Cloning Humans


The non political science hot topic going on now is cloning humans. I think we should not clone human beings. There are advantages ad disadvantages, the advantages include: the creation of identical humans to prove organs for transplants. On the negative side, we may lose important aspects that apply to us as humans. For example: we may compromise our individualities and lose genetic variation. If we clone humans, people will not want to give birth; instead they will want organs to be donated so that they may clone themselves. As a result, a black market for fetuses will be created and that will be abusing human dignity (everyone deserves respect no matter who they are). Human dignity is lost because humans lose the right of uniqueness because after a while of cloning them, we will all be living for the same purpose and will die at the same age. We should not look at clones like strange creatures, we should respect them because they provide us with organs that save our lives when we no longer have hope that we can live any longer. They also cure many various diseases including Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, heart attack. They do so because doctors can replace tissues and organs damaged by disease or injury to restore our health. We need to be fair and generous to them because we benefit from them in many different ways. Studies show that most the American population is unhappy, ant not willing to clone humans. They feel uncomfortable being surrounded by clones. These people thought about it and decided to come to a conclusion that if we clone humans, we should also clone fruits and other foods we eat.  That suggestion was not taken well because no one wants to eat cloned food or fruits; therefore no one wants to live with cloned people.
