Cloning
…
Should we continue developing cloning technology? …
1. Cloning can be used to cure currently
incurable diseases.
2. Scientists believe they can clone cells to
help people in wheelchairs walk again.
3. It could solve fertility problems. Many
couples cannot have a biological child for
certain reasons. They would be able to use
their own genes to create a child.
4. Reproductive cloning could be used to bring
back our departed loved ones.
5. It could be used to clone endangered
species and restore ecological balance.
6. Scientists could clone livestock to end world
hunger.
7. Amazing people like Einstein could be
cloned.
8. Cloning body parts can become a life-saver.
When a crucial body organ such as kidney
or heart fails to perform its normal functions,
it can be replaced with a cloned organ
substitute.
YES
1.
Human cloning is “playing God”. Man should
not duplicate unique individuals just for the
purpose of study or medical advancement.
2. Only a small percentage of cloned embryos
survive.
3. Clones may age very quickly.
4. Cloning confuses family relationships.
5. Dangerous people like Hitler could be
cloned.
6. Because of cloning, dictators and many
other vicious people might never die.
7. When you are dealing with genes, there is
always a risk that mutation could occur. This
could result in deaths and extreme
abnormalities.
8. By bringing in an entirely new group of
people, who we know very little about and
have had no research on, we could be
introducing many new diseases into the
human race that we have no treatments for.
