clones

It would be a positive medical advance that would bring relief to many different diseases that we would not be able to treat before, but is it right? Is it ethical to create life and destroy it for another person's use? Are we at a point in society where we deserve that kind of responsibilty? I really don't think so. Good idea but its just not right

Human Cloning Positive Addition to Society

Dear Class,
Human Cloning is a very controversial issue and different people have different opinions. Human Cloning is a positive form of scientific research to advance technological development. For example, Human Cloning allows up to advance in many forms. Not only did we get the advantage to study different cloning processes and improve scientific research, but it makes it a lot easier in today’s society. Regulated cloning would extremely decrease the population’s death rate by providing organs for people. We would not have to worry about organ donors. This would put less pressure on hospitals and families. Imagine, if a person really close to you was in desperate need of a heart transplant and there was no chance of getting the organ, your heart would be crushed because you have that immense worry that you are going to loose them. But If we allow cloning, that worry is eliminated from your mind. You know your loved one is going to survive because you know there is an organ guaranteed. This eliminates stress from everyone. In Conclusion, cloning is a positive activity to our society because we all benefit from it.

The Positive Side of Human Cloning

Dear Class,

Human cloning should be used for one thing: medicine. By allowing and regulating cloning through restrictions the world would be better off. It would alleviate the stress on hospitals by providing a whole new field of research and not to mention decrease the death rate from the lack of organ donations. Through restrictions and laws, people would not be able to abuse the ability to try and live forever.

Thanks for reading.

Dear Class, Cloning ftw?

Dear Class of 9:10 MTWR

What i can say of cloning that is good is that if we do get into some sort of car accident and we end up needing, i dont know a spleen or something that would probably pretty beneficial to us. Or if the one you love needs a kindney transplant, it would be nice if they could get that kidney transplant so you can be with them once again. As for on the science side i suppose it would give us a pretty stong hand to start playing God and start doing experiments on "clones" instead of humans.

Now for the side i truly beleive in. If we do get into some sort of car accident and there is no way for us to get a spleen. Because its not in "stock" then i beleive that person should die...If your loved one needs that kidney that just wont come because your too far down that waitng list then we should be there with them until the end and learn how to let go..beleive me when i said this because ive had experience with this in real life, sadly ive had this happen on more than one occasion. This is part of growing up and fullfilling our quest of life. We shouldnt keep on trying to run away. We should accept it and try our best to move on i know how hard it is .

Students Moral Obligation to cheating.

If you catch another student cheating, i dont beleive you should judge them in any way. After all everyone who has ever been and ever will be, has in fact cheated in one way or another. Its in the human instinct to do whatever it takes to persavere. And anyone who condems another for using unsatisfactory methods in their mind to get the job done is a hypocrit and a fool =). It may be ethically wrong in most of our minds but it still stands that it is ok as long as the end result is good. After all the ends justify the means, do they not? Think about it, even though great atrocities occur everyday. They are sometimes necassary atrocities. At least in the minds of the politicians that control our world.

Would cloning be for good or bad??

It's kind of hard to explain if human cloning would be good or bad for our society. It would be good, so we could test all different diseases and find more problems and cures. It wouldn't be good because we already have a lot of people in the world, and not everything we have is available to each person. So, if we get more people in our society the original people would get less of what they already have.

Human Cloning

Dear class, 

In support of human cloning, I would say that we should only use it for the medical needs of people with diseases.  It makes life easier for people who are looking for an organ donor when they're on the brink of death.  (But then again, that would be cheating death, wouldn't it?)  I think that the people who would make use of this the most would be children.  Children are the ones that don't deserve an early death because of the fact that there weren't enough organ donations out there.  They're the ones that should have an extension to their life since they haven't been out in the world enough to know what life is really like.  Cloning is one thing that should be considered when it comes to medical needs, not the selfishness of an adult who wants to gain immortality by replacing their own organs over and over again.

Dear Class,
i support human cloning for all the benefits it would bring to society! if we had human cloning we wouldn't have to worry about organ donations because we could clone a human and always have organs on hand. this would become very useful in saving lives. human cloning would also provided scientists subjects to do research on. using real live humans could do great things for health science and could, in the future, save many lives. i believe that human cloning would be a positive thing in order to save lives and better the health of humans today! :)

Human Cloning: Disagreed and Agreed.

