Cloning technology
In recent years, there has been a tremendous progress in cloning
technology, but it is also becoming a controversial issue. Since the first
world's cloned person appeared, the cloning technology has even become the
leading target of many big countries' scientific research in several future
years. Why cloing technology is so debatable is that it presents many political
and ethical challenges, which involve in all aspects of latter-day human life.
In scientific reseachers and phrmacists' view, cloning technology boosts
the quality of medical treatements. For example, it is costly and
time-consuming for a surgeon to obtain organs for organ transplants. However,
by cloning some other kinds of animals who has organs to similar to humans',
and doing through researches in them, the shortfall of human organs for making
transplants can be complemented. Furthermore, by using the cloned embryos to
harvest stem cells, doctors can investigate in therapeutics for a wide rage of
diseases, including diabetics, strokes, or even cancers. That would usher in a
new age of medical science and all humans' life. At any rate, the researches of
cloning technology can bring many secrets of human body and medical science to
light.
The prospects of cloning technology is brightening. However, everything
has its reverse side, and cloning technology is no exception. The demerits of
cloning technology is also numerous and dangerous to people. For instance,
ethic learners say that every human embryo need to be conidered an individual
human life. To clone animals or embryos to harvest stem cells is a disrespect
for the sanctity of life. If cloning technology of animals is widely permitted
for remedies and pharmaceutical uses, a higher controversy about profound
ethical and moral problems will be raised. What's worse, if the cloning of
humans is permitted, the traditional customs and ethical relations by ties of
blood will collapse; because we don't know how to perceive a cloned person,
don't know whether he a child of the original cell owner's parent is proper or
not.
In conclusion, the issue of cloning draws much attention of all people
in the world, and people are also in hopes of the prosperous future in the
thriving of cloning technology. It's inevitable that the cloning technology
will be widely utilized in the future, which is difficult to handle for
governments, legislators, and specialists. If they are all determined to cope
with it, and can understand it in full perspective, there will be nice
prospects of our life.
