LUKE+-+Cloning

=T.O.K. - Cloning=

Knowledge issues:
1. Is the use of all new technology considered ethical? 2. What disadvantages come from utilising new, unproved technology?

Explanation:
1. Cloning, if we make replica humans, how will identity theft change? how to make something only belong to one person if there are a few of the same person. what will happen if you clone somebody without their connect? how will you prove who is the original? 2. in this case, what happens if there is something wrong with the clones? if there is some genetic defect or mutation?

Evidence:
1. In an article written by Oliver Morton, published in Newsweek International, He sets out his beliefs and reasons for cloning and genetic modification on humans. he believes that utilising this technology on humans is perfectly acceptable in the condition to replace or repair existing parts of someones body. using the tech for simply making another human would, in his opinion be unsuitable.("Cloning humans in order to make walking, talking people is still disliked by many and is not a major feature of most research agendas") Oliver believes that any use of the technology must be thought about rationally and be used for the best for all of man-kind. "(These new technologies could change the stories of all our lives. We must take care to try and make those changes sensible, compassionate ones, to worry about real lives, rather than some idealised "life.")"

2. Joni Praded writes that Cloning itself is not a bad thing, it is useful and can contribute to our world however, cloning of humans crosses a line. ("genetic tinkering for agriculture or medicine is good, but human cloning crosses a line.")
