For my annotated bibliography and the argumentative paper I
am writing about human cloning. To me this is a very good topic to write about
because there are several people on both sides of the fence. Some people say it
is a way of doing God’s work and should only be done by him, not us humans.
Other people argue that it is simply a way to recreate a human for those that
cannot reproduce on their own. I will be weighing the good against the bad and
stating many facts in my paper. Arguments are backed by facts and I have found
plenty to support my argument. I do not feel that human cloning should be done
at all. There have been several types of cloning since around 1970 which
includes animals, but none of humans. The risk of developing abnormal humans as
a result is very high. To me there is no since in created something that God
has already done. If we are meant to bear children, we do. If we want to have a
child there are plenty of children already born who need homes and loving
parents, why not adopt? Just because a child didn’t come from your genes it doesn’t
mean you are not their parents. If human cloning were successful it’s not a guarantee
for that person to be what you expected in the first place.
Wow, this is a really great topic to write about! I had never thought of that. Good choice on the topic! Like you said, a lot of people are border line with the idea. I think that is the best reason why it is a great topic. I know of people who have cloned horses. They are in the making of becoming what their clone was. It is simply amazing. I just do not know about humans though.
ReplyDeleteI do not think that humans should be able to clone other humans. I agree that there are many of other children out in the world that needs a home and just because they do not have your DNA does not mean a parent cannot love them like their own. I think this will be a great paper!
ReplyDeleteI do not think that human cloning should be able to take place for more than one reason. I think that giving life should be left up to God and not science. Another reason it’s scary to think that a person can be created by man just from another person’s DNA. I would not like the idea of another me that someone has created walking around. I think this is a great topic that should be discussed.
ReplyDeleteI never put too much thought in human cloning. But I think that it might be a good idea. If one of my children would happen to pass away, I think that I would want to have another one of them. I do not want to have to think of living now without one of them. If there is any way to keep them with me forever, then I would.
ReplyDeleteI think human cloning or cloning of any kind should be against the law. I wathced the movie My Sisters Keeper where the little girl was sick and her parents had another child so they could use her body to treat their other dying child. It was so sad. We are not God and I don't believe any human has the godly authority to make, clone, or recreate another living creature. It is a recipe for disaster.
