CLONING

    Cloning …..   process of genetically creating        an identical copy of an organism

Page 3: Why not human cloning

Reproductive Cloning         Organism with same DNA as that of donor

 Therapeutic Cloning         Developing embryo for stem cells

 DNA Cloning         DNA is replicated using viruses

Replacement Cloning        Combination of reproductive and therapeutic cloning for   

body part replacement

TYPES

Page 4: Why not human cloning

ISSUESThe cloning debate has also been reinforced with ethical, religious, scientific, moral, medical issues

Page 5: Why not human cloning

Carries a high risk of abnormality in the resulting child. 

Put both the cell donor and the birth mother at risk. 

High failure rate( Dolly: 1 out of 276 attempts ).

Telomere length, result in short life span.

Often have large organs during their birth. "Large Offspring   Syndrome

SCIENTIFIC ISSUES

Page 6: Why not human cloning

Medical issues

•Health risks from mutated genes •Lung problems •Heart defects 

•Neurological disorders •Unstable immune system

 Possible miscarriage or still birth 

Page 7: Why not human cloning

Legal issues

     Difficulties of enforcing laws: 

 Criminal identity

Property problem of donor and clones

Kinship of offspring

Page 8: Why not human cloning

• Genetically identical with another person

• Feeling of less uniqueness

• The most accurate human identity diagnosis will fail (e.g. DNA profile, fingerprints)

• Psychological: Growing up knowing yourself to be a genetic copy of someone

Identity and Uniqueness

Page 9: Why not human cloning

Cloning could lead to extinction

If every one has the same type of genes there is a risk of getting infected by the same type of pathogen. 

• lack of diversity amongst the human population. The natural process of evolution will be halted, 

If clones were manufactured to be perfect, would all imperfect    real-humans become the minority

lead to an overpopulated planet ..less  resources.. More death.

Cloning  …….   involves throwing away some fertilized embryos

Doctors might use clones as sources for organs for organ transplants

Clone will be treated as property which can be sold to anybody else.

Human trade will rise when average people can make good money supplying babies.

human being should be a product (like packets of soup from a factory), or a tool (produced in a workshop)

selling humans is unethical, inhumane and immoral.

ETHICAL ISSUES
