Would you allow any scientific research that harms more than it helps to be carried out? To anyone, the answer is “absolutely not”. However, some unconscious scientists, who are indifferent to the dire consequences that human cloning will bring, are now carrying out such dangerous experiments. Although human cloning might be useful in the medical research, it can create needless harm to women and cause infinite sufferings to new lives. Therefore, human cloning is definitely not acceptable, and it should be immediately banned.
Human cloning will put women in needless danger which is obviously not the result we want to see. The process of human cloning involves the removal of nucleus from an egg cell so that a new set of genes could be replaced. However, due to the high failure rate in human cloning, a large amount of egg cells are required to carry out the experiments. Egg cells are so essential to women that only a few people are willing to have their egg cells taken away for experiments. Therefore, some evil people will either “buy” or kidnap women for their egg cells and after the removal of all their egg cells, these women can no longer give birth to new lives. That the women, in turn, facing the danger of losing their egg cells by either temptation or force is obviously not the result we want to see. Therefore, human cloning should not be allowed.
We cannot accept murder and therefore, we can never accept human cloning as new lives are killed in the process. In all animal species, the failure rate of cloning is enormous and a high success rate of human cloning is never guaranteed. In fact, in thousands of samples used in the experiments, only a few of them can eventually develop into babies who will most likely suffer from unexpected health problem which will end their pitiful lives at an early stage. If we consider each sample used in the experiment as a new life, then the scientists are doing nothing but massacring new lives. We cannot accept human cloning as we cannot accept the massacre Hitler had done to the Jews, and therefore, human cloning should be put into a standstill instantly.
Some scientists might want to defend their experiments by arguing its possible ability in future medical treatments. In fact, a lot of scientists and researchers do prove the amazing potential usage of human cloning in some of the medical treatments, from cancer to spinal-cord injuries. However, is it ethical to treat one’s disease by sacrificing a lot of new innocent lives? Some scientist might want to argue that the samples used in experiments are not full lives yet. However, all these samples used in the experiments are actually embryos which all of us once are. Therefore, I view all those scientists’ arguments as nonsensical and by crossing the very basic moral line, we are no much different from other primitive animals. The benefits of doing human cloning research can almost be neglected as it is not moral and ethical, and therefore it should not be allowed.
Would you allow any scientific experiment which brings about almost no benefits but creates social instability in the process to be carried out? No one will agree with such experiments after reading this passage. The benefits it could bring can be neglected, but the negative impacts it could bring to our society are immense. Therefore, I urge an immediate ban on human cloning so that it could remain as a fantasy in our pursuit for higher technologies.