My teacher and fellow students,

The human body is made of different organs which make each system function in certain ways. To a person, their body is what describes their specific feature whether they have different skin color, hair, shape or size or how people feel about themselves, Human cloning shouldn’t be done because the body's identity represents them as a person. A human being was brought into life for a reason, just like how “everything happens for a reason”. Even through the toughest and easiest time, everyone has that one chance to live life the way they make it; the cloning of a Human is like bringing the dead back to life and they should be left alone because it was their time to go. Also, the clone would need to live, breathe, somehow develop feelings and go through memories like any other person. So you wouldn't want to take their lives away just so you can survive, would you?

On the other hand, Human cloning can be supportive because of random situations that occur such as unexpected deaths. If you were in a life and death situation and you needed a specific organ to replace what you've lost then that would be helpful. Helpful in a way where you can still live on living your happy life. Many people have certain roles in life especially when it comes with family, they are there for one another to support and help one another achieve their true meaning of life. Whether one can value the true meaning of life, there will always be one true identity of who they really are. So is the clone just a mirror image? Hmmm....

Moral Obligation For Cheating

www.theonion.com/content/node/52060

What moral obligation does a student have if he or she witnesses cheating? Write a PIE paragraph in response.

A students moral obligation when another student is cheating is that he or she is suppose to tell the teacher because it wouldn't be fair for the other students who actually took the time to study and ask for help to pass the test. For example, Joe took a week to study. He was very determined and tried his hardest everynight to understand the subject. Joe even made different illustrations and outlines to make it stick to his brain. Jane didn't really feel like studying or she had limited resources, but she could've asked another student for help like Joe and they could've studied together. So instead Jane goes out with her friends because she didn't want to face the tention of studying and being frustrated. The next day, the test comes and obviously it will haunt Jane since she doesn't know any of the material that is questioned to her. Joe knows most of the content so he proceeds. Jane starts to look at Joes papers and Joe tries to hide it. Should Joe tell the teacher? Of course he should but will most students tell? Most likely in my opinion no... because sometimes the "good" students who studied will feel bad at times because "bad" students might not have money to buy the materials to study or whatever that reason is. No matter what, I think you should work out your studying session with a classmate. In the long run, it will haunt you and won't feel accomplishment, you'll just see flashbacks of cheating to just "get through" graduation or that serious major.

class

human cloning is fine because it solves a lot of problems. it makes people lives easier, puts less pressure on hospitals. i can understand why people say that it is unethical but thats only one side of it. if we go into the details of what its capable of then most of us will believe its okay to clone. in the future we will need these new things to take care of the problems that we'll face so therefore human cloning is ok.

Cloning

Dear Class,
Human cloning will allow major advances in health and science to be discovered. We would have the power to replace body parts and prolong the life of soliders wounded in war or for people who were in some sort of accident. Cloning would open the door to a healthier society almost free of most of the diseases present today. Deaths due to a faliure of an organ would be unheard of and scientists would most likely understand the causes of most illness and dieseases in humans today. In all, cloning would allow our society to live longer healthier lives.

Cheating

If a student were to witness another student cheating they should keep to themselves and let the people directly involved handle the situation. For instance, if I were to witness someone cheating off another persons test, I would not do anything about it; it is the students involved and the teacher’s problem. We as students respect each other and each others decisions but, if someone were to tell on someone that was cheating the class would basically shun that person all together causing more trouble in the classroom than needed.

cloning

Dear Class,

Cloning can advance our study of life to a greater level. Imagine a world where cloning can help save lives of important researchers and people. Researchers that can further their research in finding cures for epidemic diseases and outbreaks all over the world. People wouldn't have to worry about dieing just because there isnt a cure anymore because our researchers can live longer and reach their goals. Cloning human life can mean that we won't have to say goodbye to our loved ones. We won't have to go through a grieving process when someone close to us is lost. Cloning can open our horizons even further. We can reach all corners of the universe by cloning, but with such great power may come great consequences. Cloning isn't technically ethical, but many may use its advantages to prove that point correct. Many will take over the power of being "godly" and use their power to create madness. So overall, cloning may be great to further our studies in research, but it must be used properly so its power will not be abused.

