Outline
To do or not to do? Why we have not cloned human yet?
I try to find answers, what are possibilities of cloning, shoud it be allowed or not? And in what extent we can „play god“?
Thus, allowed or not? Patrly I support cloning, because it would help to make essential next step for science of medicine. Human cloning should not be major aspect of this discipline, but I endore therapeutic cloning to find a cure to an incurable diseases nowdays as Alzheimer's, cancer, and other diseases.
Introduction.
Ideas of cloning?
How far are roots of idea to make artificial intellect?
What is cloning and different types of cloning?
People usually have imagination that cloning is like copying of paper with copying machine and only possibilty of cloning are whole individual. Unknowing real course of events and different types of cloning.
What are the risks of cloning and results currently?
For now, there are many organisms which has been already cloned, like tadpole, sheep, goats, cows, mice, pigs, cats, rabbits, and a gaur. But to reach current results, the scientists has failed several times.
Most common fears (and comments) and are they justified?
Kilner said: "To subject human beings to cloning is not taking an unknown risk, it's knowingly harming people,"
[John Kilner, president of the Centre for Bioethics and Human Dignity in the United States]
