Should Cloning Be Encouraged?
As the newest technology in the 20th century, Cloning has aroused wide concern in all circles of the world since the first clone of the Scottish sheep Dolly. So, on whether it would be a blessing or a curse to clone an entire human being based on the new discovery, there are two typical speculations that are poles apart.
Some people believe that the Cloning, like the nuclear technology that provokes a global panic, will raise the biggest moral and ethical problem and even damage the love-enjoying of a man and woman in normal reproduction. They fear that by a progression of small steps scientists could eventually provide all technologies needed to clone the entire human beings. Thus they call for a worldwide disapproval of the scientists’ risk of tampering with man’s nature. However, others who take the opposite position argue that Cloning – one of the greatest technological advances – is less of a problem ethically. They claim that only through Cloning research can scientists understand the ways human cells change. Then they strongly hope that the Cloning research will continue at higher speed so as to provide organs for sick people some day. And those who worry about a Genie from the bottle, according to them, obviously disregard the benefits man has received from Cloning.
In my opinion, now that it is impossible to reverse knowledge, human beings should take a wiser step to determine and control the direction of the Cloning research. On the one hand, limited Cloning can be encouraged to exploit its potential benefits like providing help for treating fatal diseases by experimenting on cloned animals, saving rare wild animals and so on. On the other hand, in order to prevent the genie from coming out of the bottle, there should be immediate moves to set up, if possible, an international treaty to ban experiments regarding human Cloning worldwide.
