Human Cloning?

Question

ive been given a 1500 words research project and i need to write the research paper.ichose human cloning drawbacks......can any one tell me about any single specific point about human cloning that i can work upon. and please include links too.

Answer 1

bad for society because religion and stuff would come in

could cause disease

could be used for war (clone strong soldier billion times)

Answer 2

Firstly, this is a very risky, yet rewarding topic that you have chosen, if you can pull it off well, then I congratulate you, but i will start you off with the basics. So , here. When cloning start with the basics. History, Origins, description, how it works, some cloned attempts, then get into the finer elements of drawbacks. Go to the negative effects of cloning how two people is more than enough how that would be ocnfusing, how it would need more food, water, etc. just to feed, cloth, etc. the clones.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

The first thing that your paper should start off with is: The government says no human cloning has occurred. Thus, without empirical evidence to support our hypotheses, we cannot know anything at all about the true nature of human cloning, nor the pro's or con's.

As such, anything that you hear or read about human cloning is just speculation, at best.

Having said that, as was already mentioned by some of the posters, in all likelihood, if the true nature of a human clone was made public, it would likely destroy old well established money making, society controlling, institutions such as organized religion. It would go far beyond that, it would change the very nature of what we believe makes us human. It would force humanity to rethink the whole foundation of societies and governments. Human cloning would change everything.  It would open the door to significant human life extension and solve the problems of deep space exploration and colonizing other worlds.  It would allow for the raising of the dead and complete reordering of family and social structure---nothing would be the same.  It would force humanity to stop living in the past and to let go of old ideas and traditions and think in terms of the here and now, and about the future.

The biological problems in current cloning techniques are solvable, making cloning a safe and efficient means of reproduction. In addition, there may be ways to modify the cloning process that will result in offspring with the same genetic diversity as created by more routine means of reproduction, accomplishing this without the use of vital s*x cells, gamates.

Thus, until we actually achieve successful human cloning, we cannot say with any degree of certainty just what the pro's and drawbacks to reproductive cloning might be.

Answer 4

i had the same projects

you can go on bioethics.com and search for human cloning

i got a picture of procedure of human cloning and i am sending the ling so i am going to explain it while you look at picture

here is the link

http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=...

we need a skin cell to start with after that we need a human egg in which nuclus would be removed and we need to remove cytoplasm from the skin cell which we took before

we need to fuse cells (nucleus and egg's cytoplasm) by electricty. after that we will have an embrue and it will reproduce in a women.

main point is that no human has been cloned yet because it cost lot of money but the procedure is so complicated then it looks.

this procedure is used for dolly sheep.

we cant guarnti that the clone will live long are usual life as other humans do

please read it carfuly i hope it will help you to creat your representation. i got hundred% for this presentation in my class.

Answer 5

How would cloning cause disease man? Are you in the right mind? And yeah, religion would come in because if you clone a human being it would prove that we don't have a soul, therefore disproving religion. But I don't think that would be a drawback, it's time we let go of religion as fact. You can try writing about how human cloning would revolutionize  our take on religion- how they have been wrong before like not admitting the earth was round until like the 1950s.You can maybe write about cloning in general not human or drawbacks, how about solving the worlds hunger problem? If we for example choose ONE cow, Bessy let's say, you can have a whole Bessy cow production that we can send to all those starving children in Africa but no they don't want to do that.  Or how about stem cell research, the religious people also have a problem with that, why? Aborted fetuses. They can save lives and limbs. People will always have s*x right? There will always be accidents right?(accidents meaning pregnancy as well as car accidents and other human body mangling situations) and the cheapest way to fix it would be to use stem cells, which are like blanks; they will take the form of whatever other cells are around them and therefore will regrow whatever it may be whether it is skin or a piece of someones lung. The animal world (or nature) sees nothing wrong with recycling remember lion king? The lion eats the antelope, the lion dies on the grass..the antelope eats the grass; Circle of life. But why do they refuse? They are against s*x and  abortions and not making money. Medicine and medical practices would be so much cheaper. Imagine a world with one less thing to worry about; medical bills. but since we are a consumer based mostly christian tight a**ed country, we will stick with the highly expensive means just because we see something wrong with recycling what in other situations can save lives. Think about it, we have so much money to fund this and in the end we would be so much better off. (here might be like half your paper lol). Instead of writing about possible drawbacks of new technologies try looking at the positive side. Germany is trying it already I think, we'd do it better and faster...The research I mean. We are already not the worlds favorite country for more resons than one- we produce like a 3rd of the worlds carbon emissions and don't want to stop (our government that is)Maybe you can mention all of this in your paper and call it "Things America as a country can do to make other countries stop hating us" in fewer words of course. Good luck!