No to Human Cloning

Dear Class,

To me Human cloning is unethical and it is inhumane. I think god should be the only one creating humans. people shouldn't be messing around trying to make a copy humans. they should just leave it up to god to make humans. last night i was watching a movie called "The 6th Day" with Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was about him returning home to a clone of him self with his family, before he could find the truth a group of people try to assassinate him. I think that this is a pretty scary thing that one day you come home only to find a clone that took your place and now theres a group of people trying to hunt you down before you start spreading the word that the group of people are cloning people. i would never want to be replaced by a clone. if i died, and there was cloning, family and/or friend would just go clone another one of me, and for get about me because theres a new me. when i die i wouldn't want anther me, i want to be remembered not for gotten and replaced. i think human cloning should never be legal, and it should be completely shut down, because its in humane and unethical.

If you aint cheatting u aint tryin

Now cheating is not a ethical or right thing is anyway but im pretty sure almost everyone has done it in some form of way. (That doesnt make it right but it makes me feel better to say that). But to snitch smeone else out for cheating is not necessary. The person cheating is already hurting themselves and its not your responsibility as a student to be conserned with athoer actions. Cheating causes you to not learn and develope a habit or relying on others to do your own work. why would u go to school to not learn anything it doesnt make sense.

clones are no good

Cloning is a very good thing for science but not a good thing for mankind. The creation of life in my eyes can only be done by one person and that is god. When humans try to play god no good can come from it because as humans we are prone to messing things up. Im shure clonning would start out as a good thing but there are s very corrupt people who could hake big problems out of it. Just because you are creating life through clonning doesnt mean it is any less important than anyone elses life. So why do we feel it is right to create life and kill it so someone else can live? God decides that stuff not us, and i think it should stay that way.PEACE!

Cloning

Dear English Class.
I think cloning is absolutely ethical. I mean if it is used to save lives i think it is alright for someone to be clone for a body part or something. That way hospitals would have the trouble of having to find the right organ that matches the blood type and so on. Human anatomy is definitely a complicated thing. If cloning was practiced, it would definitely be very simple for hospitals to gut out the clone and try to preserve each organ, blood and whatever other things they need. It would not be exactly killing a human being for the person is cloned and not given birth to by a woman. So overall I believe it is ok to clone.

attack of the clones

In my opinion I think cloning should be practiced and researched a lot by scientists because it would be a miracle if one could do such things. This is good and bad in some ways. Think of what or how cloning would be used for if it got into the wrongs hangs. That could easily go wrong and it could be used for to terrorize mankind. But it would also be good for the medical industry. Lets say if someone needed a transplant but no one in the world has the same heard or body part, but if we had cloning we could take a new healthy part and clone it so it could be used in a transplant. There are really a good and a bad for this topic.

CLONin'

Dear ENG 848,

Human cloning should NOT be tolerated and should be banned. Who wouldn't want to have a second chance at life and have an "extra" just chillin' in your own closet? I know this would make me feel invincible and take my life into my own hands, just knowing if the worst case scenario happens, DEATH, I WILL live once again. But it shouldn't be like that. Let's embrace what we have and what we hold dear the first time, so the human race does NOT have to resort to human cloning for any type of reason.
If the government approves cloning, it's only a matter of time before it becomes perfected and abused. Not to mention these clones still need clothes on their back, a place to live, and food in their mouth. Who is going to pay for all of this? It's just a series of events that is going to bite us in the ass as tax payers.

Human cloning?

Dear class,
Human cloning to me wouldn't be right. I feel that it cant be trusted. Its true it would be nice to have a "backup" organ but how would we know if it would work? i think its way to risky to put something like that into your body because it could have very deadly side affects. What if your clone heart suddenly stops working? i just feel like its way to complicated to have to clone something and then experiment on it. It would take lots and lots of time and money. Humans have been living without cloning since forever. we should just keep it that way. We shouldn't waste our time and money on cloning. We have more important things to use it on. Like research to find a cure for AIDS,HIV, and Cancer etc.

Wouldn't it be nice?

Hey, imagine if your mother had a bad heart. But with the miracle of cloning, scientists could clone her a brand new one. No waiting list for heart transplants, no waiting to see if the organ will be rejected by the body. If cloning can be done, why not have a organ cloned for your body so you can live longer? With proper rules and regulations, cloning can be the biggest breakthrough for medicine ever!

ANOTHER ME?

