Persuasive Final Outline

AG: Have you ever wished you had a twin? A twin to share secrets with, to understand you, and to help you during the difficult moments in your life.

TRS: Today I will be talking to you about human cloning and to persuade you to see the other side of human cloning, the good and or ethical side.

Pr: First I will be talking about what is human cloning and what “ethical” means, then the medical benefits, and lastly the scientific research and possibilities.

Transition: First, the meaning of human cloning and “ethical”.

Body:

(Main point 1): There is many types of cloning and different sides of “ethical.”

(Sub Point 1) One of the types of cloning is human cloning which is a living

(support: Example) The ability to clone humans doesn’t mean we have to clone a whole human, but we can clone parts of the human body.

(support: Example) An similar way of doing this is like Caymian Islands group with their interesting topic of the 3D printer.

(Support: Testimony) “ Embryonic stem cells can be grown to produce organs or tissues to repair or replace damaged ones. Skin for burn victims, brain cells for the brain damaged, spinal cord cells for quadriplegics and paraplegics, hearts, lungs, livers, and kidneys could be produced.” Simon Smith, a volunteer CEO for the Human Cloning Foundation, says in “The Benefits of Human Cloning” article.

(Sub Point 2) Using human cloning can help find cures and remove the defective genes.

(support: Testimony): “He argues that stem cells, which are derived from six day old cloned human embryos and can form any cell type in the body, could be of enormous benefit for medical research. They could also, in the long term, be used for treating disease—so called therapeutic cloning.” says Debashis Singh, government publishing, in "Cloning/Embryonic Stem

(support:)”This technique is called reproductive cloning or somatic nuclear transfer, which was how Dolly was cloned. Cloning technology offers infertile couples the promise of greatly improving the odds of having a baby.” says JP Lovell, author published on Human Cloning Foundation, in "Human Cloning Is the Cure for Infertility."

(support:) “He would implant some of a woman's embryos in her uterus immediately and freeze any extra ones for future attempts at pregnancy. The woman might end up with identical twins, triplets, or even quadruplets, possibly born years apart. But given the difficulty of obtaining and fertilizing eggs in the laboratory, the alternative might be no babies at all.” says Gina Kolata, author for the The New York Times, in "For Some Infertility Experts, Human Cloning Is a Dream."

Conclusion:

Finally, I told you several reasons why human cloning is good or “ethical” and its possibilities. I told you about the what human cloning and “ethical” means, the medical benefits, and the scientific research and possibilities. The real question isn’t “Is human cloning wrong or “unethical” but what would it open the door to in the future that is never
