One of the most debatable issues these days is cloning. Actually I am for cloning because it could be a way for further technological and genetic advancements in science. My reason also back then is to give scientists a chance. One should always have an open mind whenever addressing this issue. My analogy regarding the concept of having an open mind in cloning is when Copernicus proposed the theory that the sun is the center of the universe. During his time, the concept that the earth is the center of the universe is widely accepted. Moreover, people back then is so narrow minded that it led to his idea's rejection and also to his excommunication. On the contrary, after decades, the people have learned that the sun is indeed the center of the universe. In the same way this concept can be related in cloning. People should try things because they lead to new things. However, in the course of last weeks' Science 10 class debate about cloning left me wondering whether on which side will I be on. Last Thursday, the group that agrees with cloning was unprepared. They presented weak and lame proofs. My God! They couldn't even support their claims. The first speakers don't know the difference between impotence and infertility and its implications to cloning. Their contradicting proofs gave my mind reasons to wander and to oppose cloning. The class' definition of cloning is a procedure wherein an exact copy of an organism is made.
In class, the first reason that was presented by the group against cloning was the image of spare parts involved in cloning. Cloning will be used to create an individual and get some "parts" of that organism so that the damaged part of the original organism can be replaced. (Without the hassle that the body of the organism would reject that part because that part is technically the organism's "own"). This image poses an ethical issue because life of that created organism will also be "tampered" upon illegally beyond his rights. No...
