Individuality Vs The Perfect World :: essays research papers

     Imagine the world as only beautiful people. Everywhere you look is a Cindy Crawford look-a-like 59", brown hair, brown eyes, and the faultless smile. A "Master Race." Do we really want to reenact Adolf Hitlers plan of seeking world domination killing million upon millions as a " last-place solution?" Instead of killing, wed be reproducing millions, going against nature. Say we went and got one of Princess Dianas cells and implanted that in an egg that was then placed into a surrogate mother. Nine months later, we would restrain a baby Princess Diana. Only trouble is, this baby would only resemble Princess Diana in looks, not personality, character, or individuality. Her whole life wouldnt be what it had been she wouldnt be "her." What if your newborn infant son died? Just think you could have a second chance. Is this morally or ethnically right? Cloning of humans should be forbidden, but copy of human body parts for medicinal purposes should be allowed.     Cloning hasnt been a big issue or ever thought to have actually been do to work until 1997 with the successful birth of a lamb named Dolly. Out of 277 eggs implanted in different sheep mothers, Dolly was the only lamb successfully born. The system used to clone Dolly was scientists at the Roslin Institute in Scotland took a cell out of the mammary gland. They then used an electrical pulse to twaddle an adult cell into merging with a host egg whose nucleus had been removed . This method being very unsuccessful brought on a new one where scientists used mice, injecting just the adult nucleus into a nucleus free host instead of using an electrical pulse. They also had let it rig for two hours before stimulating it to start dividing. The success rate was 2-3 in 100. Now knowing that we could clone sheep and mice, scientists were up to the possibility and challenge of cloning humans. As soon as it became public knowledge that cloni ng was really happening and becoming more successful, the USA imposed a ban on federal funding for human-cloning research. Several states have established restrictions, some even banning cloning completely.          Cloning is not morally or ethnically right. Morally, scientists would be victorious the role of God. If a clone dies, where would they go? In religious beliefs, clones would have no souls because God didnt create them. Cloning would alter the definition of ourselves.
