Arguments against Human Cloning.


Reasons why this line should not be crossed was found not just by religious groups but also politicians as well as a lot of other people. One of the main reasons against cloning humans would be the fact that those scientists whom were in charge of the process would be playing the role of God, since there is a great chance this technology could be misused, there was a poll conducted among 1,005 American adults about how they felt about human cloning. There are also ethical aspects coming into effect when we think about human cloning. Since an advantage of human cloning would be making another clone to help, in the sense as a tool rather then a being to perhaps as a transplant to help a sick patient. The ethical factor which comes into affect, will be the fact that the clones should have the same rights as any other person and cannot be mistreated. Also there is a large chance of identity fraud since a major way by which people are identified are through DNA, so if there was one or more person with the same DNA, it could lead to mistaken identity.
