning Humans” par. 8). In the same sense, “this may sometimes be their only hope of achieving this, of exercising their right to biological parenthood,” (Ezra par. 24). With this being said, parents who were once unable to have their own children now can bring forth a baby of their own. Moreover, in undertaking this study, scientists have the ability to eradicate degenerative genes. By doing so, it “may eliminate the genetic diseases that defective genes may cause,” (Lombardo par. 3). As a …show more content…
Also, much like Frankenstein, human cloning is an act of “playing God.” Frankenstein says, “[He] had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body” (Shelley). By saying that he, “... [infused] life into an inanimate body,” readers infer that Frankenstein took creation into his own hands to create a being hence, “playing God” (Shelley). Similarly, human cloning is the same way; scientists take life and juggle it around to create something or recreate something in another way which is known as “playing
