Ethics in Cloning
lEthical
questions arise about taking nature into our own hands by cloning animals or people.
lPeople question when we will draw the line for getting involved
in natural events.
lReligious organizations consider nuclear transfer to cause men
to be reproductively obsolete.
lThey also
claim that cloning does not respect the fact that humans have souls. They also
consider cloning unnatural, and say we are taking the work of
God into our own hands.
lThere is also
a debate as to the moral rights of clones. Cloning would deprive a person of uniqueness.
lWould they have the same rights as everyone
else (look at the problems with race, culture etc.)
lPeople also wonder what mental and emotional problems would
result if a clone were to find out that he or she was cloned.
