Human Cloning

This paper presents the main arguments for and against human cloning. The paper attempts to show that cloning has numerous negative factors against it, which outweigh any positive aspects that may be cited in favor of this procedure. The paper presents fundamental questions about the possible effects of cloning on human nature. The paper contends that cloning should be severely restricted so that society does not slip into an era where the significance and uniqueness of a human being is reduced and possibly obliterated.

From the Paper:

"All theory about cloning suddenly became potential fact with the news on February 23, 1997 that a sheep named Dolly had been successfully cloned from the non-reproductive tissue of an adult male sheep. The result was a genetically identical clone. The scientific breakthrough represented by the Dolly clone was the fact that differentiated cells could be undifferentiated and used to produce a new "duplicate" entity."
