Ryan Johansen Dr. T. James ENC 1101 M, W, F 10: 00 Cloning Did we go to far The idea of cloning in the eighties required multiple reproduction of specialized cells. Even then, the possibility of cloning was impossible.
Recently, scientists cloned a lamb, simply by replicating the cell in the skin tissue. The success of cloning a lamb gives us endless possibilities of human cloning. One important question is the individualism of the clone. The clone and the individual are identical but are now living two different lives. This is unfair because the clone would now have an identity or a family. This technology is too new therefor can bring about many controversies.
Whether we are Cloning plants, animals, or human, it is morally wrong to play the role of a creator. Not only is cloning immorally wrong, but there are many bad things of having such a technology available. Humanity has always feared chaos and destruction. Cloning can open doors to catastrophe, such as, surplus, safety hazards, and low values. If cloning were legalized, then one possible effect would be over population. Laws of Nature states that each individual has a fate and a cycle.
By cloning, we are intervening with natures cycle, and this can cause chaos and disorder. Like not knowing who is who, stealing, financial problems with credit, and problems even with schooling, like sending my clone to school and doing my work while I sit at home and do what ever I want. Our country is well overpopulated, and cloning of humans can only contribute to this problem. Besides overpopulation, there is also a question of safety. Is it safe to eat cloned food We neglect the possibilities of harm because we are completely overwhelmed by this technology that we forget the hazards of cloning. The safety of th food is important to the health of Americans and of the country.
The Essay on The Effects of New Technology in Human Lives
New technology impacts our daily lives in every field, from the cars we drive, cell phones we use, computers and networks we access and power we consume! In fact humans have always been greatly affected with the developments in new technology. However, nowadays new information technology is a bit more complex with cloud computing, new methods of security and data encryption! It’s a universal ...
The most important danger to cloning is counterfeiting of certain value collateral. If the replica of gold, silver, or diamond were possible, then the value of a dollar would be worthless. When the value of a dollar decreases, market value decreases as well, thus resulting in a market crash. A repeat of 1927 Stock Market crash will give rise to chaos in the economy.
Although the idea of cloning is immoral and possibly harmful, there are benefits to this new technology. The first idea is species diversity. Environmentalist and Green Peace talk of extinction with in a group of species. With the help of cloning, we can increase species population and fill the earth with beautiful creatures once more. Another great aspect of cloning is replicating better growing, healthier, and good tasting food.
Each year, farms throw away millions of tons of fruits due to pesticides, acid rain, droughts, and insects. Now, scientist can clone better growing food so we can maximize productivity in our land and resources. This also raises the idea of cloning healthier food. This idea can help people eat healthier, and result in the longevity of ones life. Cloning can also contribute greatly in the field of medicines well.
With this new technology, we can clone medicine, or antibody cells in a persons body to help fight bacteria and viruses. Doctors can clone herbs and plants to make better medicine for sick patients. Benefits are endless, and cloning can make it all happen. Years ago, people laughed at the idea of cloning and replicating things. Now those ideas have become a reality, and issues are raised of the new technology to be legalized. Though technology has given us the ability to create human adults, it is not our job to play the creator of species, that is not a natural act and toy with human lives.
Another aspect of morality and harm is the issue of safety. Is cloning safe for the people and the country From fear of over population to safety of a clone, it is unlikely that cloning will be permitted. Scientists, however, see a more prominent future for this new technology. They argue that cloning can bring benefits to humankind and for the future.
The Essay on Cloning Technologies and More
Science, in the past few years has made great strides in the field of mammal reproduction. They?ve worked for years to find out exactly what happens during a pregnancy, and also how it works. We?ve come so far in these stages as to gain the knowledge needed to make oral contraceptives. However, I am not writing this report to enlighten you on these subjects, or to debate the ethical issues of ...
Such benefits like increase in species diversity, healthier food, and better medicine are only a few wonders of this new technology. It might be contradictory but I fell that we do not really need this new technology. We have survived for two centuries without this technology, so why add more problems to our lives It is true that cloning can benefit us, but he harms outweighs the benefits. I feel that technology has surpassed all human values, and think that sometimes we need it to stop and think, Did we go too far.
