QUOTE a) We do not have too much population as it is. If the entire world lived at the population density of Hong Kong, we could all fit into the state of New Jersey. If we lived at the population density of New York City, we could all fit into Yugoslavia. Well with the current population growth we should be thinking of ways to slow down growth, cloning would onli speed it up QUOTE Besides, cloning does not increase population any faster than sex does. A baby still has to be fertilized and developed. But this would allow for rapid, selective, fertilization QUOTE b) If you really valued the individual, then you would respect the right of the individual to OWN his own genetic code--and to duplicate or alter it as he so wishes. To abolish cloning is saying that the individuals' genome belongs to the government--this devaluse people ??? I suppose it could be one's own choice to clone oneself.. but that's not such a likely possibility.. but it would still devalue the individual and when society realizes that genetics can be so easily manipulated.. i mean.. what's next? selective breeding? QUOTE c) How could cloning be "abused"? As opposed to the airplane? You think the Wright Brothers should have not invented teh airplane cause Sept 11th MIGHT have happeend down the road? Well by your analogy.. anything can be abused.. so thus nothing should be utilized for fear of abuse QUOTE When a government gambles in human lives, it loses more often than it wins. Doesnt that support my case? |
