Human cloning revolves around the duplication of same genes and thus, this would have a negative impact on the diversity of creation. Furthermore, Muslim scholars question that if human cloning is allowed, then how the clone would be treated? What would be the ethical, social and moral value of the clone? Furthermore, human cloning is forbidden in Islam because it interferes with the pattern of creating things in pairs, as Allah said in His Qur'an "And of everything we have created pairs, that ye may receive instruction." (Az-Zariyat: 49)" (Kass, 2002).
In Islam, cloning is opposite of this principle as it is dependent on one gender only. However, it should be noted that Islam permits cloning of particular organ, which would be used for curative procedures only. For instance, a cloned kidney can be used for an individual, whose both kidneys have failed. In this regard, Muslim scholars agree that cloning a particular part can be used to save the life of a patient.
Human Cloning and the World
If human cloning is allowed, then the entire face of humanity would change. Firstly, cloning would allow same sex couples to have children, who would have similar genes. Cloning can allow human beings to alter and modify genes. Parents would have in their hands to select desirable attributes and genes, which they would want in their children (Brannigan, 2001). Human cloning can also assist in replacing injured organs or tissues. From research, it is evident that it can also assist in curing fatal diseases such as cancer, heart disease, brain disease, etc. A New York University professor, Jacob M. Appel, asserted that human cloning can change the face of humanity. He suggested that human cloned children can provide bone marrow to their siblings suffering from blood cancer and thus they would be seen as heroes (Jeffery, 2008, Bonnicksen, 2002). In terms of reproduction, human cloning can change the face of humanity. Researchers and scientists assert that reproductive cloning would be beneficial in developing new techniques for achieving fertility. Furthermore, they assert that cloning would assist infertile couples to have their own babies. There is also a possibility that human cloning can stop and control the process of aging.
Although human cloning is appealing, it can have a negative impact on society. Firstly, human cloning concentrates on removing the flaws of society and concentrated...
Ethics of Human Cloning Ever since Dolly the Sheep was initially cloned in the latter portion of the 20th century, there has been widespread debate over the ethical issues and the practicality of human cloning. Many points of these issues are elucidated within a pair of essays in which the respective authors argue for and against cloning. John Harris' article, "The Poverty of Objections to Human Reproductive Cloning" examines these points
Human Cloning The Cloning of Human Beings Cloning is the creation of an exact biological twin generated from the DNA of a donor. In effect, a person creates an exact copy, with the exact genetic sequence, from their own DNA. While the cloning of human beings has been the realm of science fiction, the creation of sheep clones has pushed the idea of human cloning into the range of possibilities. At present,
Human Cloning The subject of human cloning was once the stuff of science fiction novels and television programs. As technology and science improves, the creation of clones has become, potentially, a real likelihood in the impending future. For the follow, the definition of human cloning is that which has been designated by the American Medical Association: The term "cloning" will refer to the production of genetically identical organisms via somatic cell nuclear
Ethics of Human Cloning Two Major Types of Cloning In the 1980 epoch, numerous scientists initiated researching formulas of cloning the high order animals, particularly mammals (Kass 2002, p. 7). The heightening success of their research and experiments has resulted into pervasive discussion over the probability of human cloning. This discussion has elicited extensive disagreements within the scientific society and the entire public over whether the research of human cloning is right.
It focuses on the controversy, and provides answers to the question of whether or not stem cell research is providing the benefits in the ways in which the public believes they will soon be benefiting from the research. The authors contend that partisan responses to the public's concerns over stem cell research are delaying the benefits of much needed treatments and cures that can be derived from stem cell research
Human Cloning Debate When Frankenstein was adapted for stage in 1823 the production's title was Presumption; or, The Fate of Frankenstein. A Victorian audience was concerned with the theme of a man's ambition to replace God by creating a new species. Equal emphasis was placed on this aspect of the novel in the 1831 introduction of Frankenstein, "It is Mary Shelly's critique of where such highly abstracted creative powers can lead
