Cloning

Reproductive Cloning
Reproductive cloning is performed with the express intent of
creating another organism. This organism is the exact duplicate of
one that already exists or has existed in the past. Cloning of plants,
animals, and humans falls into the class of reproductive cloning.Reproductive cloning has only been used for research. Reproductive cloning could be used effectively for repopulating endangered species or to help make breeding of specific animals easier. Also reproductive cloning against everything we believe in because I always believe that people should be unique and reproductive cloning destroy the idea of uniqueness.

Therapeutic Cloning

Therapeutic cloning is performed, not to produce another organism,
but to harvest embryonic stem cells for use in medical
treatments. Embryonic stem cells are those cells found inside of
developing embryos. They can be used to produce a number of
different cells including tissue, muscle, and organ cells.Therapeutic cloning is intended for medical use. Therapeutic cloning can be used to create skin for burn victims, organs for transplant patients. Therapeutic cloning may also help those suffering from heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, or Parkinson's disease.  So therapeutic cloning helps people to some disease and it is ethic for all people but some peoples still have a divided opinion for reproductive cloning. So ethical issues is the main difference between therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning.

Human Genome Project

Do you think the advances in genetics and what we know about human genetics prove that humans are more similar to each other, or that humans are more different from each other?



Genetically, humans share about 95% to 98% of their genes with everyone else, no matter what race. The biggest difference in people is not their physical form, but their ideology. Off course peoples are different from each other because of the people all got different parts of their parents' DNA and their parents' DNA was already different from other people. Also peoples are different because of the ideology and temperamentally because our characters are all different because they are formed when we are young and our family background and our environment contribute to shape our personality, so we differ from people who had a very different background and lived in different times. Also our DNA did not Human Genome Project show us humans have a small but a billion bases and this makes peoples different and special. So in genetically and temperamentally peoples are different from each other.

Karyotype

I think laws cannot solve this problem. The people who are expecting child should give this decision. For example if you are waiting a child and you are a older than 35 you should have the right to have an abortion. But it should not be obligation it should be a question of personal freedom. Also is governments make this test illegal they should make this restrict in their country. No one can restrict each other’s right.

BIOMASS

 I think we should use a new technique to find the measure of biomass. Because it destroys plants and trees it demolishes the ecology. So it’s not ethical but measure of biomass is important for learning the amount of natural information so we need it but we should not destroy them we should create new techniques. If we do not find or create new techniques we are going to give a very big damage to ecology and we cannot fix it.
