Cloning and Morality.

Human cloning seems to me to be a necessary evil. Without the first physiologists grabbing street-walkers and cutting them up while alive our understanding of the human body would not be where it is at today and thus many people would be suffering of illness and such.

It is hard to say cloning is absolutely moral now but think about what they will say in the future. They won’t condemn us but most likely thank us for doing the dirty work. I think we need to take the next step or at least provide funding to begin the processes. To make progress illegal… well thats just silly.

Here is a list of cloning benefits.

I mean c’mon we chopped people up to cure the ailments of today but shouldn’t we move toward perfection? What is our government so afraid of?

I realize it is going to take a lot of setting up and their are a lot of issues to be worked out but thats all the more reason to get started now.

A tissue sample can be taken out of an organ fragment, cloned, and then made into a new whole organ – grown externally.

Then, it can be re-inserted, instead of being stolen from another human body.

This technology now exists, and has newly emerged. It’s not a standard, but it should be.

To clone is to take a book, and make a copy of that book.
The book is no-longer one-of-a-kind, but that book will not be gone forever tomarrow.

Cloning is of a higher virtue then non-cloning, as it is the preservation of the human body, through copies.

Cloning can be interpreted as an affront to religions.

That’s the problem.

Many people are still suffering illness and such, regardless of what was done in the past by some anatomists. Many people will continue to suffer illness and such whether or not we devlop cloning. Many will still be malnourished, many will die of infectious dieseases, many will die for the lack of cheap basic care.

What they may say in the future is a guess on your part. They may condem us, they may not, but to insist that we start cloning just because its progress is ridiculous.

Cloning is not total perfection, it will not solve all of our medical problems.

Not if many people are deeply concerned about the possible outcomes and usages of cloning.

Your right but we could help a whole lot of people with a lot of problems… it will not perfect the human but it will improve him. Whether we get to perfection or not we have to strive for it.

To insist that we don’t clone even though we KNOW its progress is ridiulous.

I know it is not a final solution but it is a step in the right direction. Opening cloning is opening a can of worms and it may seem like we are not ready for it now but when will we be ready? All I’m saying is it’s going to happen anyway… so why wait. Do you want your grandchild to die of cancer just because some old guys in charge were afraid of losing an election?

just because we KNOW its progess doesn’t mean that we should do it. There are major potentials for abuse and danger in cloning.

I don’t want my granchildren to die of cancer, but I’m not sure I want them to exposed to some of the issues that cloning raises.

We could help some people with some problems. The vast majority of the world’s health problems would continue unabated with the advent of cloning. Instead of sinking huge money into cloning let’s take a fraction of that money and put it into basic healthcare, social infrastructure development, and food programs. Let’s get everybody up to a minimum standard before we catapalt the richest few up to a higher one.
