Pro and Contra about Clonning
When Dolly, the first cloned sheep in the news, the more
prominent the cloning controversy. Not only researchers, the general public
became interested in knowing how to do and get involved in the cloning of the
pros and cons. Here are the pros and cons of cloning are not finished being
debated today.
Pro Cloning
Cloning has the potential to bring desired changes in an
individual's genetic makeup. Through cloning, genetic traits can either be
promoted while the negative attributes can be eliminated. Cloning can also be
applied to plants to remove or change the defective genes that make plants more
resistant to disease. Cloning can also be applied to create human organs so as
to be independent from the donor organ. Here we will look at the potential
benefits of cloning.
1. Replacement organs
Cloning of the body serves as a savior. When body organs such as the kidneys or heart is
damaged, it is possible to replace it with the cloned organs.
2. Replace natural
reproduction
Cloning in humans may be a solution to infertility. Cloning
can serve as an option for producing children. With cloning, it is possible to
produce desirable traits in an individual.
3. Help in genetics
research
Cloning technology could potentially help in genetics resource. Genetic elements of
human cloning allows engineered so that makes gene analysis. Cloning also helps
in the fight against genetic diseases.
4. Getting the
special nature of the organism
Cloning allows us to obtain the organisms that are tailored
to the interests of a society.
Cons Cloning
Although cloning is a miracle in the field of genetics,
there remains a potential for harm. Cloning is the process of copying or
replicating the biological nature of the organism.
It certainly could reduce the diversity in nature. In
addition, some people are still skeptical about whether cloning is able to
realize all the potential into reality.
Here are a few points about the disadvantages of cloning.
1. Adverse genetic
diversity
Cloning creates an identical genes. This would make a loss
of diversity in a population. Diminishing diversity will undermine an organism
to adapt.
2. Potential
malpractice
Cloning still has a chance of failure. Failure cloning
organs, resulting in malpractice risk.
3. Affordability
Cloning organs for transplantation would require high
technology and big cost.
4. Seize the power of
God
Cloning will be risking human rights. Is it morally and
ethically cloning be allowed? It will make people capable of creating man. Is
cloning will not devalue humanity? Is cloning will occupy most of the power of
God?
Conclusion
As mentioned above, cloning will provide many benefits to
human life. Conflicts also continue to appear along with the development of
cloning technology. Many parties are strongly opposed to this effort as
contrary to religion and the high risk of human cloning efforts.
In essence, we required
the application of the appropriate application of cloning technology. We need
to consider is the essence for a wider public after cloning technology is
applied. For example, to produce products with good quality livestock, cloning
technology to do a particular cattle, then the application should not be
applied because the clones will not cause major problems in human life and
human benefit. What is clear, cloning technology can’t be applied to humans, because humans
are social beings, which means that if implemented would lead to a variety of
questions. After people clonned,
people are not going to live humanely, but will live with human happiness is
not complete in general, such as happiness living with a parent, healthy life
without disability, socialize normally, and others. Cloning technology in
humans is still a lot of factors to failure. Human life is not for sale, so the
tool test subject, or sacrificed for technological advances that benefit from
its application is still unclear for the future. The continuation of human cloning
should be dismissed, because it clearly is not humane treatment.
One thing we need to remember is one sentence ever uttered
by Albert Einstein, "science without religion is lame and religion without
science is blind. "
