As John Greeney stated We had not, as a species, ever truly considered the likelihood that human reproduction would fall so fully under the hand of technology (1). However, once the reality of this controversial practice set in, scholars and common people alike began to debate the pros and cons of cloning fr...

Embryo Cloning Genetic Determinism
1,165 wordsThe news about the successful cloning of an adult sheep, in which the sheep's DNA was inserted into a fertilized sheep egg to produce a lamb with identical DNA, has generated an outpouring of ethical concerns. These concerns are not about Dolly, the first cloned mammal, nor even about the considerable impact cloning may have on the animal breeding industry. Theyre about the possibility of cloning humans. For the most part, however, the ethical concerns being raised are exaggerated and misplaced....
