Human Cloning

To understand the ethical problems concerning cloning, we need to ask

the question, Why do people want to clone human beings in the first

place? What are the justifications for cloning a human being?

Moral Precept

Utilitarian ethics justified human cloning on the grounds of its utility or benefit to
humanity, but it also disagreed with its long-term implications. Cloning a human being will
enhance the well-being of a certain person, but anticipating and weighing the risks involved
with its result will lead to a conflict with human cloning.

Moral Argument;

As long as a particular practise promises to improve the human condition, increase the well
being of certain human beings, it is justified. Therefore if

Moral Argument

Utilitarian ethics argues that human cloning would in the long term, lead to harm or
destruction of human beings. It reflects mainly on the freedom and good of the individual or
science society, yet again fails to take into account the freedom and good of the human clone
and the future human condition. As a result of this perspectival blind spot, is indeed
detrimental to mankind.
Pro

There is no doubt that the utility argument is admirable in some aspects

•ORGAN REPLACEMENT-- Parents can produce the clone of a sick child in order to
provide bone marrow or other bodily parts with minimal risk of rejection.

 TREATING DISEASE— Missing the chance for Therapeutic human cloning which can
be used to treat a number of degenerative diseases like those of the nervous
system, spinal cord injury and others. This would provide a life changing line of
treatment.

• UNPRODUCTIVITY--.

parents with a certain conditions thst can produce a child by cloning

•INFERTILITY-- For some infertile couples, cloning is a blessing that will allow the
couple to have a child as reproductive cloning does not involve fusion of sex cells.

 SELECTIVE HUMAN TRAITS --Cloning a child in order to ensure that he or she possesses
a certain trait, the assumption according to the utility argument is that we can
quantify accurately the satisfaction of the parents of that cloned child.
 HUMAN DEVELOPMENT—Enhance and advance human development.

 Cloning may Decrease Overall Human and Animal Value of Life. This means that
other traits of life could be altered or changed negatively if the process is
administered. And if genes are modified to create other smarter and brighter
beings than others, then an average person will have no place in the development
and life activities.
 The existing population, which is large enough as it is, will explode. There are
insufficient resources to support the residents of the world; adding clones to the
population would make things worse.
 Inhuman use of human beings. clone humans in order to harvest body parts such
as transplantable organs from them. Such inhuman use of humans should never be
countenanced by any society. The utility argument appears on the one hand to be
fascinated by the prospects of cloning and its potential benefit for the larger
society. But on the other hand, it is blind to the great costs that are incurred in
obtaining these benefits. Society should never allow so-called humane ends to be
achieved by inhumane means.
 When couples do not like their kids, they will find a better trait by cloning other
kids to get a perfect child. It could also introduce a new societal and family
division.
