Abstract
The paper discusses how cloning appears to offer the hope of miraculous improvements in health care. For example, it is possible that diseased organs could be replaced by simply growing new ones. The paper explains, however, that if we develop the expertise to routinely grow new human parts and even new human beings, this clearly has implications for human rights. The paper notes that in particular, there are two areas where cloning has the potential to impact human rights.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that cloning offers the prospect of scientists being able to create a new individual genetically identical to another person. The writer points out that the science to do this has almost been perfected. The writer notes that some people believe that cloning technology should be vigorously developed, as it offers an enormous potential to cure diseases and so reduce human suffering. However, this essay argues that this potential benefit is outweighed by the massive potential ethical problems. Therefore, it is argued that cloning of human beings should be outlawed worldwide.

From the Paper
"One compelling reason to ban cloning is with regard to the human rights of potential cloned beings. Things that are manufactured are usually, by definition, property, and so do not have human rights. Thus, if a company were to clone human beings, it could possibly have the power to use these people as "spare parts" for rich clients. This potential ethical minefield was explored in the recent film, The Island. In this film, rich people have clones made from their DNA, and "store" them in an underground facility. The clones have no idea they are clones - they think they are the survivors of a nuclear holocaust, kept confined for their own safety. When their "owners" become sick or are injured, the clones are simply killed to provide spare parts. The clones are even used for breeding purposes. In this way, a female customer of the clone company can "give birth" to her own genetic offspring without the inconvenience of being pregnant."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the ethical and moral issues concerning the cloning of human beings. The author touches on some aspects of cloning, how it has developed and its side-effects. The author gives an opinionated argument about the effects that cloning of human beings will have on society's perception of what it means to be a human being, as well as questions about a cloned individual's personal identity, uniqueness, and individuality.

From the Paper
"Recent news that scientists in Scotland had succeeded in cloning an adult sheep ignited a worldwide debate. Of particular concern are the ethical and social implications of the potential application of cloning techniques to produce human beings. The Scottish announcement marked the first time that researchers were able to produce an exact genetic replica of an adult animal."

Abstract
Human cloning is nearly possible. It may or may not be desirable in ethical or moral terms. It appears to offer the possibility to some bereaved parents who wish to recreate a child who has been lost. However, the question remains of whether or not the reproduced child will have the same personality as the original. It seems hard to argue that both nature and nurture are important in this situation, which seeks to duplicate an already existing personality. Unfortunately for those who might wish to attempt the task, it seems unlikely that their attempts will be successful.

Nature vs. Nurture and the Cloned Human The topic of cloning has led to a great debate on what it means to be a human, particularly in terms of personality. There are people who believe it is possible to reproduce their deceased loved ones, while others believe that it is not only undesirable to make such an attempt, but that it is an impossible goal to achieve. This divide leads to an important question being asked: What is it that makes a person unique? Is a person's personality due to his or her genes, or is it from his or her upbringing? Is it nature, or is it nurture? Cloning human beings has frequently been explored in fiction. One novel

Abstract
This paper examines the questions and objections raised by those opposed to the cloning of human beings. It discusses the fact that science is "incomplete" and therefore unable to predict the outcome of cloned humans. It also examines the ethical questions surrounding the topic, including the fact that the souls of cloned humans cannot be copied, only their physical and genetic make-up. Finally, the paper argues that before science attempts to clone humans, it should come up with the answers to the many religious, ethical and moral dilemmas pertaining to the subject.

From the Paper
"Another important question to ask is what kind of relationship would the clone have with the donor who is supposed to be acting like a parent? This is not a very good argument. Confidentiality would keep anyone but the parents and the doctors from knowing that the child is a clone. As stated earlier, the parent whom the child was cloned from and the child would not necessarily look alike, at least not any more alike than a child can normally look like a parent, and they would not necessarily act alike. The womb environment and the environment within the first couple of years after birth has such a huge affect on us, that the child may never know he/she was a clone, and, if cloning were perfected, no one would even ever suspect that the child was a clone."

Abstract
The paper describes the process of cloning mammals like Dolly and discusses why humans have not yet been cloned. The writer of the paper predicts that cloning will happen in his lifetime, but does not think it will happen in the United States. The writer relates that he is not in favor of the process, since while its benefits may be significant, they pale in comparison to the other medical and scientific problems that deserve the attention of medical science. The writer argues that scientists should be focusing on finding a cure for cancers, AIDS and the issues of world overpopulation and hunger.

From the Paper
"Although several types of cloning exist, including DNA cloning, reproductive cloning, and therapeutic cloning, the type that is most often referred to as "cloning" in science textbooks and the mass media is reproductive cloning. This is the type of cloning necessary to produce one animal from another animal that is either currently alive, or has lived previously (U.S. Department of Energy). Of course, animals already have a way of producing other animals, procreation. Cloning differs from procreation in that a cloned animal shares nuclear DNA with the other animal. In fact, the cloned animal would be nearly a carbon copy of the original animal. Dolly the sheep was the first mammal to be cloned; she was born in 1996 and died in 2003 (U.S. Department of Energy). The process of cloning mammals like Dolly is complex, but is rather simple in principal."

Abstract
This six-page-paper discusses the negative aspects of human cloning. While the world watched in awe, we saw Dolly the sheep come forth and with her birth we raced to determine if we could clone ourselves. The author details the many reasons that it would be a mistake and one that would be hard to correct.

Abstract
This paper presents arguments in support of the position that the cloning of humans is a major violation against our embodied and engendered selves as human beings and has the potential to destroy the social relations as designed by nature.

From the Paper
"First of all, human cloning has the potential to completely alter the future of a human being, especially in relation to the unborn, and violates the right to choose how a person lives his/her own life and the right to be a unique human being, both mentally and physically. Also, it is a violation on the part of the clone itself, meaning that he/she will be deprived of the opportunity to live within a viable future, not to mention that all the important aspects of a person will be known beforehand, such as physical appearance and abilities which will place a huge burden on the person as to the expectations of others."

Abstract
The paper discusses the primary advantage of human cloning that seems to be, according to its proponents, largely centered on the medical and health related research benefits. The paper then explains how detractors of cloning concentrate on its moral and ethical implications vis-a-vis religious and professional structures. The paper argues that irrespective of an individual's point of view, the clear and unassailable evidence indicates that cloning holds the potential to greatly benefit mankind across the spectrum of scientific and medical activity and should be pursued with all alacrity.

Abstract
There is a dispute in both the scientific and secular worlds regarding genetic cloning. Some scientists wish to clone headless humans to use for body parts. The paper shows that many experts in both the secular and scientific fields argue this is immoral and wrong. They call for bans on human cloning. Most people, however, feel the cloning of human stem cells to build human organs is justified. There are scientific and genetic; psychological, political and social, moral and ethical reasons for banning the cloning humans, however the paper shows that there are numerous benefits for the cloning of human body parts using stem cells and animals.

From the Paper
"In spite of the debate over human cloning, there is a consensus condoning the cloning of human tissues and organs for use as donor organs. Scientists and religious leaders agree the cloning of human embryos is justified, but disagree on the types of research that should be legal. Even, Representative Vernon Ehlers, who authored the congressional bill banning human cloning, believes the research should continue."
