Human Cloning‚ Is it Ethical Human cloning is and has been the subject of moral debate in the United States and around the world‚ and because of this it has raised many ethical questions.

Human cloning involves many social‚ moral‚ and ethical controversies. I would like to state my position: no to human cloning‚ we have made enough mistakes‚ and I am personally not ready for such trials of my humanity. Human cloning is perverse‚ abnormal‚ unhealthy and unnecessary. It is an unjustifiable waste of human and material resources. I’m glad that the scientists have failed because the less attractive the idea may be to those who want to keep attempting such a thing. Human cloning is a controversial

1. Genetic cloning is one way of studying the specific proteins involved in cell division. A gene contains the instructions for how to make a protein. By mutating a gene‚ the protein’s shape‚ size and function could all be affected. Mutating a gene changes its instructions. Once a mutated gene is created and incorporated into a cell’s DNA‚ the cell replicates‚ creating many cells containing the mutant gene. The cells with the changed gene can then be compared to normal cells. For starters‚ you must

As far as the government funding research for cloning efforts I completely agree with the government in not funding any money towards the effort. I believe there are other vital places that government funding needs to be directed to rather than cloning efforts. How about funding
