Human Cloning
After hundreds of failures including several badly deformed creatures in 1997, Ian Wilmut, an embryologist, cloned a sheep name Dolly at Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland (Leone 49). The news of Dolly shocked the world and scientists all over the world begin to debate about if it is right to clone a human. According to Longman Advanced American Dictionary cloning is an exact copy of animal or a human that has the same DNA as the original animal or human, because it was produced from one cell of that animal and human. Human cloning is a controversial issue in our society. Some people think it’s ethical to have human cloning, but some people think it’s unethical. Human cloning is unethical and also human cloning produce babies, who are dysfunctional and have birth defects yet some people think human cloning can stop human genetic disease. According to Lane P. Lester, professor of Genetics at Purdue University states that, “Human cloning is a serious and frightening prospect for the future and therefore should be avoided” (Leone 31).
Human cloning can put next generation into serious problem; if we clone human it is going to effect everybody in the world. When we clone human we take the cells from a human and use that cells to make exact copy of that human, but problem is when we go through scientific process some cells die in the process, which cannot be restore. As a result a baby born with a defected blood, less heart beating and other bodily problems and this kind of babies do not live for a long time and die soon. According to Thomas A. Shannon, professor of Religion and Social ethics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute states that, “Several scientists that clone animal are beginning to manifest problems such as obesity, errors in the expression of the genes and developmental delay” (Leone 19).
Every clone human cannot work like a natural human, because scientists cannot make exact same cop...
