Attempts to create a human being by cloning should be banned for several reasons. Although cloning has some benefits, attempts to clone a human will bring up many moral and ethical issues. Seppa (1997) reports that the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NABC) concludes that it would be "morally unacceptable for anyone in the public or private sector... to attempt to create a child by implanting cloned embryos in a woman." Cloning has many benefits, but it also poses great risks to the human race. This report will show why cloning should be banned.

McKinnel (1979) reports that cloning has been around for decades and that scientists have known how to clone in principle for at least two decades. Scientists have been able to clone both plants and animals. They can grow a whole new plant from a fragment of an existing plant. Cloning has been used in agriculture to produce high quality uniform products. Scientists have cloned frogs for scientific research. Gould (1997) reports that scientists from Scotland were able to clone a sheep from an adult cell. The sheep named Dolly is not the first mammal ever cloned. This is just one step closer to cloning humans. Plants and animals

Cloning should be banned for the reasons above. There is a real potential for developmental abnormalities. The risk of producing abnormal humans is dangerous to the human race and the moral and ethical issues will continue unless human cloning is banned.

Cloning will raise moral and ethical issues. Seppa (1997) reported that anti-abortionists feel that life should start at conception. Therefore they feel that cloning should be banned. If cloning does happen, there is a real potential for developmental abnormalities. McKinnel (1979) reported that nature is imperfect and so is the potential synthetic human produced by cloning. Cloning humans raises moral issues. Seppa (1997) reported that Ezekiel Emanuel said "a child born of cloning would face an enormous weight of social and parental expectations about what and who that child should be." Cloning raises many moral and ethical issues, but cloning does have some benefits.

have been cloned for decades, but cloning poses great risks to humans.

Cloning poses great risks to humans. The NABC concluded that the technique the Scots used to clone a sheep would be harmful to humans. Seppa (1997) reported that Alta Charo said "before successfully cloning a lamb, the researchers failed 277 times, producing many abnormal and still born animals.

Cloning also raises moral and ethical issues. Seppa (1997) reported that Ezekiel Emanuel said "a child born of cloning would face enormous social and parental expectations about what and who that child should be." Anti-abortionists believe that life starts at conception and that cloning should be banned.

Attempts to create a human being by cloning should be banned. Cloning does have some benefits, but it raises many moral and ethical issues. The National Bioethics Advi
