Question

Today, some scientists argue that cloning experiments should not be subject to state control. What is your opinion? Should governments oversee research on human cloning&

Answer 1

By scientists cloning (production of genetic copies) of animals raises the question of admissibility and the possible consequences of human cloning. The realization of this idea, protested by many people around the world can become destructive to society. Cloning an even greater extent than other reproductive technologies, opens the possibility of manipulation of the genetic component of the personality and contributes to its further devaluation. Person is not entitled to claim the role of the creator of his likes or to choose their genetic prototypes, thus determining their personal characteristics at his discretion. The idea of ​​cloning is a definite challenge to the very nature of man, inherent in him the image of God, part of which are the freedom and uniqueness of the individual. "Duplication" people with specified parameters can appear welcome only to adherents of totalitarian ideologies.I do not believe that the state should follow this.Cloning of human beings can corrupt the natural foundations of childbirth, consanguinity, motherhood and fatherhood. A child can become a sister of her mother, brother or father daughter grandfather. Are extremely dangerous and psychological consequences of cloning. A man came to being as a result of this procedure, can feel not like an independent person but only a "copy" of someone living or formerly living people. It should also be borne in mind that the "side-effects" experiments with human cloning inevitably would become numerous unfulfilled lives and, most likely, the birth of a large number of non-viable offspring. However, cloning of isolated cells and tissues is not an encroachment on the dignity of the individual, and in some cases has proved helpful in the biological and medical practice.
