Question

Can anybody imagine the disadvantages of Cloning? Is it possible a Chopacabras , Lochnesmonter, Big Foots result of cloning?Will mad scientists destroy "OUR" Earth?What happen when Penjium Altima going to take shape?When Mammoths will be in our cities,Sabertooth goes on the Subways,What would happen when T-Rex will knocking to ur door?Will all these things scarry or something like Daredevil .What happen when Area 51 announced offically about the attack of alions on US? NO, then lets go to Krustycrab to have a krabypatty. Is it fine?

Answer 1

well the world would be extremely over populated for one

Answer 2

You eat cloned food now, and don't even know it. Look what it has done to you.

Answer 3

well, one of the main problems with cloning is that it's a relatively new aspect of science that we din't know anything about. what seems fine and perfectly safe now could have serious consequences further down the line.

for example, the process of cloning could cause a mutation in some of the cells that could create a new disease or disorder which could prove harmful to 'normal', non cloned species. we wouldn't know about this now because it could take years and years to come up (long term effects).

cloning also shares a problem with asexual reproduction. asexual reproduction is when there's only one parent, so obviously like in cloning there's only one parent. therefore, if a disease arises in the population and this one organism doesn't have the correct genes or DNA to fight it, neither will its offspring and all the community will get sick or die.

another example of this would be with mutations in DNA/ chromosomes. if a cell contains a mutation that hinders the way of life (eg, if the only food available is very high up and an animal is very, very small, it would starve to death), the organsism would die out from starvation, disease or just loose out from competition.

hope this helps.

Answer 4

In June 1998, president Clinton publicly condemned human cloning. He opined that ¡¥any discovery that touches upon human creation is not simply a matter of scientific inquiry. It is a matter of morality and spirituality as well. Each human life is unique, born of a miracle that reaches beyond laboratory science.¡¦ When did president Clinton condemn human cloning so resolutely? What are the reasons lurking behind actually? Let us start discussing the reasons of opposing cloning deeply.

The uncertainty of science technology

Science and technology cannot solve everything. What if we allow to human cloning? Have we ever thought of the results of that? Will the results be controllable? Even scientists cannot promise they can. Obviously, there are some potential crises lurking behind. Of course, these kinds of uncertainty are not reasonable to stop all the developments of science and technology. But we believer that we should ban such extreme cases (such as human cloning) as long as they have potential in damaging humans¡¦ future.

Furthermore, in cloning Dolly, it resulted in the death of many embryos and newborns before success achieved. (The Dolly experiment started with 277 fused eggs, of which only 29 became embryos. All the embryos were transferred to 13 sheep. 1 became pregnant with Dolly.) In addition, even if the human clone survived, it is not guaranteed that it would develop normally. The genetic material in cloning Dolly came from a 6 year old mammal (what is an old stage of sheep). Dolly¡¦s chromosomes could be found in older animals only. This finding made scientists start wondering whether Dolly, looking totally normal from its appearance, might have inherited genetic damage that would be shown in older age only or some other abnormalism.

Losing the diversity of genes

Human can live on the Earth relies on the diversity of genes. And the diversity of genes comes from parents having different sets of genes. The most horrendous part of identical genes is that it will weaken our power and adaptations, which make us subjected to great diseases easily. In addition, human cloning is just copying the identical genes, which means it will decrease the diversity of genes.

Furthermore, the beauty of humanity lies in the differences we see in each other. Cloning would eliminate surprise and predict expectancy.

The great diseases and leading to extinction

As mentioned above, in human cloning, all human beings will be identical. Which means that entire human is at a risk of getting infected by the same type of pathogen. In scientific point of view, if every one has the same type of genes and they are closed to each other they may not defend against the same kind of serious disease. Then cloning will be detrimental in terms of a great disaster.

Another negative effect of cloning is inbreeding, as everyone has the same genotype and keep reproducing among themselves. This would lead us to our own extinction finally.

