#11 - Global issues - Human cloning


Human cloning


Human cloning has been a big as a global issue. Writer of this article says, "Let me make it absolutely clear that I am opposed to human cloning on ethical grounds. It is open to gross abuse." I totally agree. we cannot allow the human cloning for only one reason that we need it for the dead influential people or the sickness. Because there are more dangerous way to be abused than the useful way. First, there is non ethical emotional risks like "What happens to a marriage when the "father" sees his wife's clone grow up into the exact replica (by appearance) of the beautiful 18 year old he fell in love with 35 years ago?" Human cloning will change whole global ethnic to the fallen, wrong way. And the cloned teens surely will have pressure that others see them as their memorial dead person, not themselves. Also, there could be the abuse of course, if we allow the human cloning. He asks us, "What would Hitler have done with cloning technology if available in the 1940s? " It tells us that there will be no more world peace, because like what he says, some powerful people can abuse this technology to make more power. Also it says that there's the risk to do the human cloning, he reports that there are many cloned cows have died with the unnormalty of their blood cells. Another problem is that cloned human might be not treated as human, but robot or slave. So I think we should not agree for the human cloning.
