1、克隆的伦理道德英语作文Cloning is a revolutionary procedure that possesses the potential to impact humanity in various ways.However,when this idea was introduced and applied,the question became not whether cloning would have an impact in the world,but rather if the process of cloning would have a positive or ne
2、gative impact. Before stating an opinion on the presented topic,it becomes necessary to provide some background on how cloning is applied.Currently,there seems to be two applications of the cloning process:reproductive and therapeutic.In the reproductive method of cloning,a cloned embryo is implante
3、d in the womb of a female with the intention of creating cloned offspring.An example of this method can be found in the cloning of Dollya lamb that was cloned by a group of embryologists led by Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell.The strategy used by this group was to replace the nucleus of an unfertilize
4、d egg with a “reconstructed” zygote from one animal and the egg cytoplasm from another animal.The process of collecting eggs,removingnuclei,and transplanting the donor cells for the clone proved to be an effective process that raised the question if humans could also be cloned. The “therapeutic” met
5、hod of cloning is much like the reproductive procedure used; however,instead of producing a cloned embryo to place in a womb,the point of this procedure is to generate stem cellsas opposed to brining an egg to full term.The purpose of this strategy is to allow creation of tissues or organs that the
6、clonal donor can use without having those tissues or organs rejected by his or her bodys immune system. As expected,there are various pros and cons to the process of cloning.The most common case made for cloning is the argument that the research could lead to the development of prescription drugs an

10、which deters individuals on a fundamental moral basis. After reviewing the info,I have a split opinion on the topic of cloning.I have decided that I am against reproductive cloning,but do support therapeutic cloning and stem cell research.No matter how optimistic I try to be with the topic of reprod
11、uctive cloning,I find it cruel and unjust to clone a human being with the intent not to let it develop freely as any human would,but to treat it more as a living object to extract data.I also fear that if the cloning of humans becomes a huge success it could eventually have an impact on human reproduction.Stem cell research and therapeutic cloning provides great opportunities to help patients and has the potential to provide great amounts of new information while keeping it at a cellular level (without developing the embryo into a full human being).
