Stem Cells and Cloning 1. Cloning is one of the most widely talked about topics in this world. The people that defend cloning believe that cloning and genetic engineering will be the answer to most of the diseases in the future. On the other hand‚ the people against it think of it as ‘ playing God ’. Cloning is unethical because people will lose their identities if their clones come into this world. We are taking nature into our own hands by cloning animals or humans. Cloning is the process

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

Ridge) Since then there has been a swarm of controversy over cloning in general. (Caplan) Even as the technology and use of cloning advances‚ major ethical questions are raised. To answer these questions it is important to understand the cloning process and how it actually works. There are actually three different types of cloning‚ DNA Cloning‚ Reproductive Cloning‚ and Embryo Cloning. DNA cloning is just what it sounds like‚ cloning individual strands of DNA so they can be observed for study
