The Ethical and Rational Effect of Human Cloning Technology

When scientists cloned sheep Dolly and other animals, the attitude toward human cloning technology was not clear. Human reproductive cloning involves making an entire cloned human instead of only cells or organs. This type of cloning may cause ethical problems – how to define their identity between real and cloned human beings; how do human beings treat artificial creatures in real society? Plus, it may also cause societal issues; for instance, whether this technology may be taken advantage of by capitalism for class solidification. Reproductive cloning is strictly prohibited in some countries. In recent years, some scientists have been encouraged to lose the restrictions on this research; however, the public has quite different attitudes toward cloning. This paper justifies that human cloning technology needs development with reasonable government restrictions.