Richard Nicholson of the British Bulletin of Medical Ethics said that cloning research may well be ¡§sowing the seeds of our own destruction.¡¨

Cloning is ¡§playing God¡¨

The clergymen opined human cloning is playing the role of god. Bishop of Catholic Albert Moraczewski mentioned that the power that God gives humans is over the fish, the birds, and all animals, domestic and wild, large and small. (Genesis, chapter1, verse 26). Adam and Eve have all the power, except they cannot eat the fruit of the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad. If they do so, they will die. So, Albert Moraczewski believes that human cloning is out of the God¡¦s permission. There is no evidence that proves humans have the right to change God¡¦s will.

Transgressing the nature

Human cloning transgresses nature, because it is not via the natural reproductive process, which is by a man and a woman. Human cloning is creating life.

Inhumane

A clone makes no differences as us. A clone must ear, drink and carry out any other metabolic processes in order to survive. The clone may even be better than his original host. It would be inhumane to treat them as ¡¥special species¡¦. If human is cloned, this will turn us to be a property which can be sold to anybody else. In other words, selling humans is unethical, inhumane and immoral.  

Devastate parenting and family life

The basic concept of a family is a couple falls in love and determines to care each other. Then the couple may decide to have children which they will love them dearly. But parents of clones might value their children according to how much they look like to themselves. Cloning, at a result, undermine the basic elements of loving, nurturing family and to accept each child as an unique individual.

Cause unbalance to the society

Cloning may arouses social side effects. It is ridiculous that reproduction is separated from love and other human relationship. The entire world may use cloning for eugenics that would lead to efforts to selectively breed children who are of more intelligent, heavier and extraordinary.

Persons that oppose cloning

~ In 1997- Feb, Carl Felbaum, president of the Biotechnology Industry Organization said: ¡¥One of the prospects should not be, perhaps should never be, the extension of this technique to human beings. Now that it may be possible we would say its should be prohibited if necessary by law.¡¨

~ Stephen Grebe, an associate professor of biology at American University in Washington said: ¡§we are going to be facing this issue with humans. With that possibility open, I am concerned without adequate safeguards that this will become a reality. It may very well already be.¡¨

~ Jesse Rainbow, a university sophomore, lists reasons why some people have a knee-jerk aversion to embryo cloning. A clone would not be a ¡§real person¡¨. But a clone would have exactly the same status that an identical twin already does. Both are derived from a single fertilized ovum.

There are at this time three major ethical concerns with cloning. Two of them will probably go away in time.

First, the process is still largely experimental. We don't know what the long-term effects of cloning a creature or an organ will be. Some have theorized that because of the way cloning is performed, produced tissues may be prematurely aged. It also bears mention that usually only a fraction of a percent of implanted clones are ever born and the rest are miscarried. Even the ones that are carried to term seem to manifest unusual pregnancies. In all, it's a risky procedure with questionable outcomes right now. But of course we're not likely to learn more unless we keep trying to some extent.

Second, as far as human and animal clones are concerned, there is a concern that the clone will be viewed by society as being identical to the original. Which, due to environmental factors (and the nature of cloning right now!) is certainly not the case. In many senses a clone is even less like the original than one identical twin is to another. A clone of Einstein might not even be interested in physics, and there's concern that he might be pressured and outed by a society that expects him to be. Not to mention the whole issue of parents cloning a 'replacement' child or pet when one dies. But again, most of these concerns spring, if anything, from a societal ignorance of the nature of clones, and is likely to go away when more clones are around for people to have experience with.

The last concern is in many ways the most nebulous. What, exactly, is life and death? Most cloned tissues used for medical research these days are obtained by removing cells from an embryo and sucking out its DNA. This essentially means the much of what made the embryo distinct no longer exists, even though all the cells (hopefully) remain alive. Arguably, this is a better fate than probably awaited the vast majority of such embryos, which are usually the result of abortions and are destroyed completely afterward. Is it moral to do this to an embryo? Does the fact that it would have died change things? These are questions that sharply divide people, and unlike the others are not likely to be resolved any time soon. If ever.
