Argumentative Essay On Human Cloning

Human cloning is an artificial reproduction process in which the offspring is created identically to its original down to their genetic level. This is accomplished by destroying a fertilized egg’s genetic component and inserting it with the replicated DNA sequence which the egg may accept and multiply. Once accepted, the fertilized egg will multiply to an embryo. During the early stage of development, an embryo is mostly made of stem cells. Stem cells attract scientist due to the fact that a stem cell can be grown into most organs and parts of the human body. The primary goal for human cloning is to use these stem cells to grow organs and chemicals in a lab to aid the original person’s life in medical condition. In defense of the Catholic Church

Shoukhrat Mitalipov, American biologist who heads the Center for Embryonic Cell and Gene Therapy says human cloning has been used for the first time to "produce one embryonic stem cell line using just two human eggs, which would make this approach practical for widespread therapeutic use". In fact, when doctors added caffeine to the cell cultures, their outputs were transformed into something they see as extremely beneficial to everyone. Secular society argues that cloning is beneficial to those who need transplants, diabetes, heart attacks, and Parkinson 's disease. As people age, their organs are at high risk of failing, so they need replacement. If humans were cloned, their organs could then be used to replace those of sick people. In fact, it is currently the case that there are not enough organ donors around to fulfill this need, therefore cloning humans would overcome that issue as there would then be a ready supply. The first experiment of cloning ever done was on Dolly the Sheep in 1997. This was a much discussed story because Dolly the sheep was cloned and past away not so long after. Therefore, because of this people say it is unsafe. However secular society sees the positive sides more significant than they do the negative sides. Secular society also argues that human cloning is a technology that will help infertile couples get children. Many couples all around the world are not able to have children, usually due to health issues. Reproductive cloning can help lesbians to have children without the use of donor sperm. And it would allow gay men to have children without the use of donor eggs and a surrogate. However, a surrogate would have to carry the
