Reproductive Cloning Should Not Be Banned

A. Though there is no specific medical reasoning for these early births there are things that decreases your chances of having a full term pregnancy. 1. For most of us it is common sense not to smoke, drink, or use any drug while pregnant. The toxins in each of these can cause miscarriages, and increases your risk premature labor and a low birth weight for your baby. 2.

Arguments for and against cloning of humans do not make a convincing case since reasons used to back the claims are based on various assumptions and ethical issues. The proponents of cloning argue that the technology can help in solving the problem of infertility; help in cloning dead loved ones, and solving the problem of genetic diseases. Cloning can allow a person to have a genetically copy of oneself with all positive traits. However, such claims have not been proved since no human clone has been produced so far (Melo‐Martín 246). A child inherits genes from the two parents through the natural reproduction process.

But he doubts that's a compelling enough reason to undertake the extensive and costly effort needed to get such a procedure approved, at least for "decades and decades." Marcy Darnovsky, executive director of the Center for Genetics and Society in Berkeley, California, called it unethical to subject that new child to "the psychological and emotional risks of living under the shadow of its genetic predecessor. " Human cloning could also require many women to donate eggs and to serve as surrogates, she said. At the moment, because of safety concerns, federal regulators in the U.S. would not allow making a human baby by cloning, and international scientific groups also oppose it, said biomedical ethics expert Insoo Hyun of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.

Besides the fact that we are all humans, women should also think that the fact of carrying the fetus for nine months is probably a small cost for a whole life with risks, neither with psychological problems nor medical complications. By banning abortion, women are also being prohibited to take “shortcuts” to get rid of the baby and are demonstrating maturity by choosing other options as adoption if they don’t want to raise the child. Moreover, and probably the most important argument, is that you will never know how successful and incredible your future human could be if you never give them the chance and right to

So where is the USA on human cloning? Human cloning is legal in the U.S., but there are some Federal prohibitions against research. The George W. Bush regime was especially difficult, and Barack Obama ended the ban on embryonic stem cell research, while remaining opposed to human cloning. Stanford formed a stem cell institute in 2003 and Harvard initiated efforts to clone human embryos in 2006.

No doubt, nobody will be able to distinguish the cloned child as they have the same biological tie with their parents. Other than that, human cloning cures couple in which one party has serious hereditary diseases. It may be unacceptable to some couples, because a third part’s genes are introduced in the reproduction and there is a risk of transmitting the detrimental condition. For example, a couple who are carriers of genetic disease usually have a one in the four risk of transmitting the disease to the offspring. Therefore, they can choose to clone the embryo rather than having the offspring with that disease.

So, what effects could be done with abortion? A lot can be done with abortion, but abortion does nothing to no one. Abortion is the definition of waste because there can never be anything beneficial towards abortion, and adoption is always an

For centuries there has been rousing controversy on whether cloning is the right step to advance in the science world. As research and experiments thrive with the advancement of technology and science, we are getting closer to the inevitable reality of cloning. Today, the question remains unanswered whether to, “clone or not to clone”. Under the Webster Dictionary the definition of cloning is, “the aggregate of genetically identical cells or organisms asexually produced by or from a single progenitor cell or organism”. When the idea of cloning arises, society tends to ask itself is it right or wrong.

For some married couples, they feel blessed that science and technology had found the way on how to avoid unwanted pregnancies. As it offers effective protection against pregnancies, they can do parenthood planning for the duration of marriage without having children especially young married couple. They may not ready to have children as the responsibility on a human’s life is not easy. They may need time to do preparation on being parents before experience it. On the other hand, most non-married couples are always hoping not to get pregnancies after doing sex.

I understand obtaining permission from the state to sterilize people that could pass their genetics to there children, whatever kind of case that would be, but if no such thing is brought up then I dont believe it is necessary. Especially hearing about the young girls or people of color being sterilized, either because they were seen a certain way or to stop the increase of a certain race in a population. It blows my mind about the numerous things that occurred back then, but to hear that it has occurred more recently in the 21st century is ridiculous. Overall, I totally disagree with sterilization and think it should be

fend for themselves, despite being relatives to one of the most important individuals’ in cell-line history. Now, knowing the full potential of these cells, the question arises of why the Lacks family was not told of the cells by the scientists themselves. Many possibilities arise, but the main one is that the existence of the cells would have gone against the wishes of the family. The sample of the tumor was taken before Henrietta died, but permission to perform tests was only requested after her death. Additionally, the permission was initially not granted by Day, her husband, to perform any additional test on her body.

Many parents will also consider In Vitro Fertilization if their family history is familiar with genetic diseases, such as Tay-Sach’s or Down syndrome. With the help of In Vitro Fertilization, they can ensure that their child will not develop the disorder. This procedure can also be used in other ways. For example, if a couple has a child without In Vitro Fertilization and ends up contracting an illness only certain people will be able to

According to Munson (2014), through genetic screening or testing, birth of infants with debilitating or crippling defects can be avoided. Also through testing, disease and illness could be eradicated because the gene that causes the disease or illness would not be passed on to the next generation. This is consider eugenics. Some in the medical field have a negative feeling towards this, as if to be playing God. There are others in the medical field on the extreme end feel that laws should be developed that couples with known genes that cause genetic disorders must not have children or if they do selection of embryos are done (Munson, 2014).

Embryonic stem cell research is the research of stem cells by removing embryos developed from fertilized eggs to be used for restoring tissue that has been damaged by diabetes, heart attacks, and other major injuries or disease (“NIH Stem Cell Information”). The controversy of this topic makes it difficult to decide whether it is right or wrong and impossible to respect both sides. Arguing for one side, the embryo must be destroyed to potentially save another human being’s life. And for the other, one life is always being sacrificed. Stem cell research destroys potential human life, and scientists should find other forms of research to obtain stem cells without harming anyone (“NIH Stem Cell Information”).

In “The Birthmark,” before Aylmer attempted to remove the birthmark from his wife, she started second guessing him, asking questions like, “Perhaps its removal may cause cureless deformity…” (Hawthorne 2). She was wondering if his solution would make her “flaw” worst, which it did in the end. The problem is, clones do not have this option, even though clone deformities are
