Number of pages:
4
ABSTRACT:
This is a 4 page paper discussing the philosophical arguments presented in regards to cloning. Philosophical arguments against the process of cloning, a medical procedure of duplicating genetic code (DNA) of individuals in order to produce a new generation of “duplicates”, is not only based on the moral considerations raised by those in society in regards to the uniqueness of individuals and the preservation of “human dignity” but also in regards to the safety of the procedure and how it will be used in the future. In consideration of cloning, philosopher Lady Mary Warnock presents arguments based on a “hypothetical” future in which cloning has been deemed a safe procedure while additional discussion takes further account of using morality as a sound basis for medical decisions.
Bibliography lists 4 sources.
