Throughout the mesh of western s ciety's current events arise various issues c using concern surrounding a range of v nues of our culture. This idea is xemplified when examining the matter of cl ning. The issue of cloning has r ised concern from various organizations throughout the w stern world, and has become a m jor topic politically, scientifically and medically, as w ll as morally and ethically. Stereotypically th se on the scientific side boast the b nefits of cloning, while much negative c ncern is radiated from those considering the m ral and ethical aspects of the pr cess. This is turn creates much p litical static, as legislation and government b cking is vital for either side of the ssue to get their way. Clearly the b nefits of cloning far outweigh any n gative results. It is clear that wh n examining the issue logically the b nefits of cloning on our society as a wh le greatly outweigh any negative moral nd/or ethically implications that may be ttached. Once carefully examining one's own deas, as well as those of thers, it will become evident that the st dy and research of cloning is mperative to the forward movement of b th scientific knowledge, and medicine. Many of the pponents of cloning bring up the ssue of medical ethics when arguing gainst its scientific pursuance. On the s rface the points made by such p rsons and organizations seem valid, as th y are based on general morals and typ cal western religions, which implicate common thics that most could relate to. D spite this, one most realize the t me and culture we are living in - one th t is as great and advanced as it - has b en largely shaped due to the p rsuance and discovery of scientific truths and kn wledge. I assert that these traditional m ral bases actually counterpoint proper social thics and medical conduct.
Although the point discussed clearly c ntains much validity towards the proposition of cl ning, close-minded opponents may then jump to the xtreme of a lack of morals and the n gative effects that would follow. Considering th s, one must understand that moral str cture and medical ethics are actually b ing pushed forward through the research of cl ning, rather than being curtailed or d stroyed. Admitting, cloning deals with DNA (D oxyribonucleic acid), as well as the cr ation and copying of biological materials. At th s point the controversy becomes one of p rsonhood and ensoulment. The religious position th t contends the arrival of a s ul at conception would face discrepancies in rithmetic as genetic material is combined, sl ced, and copied in the laboratory. Th s in itself is considered throughout sc entific communities to be the essence of b ological life. Moral and ethical issues nevitably arise due to this fact. As sc entific knowledge and research is largely b sed on experimentation the fact that m stakes will happen and that 'life' w ll be wasted is a major p ssibility. This idea, being the cloning pponent's main point, is one that is g ven very little budge. Although being a v lid and very serious point, it b comes more important to look at the big p cture of the issue and realize th t more lives will saved then w sted. Also the 'life' being wasted is b rely life, but rather its building bl cks. The cluster of cells that w uld be 'wasted,' contains no nervous or c gnitive system capable of experience. Historically, the C tholic Church did not consider conception as the p int of ensoulment, but actually a few w eks subsequent. Ethically, this is a cl ar decision (consider the possibility of cl ning techniques being able to heal a y ung girl with ninety percent of her b dy burned). The knowledge and medical dvances that would be obtained through s ch science is clearly invaluable to our c lture's advancement.
The concern of cloning has c used alarm from an assortment of ssociations throughout our society, and has b come a major topic politically, scientifically and m dically, as well as morally and thically. Through careful examination of the ssue rationally the benefits of cloning r search and study outweigh any negative m ral and/or ethically repercussions that may go long with it. In fact it c uld be convincibly argued that negative r percussions are virtually and practically non-existent. Our c lture is one where knowledge equals p wer and the results of scientific r search and knowledge can be quickly d stributed and positively affects us all in the l ng run. The knowledge and medical dvances that would be obtained through s ch science is clearly invaluable to our c lture's advancement.
