When the cloning of Dolly, the sheep, was announced the media understandably jumped on the story. Immediately the attention was focus in the possibility of cloning human beings. The ethical questions and concerns surrounding the cloning of humans are the most dramatic. This controversy surrounding animal cloning and the possibility of human cloning does not mark the first time that biological innovation has created such concern but certainly has become one of the more emotive and c

sound moral reasons why human communities have always tied sexual desire to love, and love to marriage, and marriage to the care of children. Neither the extreme view demanding that every sexual act be "open" to procreation, nor the modern presumption that we should be free to depersonalize the act of procreation is the best way to promote continuum of interventions is difficult. In the acceptance of each new technology such as artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, surrogate motherhood, a logic of justification is advanced that makes the next moral hurdle seem lower still. There is widespread uneasiness over giving scientists and potential DNA donors the ability to determine the entire genetic make-up of new human lives.

On February 24, with the appearance of Dolly the cloned sheep, President Clinton appointed a National Bioethics Advisory Commission, asking it to report with recommendations on possible federal actions to prevent the "abuse" of cloning human

Once more the proposition of a five years banning is not enough. Congress should ban human cloning now. The deliberate creation of headless humans must be made a crime, indeed a capital crime. The technology combined with financial interests and a propaganda machine makes the nightmare almost inevitable, unless we draw the line now.

sexuality through 'twin fission,' cloning or parthenogenesis are to be considered contrary to the moral law, since they are in opposition to the dignity both of human procreation and of the conjugal union. The reasons behind this judgment about the possibility of

There are dangers, but not the ones everyone's talking about, the idea that cloning is the technology that will finally make it possible to apply genetic engineering to humans. First, parents will want to banish inherited diseases like Tay-Sachs. Then they will try to eliminate predisposition to alcoholism and obesity. In the end, they will attempt to augment normal traits like intelligence and athletic prowess. Perhaps we should ask ourselves which we fear more , the idea of that cloning will produce multiple copies of crazed despots, or that it will lead to the society portrayed in Gattaca, the recent science-fiction thriller in which genetic enhancement of a privileged few creates a rigid caste structure. By acting sensibly and smart, the best solution is to avoid both traps.
