On the other hand, from the perspective of sociology and folklore, as long as social customs treat the relationship between cloned people and cloned people in this way and call them brothers and sisters or parents and descendants, it is not a big ethical issue. Moreover, ethics changes with the change of society. In the past, three obedience and four virtues were the old ethics of suppressing women, but now it has changed; In the past, artificial insemination was not accepted by social ethics, but now it is accepted, which shows that ethics is not two major problems.
What you said is of course reasonable, otherwise it is difficult to explain why most countries prohibit human cloning, especially Germany, which has suffered genocide, and resolutely oppose the research on human embryos and human cloning. However, on the other hand, it is obviously not that simple to create a genius or a devil by cloning human beings.
As we all know, whether a person can become a talent depends partly on his genes and partly on his living environment. No one can guarantee that the cloned Einstein is equal to the original Einstein by cloning Einstein's cells, unless you have created an environment for cloning Einstein in the past, even if you have experienced World War II, been brutally persecuted by the Nazis, and have been sad in the motherland ... If there is no such environment, it is hard to say whether there will be a second Einstein and whether there will be Einstein's thoughts and feelings. Therefore, the sages of China emphasized the role of the acquired environment. "God will be a great task for the Sri Lankan people, so we must work hard for their bones and muscles first.
Leon: The first advantage of human cloning is that infertile patients who are in great pain because they can't have children can have their own children. Secondly, such cloning only uses the husband and wife's own sperm and eggs, avoiding the ethical and psychological shadow. In addition, cloning can also save endangered animals, maintain a reasonable population gender balance and protect the genetic genes of ethnic minorities. More importantly, human cloning can
It is used to study, compare and prove which is more important to human growth, environment or heredity.
Of course, there are some scientific facts in what you said, but they have not been completely confirmed by science. Some scientific experiments have come to the opposite conclusion. For example, Yang Xiang, a scientist from China, Connecticut, USA, successfully cloned 10 calf from the somatic cells of a cow aged 13. From DNA analysis, it was found that the telomeres of cloned cattle were much longer than those of their donors, and there was no difference between them and calves born naturally at the same age. This shows that the biological age of cloned cattle is exactly the same as that of cattle with natural sexual reproduction ability, which proves that cloned offspring have no premature aging.
Human cloning is a way and right of human reproduction. There are 70 million men in the world without any form of fertility. Human cloning is the last way of human reproduction. To overcome male infertility, cloning technology may be the last sword. Moreover, there are also many infertile people who ask scientists to use cloning technology to help them conceive children because they can't produce mature sperm. They also have the right to raise children and enjoy family happiness.
But human cloning should also be an effective method. Why not let scientists have a try? It is human nature to explore the unknown, and it is also the characteristic of scientific research. Some scientists just want to be the first person to eat crabs in the field of cloning. Why not allow them to try?
One kind is people who are not utilitarian and utilitarian. They just want to see if cloning can produce life and what kind of results it will produce.
In fact, the main reason why people can't accept human cloning experiments is the obstacle of traditional ethics. For thousands of years, human beings have been following the way of sexual reproduction, but human cloning is a product in the laboratory and a life created under human manipulation. Especially in the west, cloning "abandoning God to divide Adam and Eve" has been opposed by many religious organizations. Moreover, the relationship between clones is also contrary to the traditional ethical way of determining kinship by blood. All these make it impossible for clones to find a suitable place to live in traditional human ethics. However, as He Xiuxiu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said, "The ethical issues of human cloning should be faced squarely, but there is no reason to oppose scientific and technological progress." The development of human society itself tells us that it is a historical progress for science and technology to drive people to update their ideas, while it is rigid to bind the development of science and technology with old ideas. Historically, blood transfusion technology, organ transplantation, etc. , has brought great ethical controversy, in 1978 when the first test-tube baby was born, caused an uproar, but now, people have been able to treat all this correctly. This shows that the idea of constantly updating in the face of scientific and technological development has not brought disaster to mankind, on the contrary, it has benefited mankind. As far as cloning technology is concerned, "therapeutic cloning" will make a breakthrough in producing transplanted organs and overcoming diseases, and bring revolutionary changes to biotechnology and medical technology. For example, when your daughter needs a bone marrow transplant, no one can provide it for her; When you unfortunately lost a 5-year-old child, you can't get rid of the pain; When you want to raise your own children but can't have children ... maybe you can realize the great scientific value and practical significance of cloning. The research of therapeutic cloning and the experiment of complete human cloning complement and promote each other. The end point of therapeutic cloning is the emergence of complete human cloning. If used properly, they can and should bring good news to human society.
