What are the CONS of Human Cloning!!!??

Question

Im doing an informal report on Cloning, and i need cons of human cloning.

Answer 1

Some feel strongly that human cloning is completely wrong. With the state of the science as it is at the moment it would involve hundreds of damaged pregnancies to achieve one single live cloned baby. What is more, all the evidence suggests that clones are unhealthy and often have a number of built-in genetic defects which lead to premature ageing and death. It would be completely wrong to bring a child into the world knowing that it was extremely likely to be affected by problems like these. The dignity of human life and the genetic uniqueness we all have would be attacked if cloning became common place. People might be cloned unwillingly – we all leave thousands if not millions of cells around everyday as we go about our normal lives shedding skin! Who will control who gets cloned? Companies are already making money storing tissue from dead children and partners until the time that human cloning becomes available. How much scope will there be for unscrupulous dealings if human cloning becomes a reality?

Cons Of Human Cloning

Answer 4

There are ethical issues.

First who has the right to clone someone else. What if the person who clones dont give the right or proper sense to it. Even if there is a "good intention", cloning another human could produce genetical deffects, also the human genome will change, the identity of this "person" is different, how do you explain to that clon that was born from a laboratory and not from a human being -pshycological traumas-.

Another problem is birth defects, in some situations the scientist may think he will erase all those genetical deffects, but even so the effects or results could be traumatic why because human eseence is about deffects and virtues, we cant create perfect entities in a laboratory.

Another opposition is in the religious sphere, why would someone do Gods job on giving life to another person? Is this artificial life? Is this new born going to have another soul or the same soul of the original baby?

Economical issue: Lots of thousands of dollars to experiment with humans. Is it right to experiment with a sacred human life? even if there arent mistakes in the protocol of experimentation, there are going to have consequences like happened with dolly the sheep.

Another issue is the social aspect, how people will see this, how are parents going to react to treat this as a normal or abnormal human being?

Answer 5

I think there are a lot of psychological cons of cloning. People will feel they can "bring someone back". It would be difficult to deal with on a psychological level. Would we be able to retain our identities?

There's always the risk of abuse - watch The Island. That's a bit extreme, but you get the idea. Cloned humans are humans, too, but they could be seen as just spare parts or lesser beings.

I'm not into the religion thing, but I'm sure they would say things like they are not created by God and so they're wrong and it's unnatural and whatnot. Religion could be a good issue.

Just some ideas.

Answer 6

The whole idea of human cloning is a con, we are human beings not machines to be made up like robots. When human cloning becomes a norm in our society is when the end of the world really happens. It is already happening with parents having the choice is they have a boy or girl, why not just let nature take its course, it has been doing just fine for the last couple of thousand years!

Answer 7

The biggest one is legality. Not in "is it legal to clone a human", but would they have the same legal rights as a non-clone? What's to stop a person from cloning themselves to carry on a family fortune and avoid taxes and such. Would a clone be treated differently by society than a non-clone? These sorts of issues would need to be resolved before any human cloning took place.

Answer 8

With the procedures currently being used on cloning, the success rate is horrific. If I remember correctly it took about 800 attempts to create the one successful "Dolly" clone. Which means about 799 incorrect attempts resulting in death of the clone.

You would also face some really terrible legal questions.
Does a clone have the right to choose it's own fate? Example:would a clone of Michael Jordan have the right to not play basketball?

Is a clone born free or is it a legal possession of its' donor?

Who should be allowed to clone themselves?
Who should NOT be allowed to clone themselves?
How much interference can be allowed in the genetic makeup of the clone? Example: Would you be allowed to eliminate the genes for your diabetes, weight, male pattern baldness, or to make the clone better than human?
Who would you trust to regulate cloning?

Answer 9

From a non religious standpoint, we must consider that the problem exists with the possibility of identity crisis, as well as the possibility of human mutation since this process is essentially scientific and defy's the natural laws, suggesting that a small mistake could ultimately change a person completely, as well as we must remember that just because one person looks like another they are not the same person. Twins born at the same time have the same looks but are completely different people, which is the basis on true identity. One person will be born as a clone, and yes, it will have emotions and a soul, but not the same one as the original person, since its in essence is not the same person... its not a copy-paste of ideals... just a copy-paste of physical traits.

Hey,
This is a good guide with a step-by-step method to get your hair back http://hairagain.toptips.org

Male hair loss is the most common type of hair loss.It's caused by increased sensitivity to male sex hormones (androgens) in certain parts of the scalp, and is passed on from generation to generation. There are many factors that can attribute to hair recession or massive hair fall. You can try to regain your full head of healthy hair by following natural methods: they are cheaper, they have no side effect and very often more effective than conventional one.

As said above an interesting guide you can follow to get your hair back and prevent future hair loss without dangerous chemicals and drugs, and without expensive supplements or painful hair transplants is available on this site: http://hairagain.toptips.org
