(Myers, 2006, p. 99)
The clone's adult personality would still likely closely resemble that of the donor, but would not likely be an exact match of the other. The issue of temperament has a great deal to do with decisions, as when certain offerings are made to the individual infant, the individual infant will likely respond in a consistent manner according to his or her temperament. Temperament, according to Myers, is the least variable aspect of the individual, as seen by adoptive studies associated with what adoptive parent's can influence or change and what they can not. (p. 98)
The adult personality of monozygotic twins clearly differs, despite the fact that they share exactly the same DNA and presumably grew up in the same household. Where such individuals grew up in different households, such as is the case in adoptive twin situations the two individuals still share certain basic personality traits, i.e. those associated with temperament and therefore would make decisions when offered the same environment in a similar though not completely identical manner. (Parker & Bergmark, 2005, p. 350) It is therefore safe to assume that identical twins created in an artificial manner, i.e. through cloning will follow similar patterns of temperament, personality and identity development. The "truth" is likely somewhere closer to the middle, where nature determines many responses and opportunity changes and defines the individual.
There is even some evidence that twins who grow up in the same household may at some point choose to make opposing decisions based on the desire to assert individuality. While identical twins who grow up separately tend to...
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
Human Cloning Should be Allowed to Continue Human cloning is an issue involved in much debate, with the majority view being that cloning should not be allowed to continue. While the argument against human cloning is persuasive, it is also an argument based on fear and misunderstanding rather than reality. The negative view of human cloning is based on a negative perception of it based almost entirely in speculation. A
Also, human cloning can be compared to slavery, for the clone is nothing more than a product, much like a slave under the control of its master. In addition, human cloning will create an identity crisis within the cloned individual. For example, a child might be born with only one biological parent, due to the fact that the clone is an exact duplicate of the donor. Also, the clone could
Morality of Cloning In her book "Discovering Right and Wrong," Louis Pojman consistently makes the same point throughout her chapters: beyond all the debate and lack of consensus, and beyond all the confusion of relative morality, there should exist a true objective standard which a rational being can discover. In all her writing she seems to challenge the readers to look for objective evidence of truth, a plea which often
Kass Silver Ethics Cloning Genetic engineering is one of the most contentious and confusion ethical issues that is faced by modern society. An investigation into hypothetical cases where cloning is used can help to expose some of the ethical considerations implicit in genetic engineering technology. This paper will review the case of a child born as a clone of the father, using the perspective of Lee M. Silver, author of Remaking