Dear Class,

How would you feel if there was another you? (if your not already a twin) Wouldn't it be cool? I always wished I had a twin. Human cloning is something I would support only if it's needed for people who need organ transplants and such. If everyone clones oneself, then our population would double. That's a lot of people. I would say human cloning shouldn't be used for our entertainment, but to help save other people's lives. It's really hard to find an organ doner these days; no one would just disembowel their organs and give them away. Would you? But human cloning might also help us be one step closer to finding other solutions to cure diseases. It may help us understand our human race more. ANYTHINGS POSSIBLE right?

Roxanne

Human Cloning.

Human cloning is the worst thing to pursue. My point of view would be based on the idea of having to see mirror images of myself, kind of interrupting my uniqueness in society. I think some psychological effects come into play when you see a replica of yourself. Also, noting that cloning is successful but it has sideffects as well. The sideffects must be taken into account, because if cloning is at first successful the recreation of the human is "alive". Therefore, if the sideffects end up killing or some unfortunate event occurs the scientists must take complete responsibilities for conducting such experiments. This brings to light the question of murder. Is murder justifiable through human experimentation? it is not, but that is what cloning is doing in an indirect way. We are give the impression that it is for a greater good, but in reality how much sacrifice must be made in the name of science. We have seen disasterous events in the past in the name of science such as the bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki with the advancement in nuclear weaponry. Even though, cloning may not be as gruesome and merciless ass nuclear "revenge" they have same concept. All this culminates into the question do the ends justify the means? well in this case I will have to strongly say that the end does not justify the means.

You may say, that human bodies are dead already right? well, the extraction of body parts, organs, etc. is inhumane even if the body is disposed. To disect someone is to show disrespect for our human race. Scientists may defend this by saying it is in the name of this so-called science but that does not justify the right to degrade a human being. A human being, even though dead still has a name, a past, and that has contributed to society. To deprive a person of thier name is saying that they are below human and we are not equal as individuals in society. Furthermore, if this is the case and human honor diminishes I say do to to me what you have done to my fellow brothers and sisters because in my eyes we are equal and no one should be subjected to dishonor in that way.

Thats why it is vital to our society to recognize its faults and fight for our rights. In the end we should have a decision. A decision to be dishonored or honored. In my opinion, adopting dishonor is completely rediculous because you are basically blinded by the fact that your death will be vital in the progression of mankind. You'll be given the false impression of a martyr of which you are not. Do not be blinded by the dream of glory for it will only lead to nothingness and the honor which you have acheived throughout your lifetime will be disgraced.

Human Cloning

Dear Class,
Human cloning has been a major debate within our society in this generation. Times have been changing drastically and technology and science has improved our lives. Human cloning is a new science and with our technology we may be able to develop a whole new lifestyle for us if not for others. There have been countless of men, women, children, that have lived a life of pure agony because of a failure of a human organ, but with human cloning, these people can receive organs of similar characteristics and fulfill out their life without any handicaps. Through human cloning many people lives will be saved, and to not approve of this, is basically stating the death for those in need of human organs.

Our Morals!

Students basically have the moral obligation to tell or keep it to themselves. It's kind of hard to explain because telling would seem right but to me it seems like invasion of privacy because we are looking at them cheating?! But if we don't say anything, they will do good and possibly get somewhere like a doctor then not know what they are doing. So, you might just have to ask yourself the question if you would tell someone if another person is cheating? Just looking at the statistics cheating is unethical so it would be wrong basically either way you go.

moral obligation??

I think that a students moral obligation depends on the student. For me, if i witnessed someone cheating I would probably not say anything because it is none of my business. Sure, its unfair to me that they get their own help, but that's their mistake/problem. If they made a big deal about the fact that they cheated and made sure that the whole class knew that they got a good grade, I would probably say something then because it's one thing if you do it and it's done, but it's another thing if you do it and then flaunt about it after.

Cloning is a good idea

Dear class,
I believe cloning can be a good idea if handled in the right way. It could do a lot more good than it can bad. If we had the ablility to clone we would be able to save the lives of thousands who needed a new organ. Think of this, what if one of your best friends or closest family members despartely needed a new heart and the only way they would be able to survive is if they immediately had a heart transplant. If we have cloning they survive and without out cloning you just lost a close one who you could have saved. Would you mind cloning in this case? It is not like these clones are not being put to good use, we will be using them to save lives. If handled in the rigth way human cloning can save the lives of many people, maybe someone close to you.
