Cloning human is unethical and unjust.

Thank you for my opponent argument, I shall reveal my point right now: Cloning, based on the definition from the merriam-webster dictionary is: 1 : to propagate a clone from 2 : to make a copy of ( http://www.merriam-webster.com... ) Here are my opponent's first arguments: 1. Human body parts can be cloned in order to replace parts that have been damaged or mutilated. 2. Organ systems cloned in large numbers can be used for drug testing. 3. Replicating human body parts allows for great leaps in the sciences of biotechnology; augmenting the human body with technology. I'm going to go one by one with these arguments. "1. Human body parts can be cloned in order to replace parts that have been damaged or mutilated." This we can consider as therapeutic cloning, which is the cloning of human organs to cure diseases, or as my opponent said to replace parts have been damaged or mutiplated, but let's us take a look at how it works: 1. Take a woman's ovum, and remove its DNA. This converts it to a form of human life into what is basically a factory for creating a pre-embryo. 2. Remove the DNA from a cell taken from a human, and inserting it into the ovum. 3. Giving the resulting ovum an electrical shock to start up its embryo making operation. In a small percentage of cases, a pre-embryo will be formed. 4. The pre-embryo is allowed to develop and produce many stem cells. So far, the procedure is identical to that used in adult DNA cloning. However, the pre-embryo is not implanted in a woman's womb in order to try to produce a pregnancy. 5. Stem cells are removed from the pre-embryo; this results in its death. 6. The stem cells would be encouraged to grow into whatever tissue or organ is needed to treat the patient. Stem cells are a unique form of human cell that can theoretically develop into many organs or body parts the body. 7. The tissue or organ would be transplanted into the patient now let's look at the problems we would have: Methods have to be developed that will cure or treat diseases with embryonic stem cells. This looks promising. Research with adult stem cells, which has been underway for many years, have shown great promise. Unfortunately, adult cells are limited in their application. Research using therapeutic cloning is a new field, but it has already shown that stem cells from embryos have much greater flexibility than adult stem cells. Some believe that somatic cell nuclear transfer is sufficiently similar to normal conception with an egg and spermatozoa that a human person also comes into existence during therapeutic cloning. The process of extracting stem cells involves killing the embryo. To many pro-lifers, this is murder. They feel that murdering one person, the embryo, to cure another person of paralysis As of 2003-MAR, therapeutic cloning is still in its early stages of development. Stem cells have sometimes mutated, and thus been rejected by the recipient's body. In other cases, at least with experiments on animals, they have produced tumors. It is obvious that therapeutic cloning will not be feasible until these deficiencies have been overcome. Thomas Okarma, chief executive of Geron Corporation -- a leading stem-cell research establishment -- estimated that takes "100 eggs if you're lucky" to produce a useable stem cell line. 6 This means that if a cure for diabetes involving therapeutic cloning is found, it would take 1.5 billion eggs to cure the 15 million Americans who have diabetes. s. Even if and when techniques are found to reliably produce one custom stem cell line for each egg harvested from a woman, 15 million eggs would be required to completely wipe out diabetes. Extracting eggs from women is "painful, costly and unreliable." ( http://www.religioustolerance.org... ) "2. Organ systems cloned in large numbers can be used for drug testing." t would rather be almost impossible, as included on my previous argument. "3. Replicating human body parts allows for great leaps in the sciences of biotechnology; augmenting the human body with technology." also included. I hope I can see my opponent talks some more about the ethicity about this topic more, but thank you anyway and I'll await for my opponent new argument.
