Animal Cloning

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses that animal cloning is an issue that has stirred great controversy among scientists, philosophers, and members of religious groups, with some objecting to cloning from religious standpoints and others objecting on the basis that a great many early animal clones were born with severe birth defects. The author stresses the teachings of Auguste Comte, which center on the theories of evolution, to question the ethical and moral implications of using animal cloning. The paper relates that the Stoics believed the path to personal happiness and inner peace is through the extinguishing of all desire to have or to affect things beyond one's control, such as animal cloning.

From the Paper:

"Comte's theory is also laden with his political views that seem to support the social order and discourage revolution. This is accomplished through his discussion of slow and progressive societal change. Comte also attempted to convince the reader that social change is the result of natural social laws that cannot be changed, so instead of revolting he suggests that the lower classes should adopt a positive attitude toward them. Comte's aim was to create a naturalistic science of society, which would both explain the past development of mankind and predict its future course."
