Do Scientists Know How to Clone Humans?
Cloning people is no longer a dream in science fiction, but a reality that is ready to come out. At present, three foreign organizations have officially announced that they will conduct human cloning experiments. Professor Zavos of the University of Kentucky in the United States is working with an Italian expert named Antinoli to plan to clone a person within two years. Due to the complex consequences of human cloning, some countries with advanced biotechnologies now adopt an explicit prohibition or strict restriction. China has also explicitly stated its opposition to the study of human cloning, but advocated a distinction between cloning technology and human cloning. Science has always been a double-edged sword. Cloning technology may indeed be as good as atomic technology. But the essence of "technology fear" is the fear of misusing technology, not the technology itself. Clones can only be copied by genetic characteristics.
Clone
(Humans bred by cloning)
- At the beginning of the last century,
- Theoretically, the first benefit of human cloning is that infertile patients who are very distressed without children can have their own children. Second, such cloning uses only the sperm and eggs of the husband and wife, which avoids ethical and psychological shadows. In addition, cloning can also save endangered animals, maintain a reasonable gender balance in the population, and protect the genetic heritage of ethnic minorities.
- Now cloning technology can only clone
- Humans are social, as are clones. Parents who want a clone will no doubt want a child who is independent. However, due to the special background of the cloned man, his health cannot be guaranteed. Due to the inherent problems of health and immunity, the cloned person is susceptible to infectious diseases and mental illnesses. All these have caused his health to be infringed upon, and this infringement is entirely artificial. Due to illness, it is naturally difficult for ordinary people around to accept clones. How can a clone who cannot integrate into society realize the value of a normal person? What is the value of this research if the cloned people do not even have the happiness that ordinary people should enjoy, and even the level that ordinary people cannot be recognized by society? Doesn't such a child worry parents more? How can a clone who has not been recognized by society be respected for his right to personality and honor?
- The cloned human also experienced life from one to two cells, and then grew according to the geometric progression of the cell. Therefore, it can also be considered that the cloned human and the cloned human are the parent and offspring. From the perspective of the fertility process, the cloned human can also be considered as the child of the cloned person, as it has undergone the procedures and processes of maternal uterine development and final delivery.
- On the other hand, from the perspective of sociology and folklore, as long as the society agrees that the relationship between clones and cloned people should be treated as such, it is better to call them siblings and brothers, or to call them parents and offspring, not yes What a big ethical question. Moreover, ethics changes with social changes. The past three and four virtues were the old ethics of oppression of women, and now they are changed. In the past, artificial insemination, social ethics were not accepted, and now they are also accepted, indicating that ethics are not two major issues.
- What you said is of course reasonable, otherwise it is difficult to explain why most countries ban human cloning, especially when extinction has occurred
- Clones have
- The subject regulated by the law is divided into a real subject and a virtual subject. There are several virtual subjects, such as countries, international organizations, corporate legal persons, political parties, etc., and only one real subject is a natural person or a citizen. In a world with only one real subject type, the intricacies of injustice and injustice are already emerging. Imagine that if there is a human clone, this means that another real subject appears in the world, two real subject types, the world. It will certainly lead to more chaos.
- The study of human cloning does not lead to advances in human value. The value of man is not in his physical condition,
- The process of human cloning has serious harm to the life and health of human cloning, which is against the spirit of the Constitution and criminal law. As far as our country is concerned, the country implements family planning and human natural production is in the limit. Why should we conduct another experiment in population production? What's more, China's population has a strong natural reproduction capability, and there is absolutely no need to create a population through cloning. Therefore, the study of human cloning in our country is against the practice of the Family Planning Law.
- From
- First, blood-related fertility constitutes social structure and social relations. Why almost all countries and races oppose cloning, because this is another
- Organ traffickers can be extinct
- Using cloning to create the necessary tissue cells to rescue an endangered organ in the body is a great thing in my opinion. In medical terms, organ transplants are still a big problem until today. So many people lose their hope for life every year because they ca nt wait for their donors. On the other hand, sinful organ trades continue to operate in secret. Some international criminal groups Utilizing this disparate supply and demand relationship of human organs makes a huge amount of dirty money, and traffickers, killers, baby thefts, smuggling, etc. do everything. A while ago, it was reported that a "grandma wolf" from a certain country gave pro-grandchildren to organ dealers, which was creepy.
- Cloning human embryos can indeed obtain cells, tissues and even organs that fit the patient perfectly. This is definitely a gospel for leukemia, Parkinson's disease, heart disease and cancer patients struggling on the death line. But once the cloned human embryo is released, who can guarantee that it will only be used for treatment and rescue? Think about it, some of the drugs we hate now are not used as medical
- An American expert said that whether you believe or doubt, whether you support or disagree, next year, "the cloned Pandora's box will be opened". What comes out of that box is either surprise or bad news, human beings. Can only be accepted but not prevented. In this sense, 2002 was really an "International Year of Human Cloning".
- In 2002, a topic that made scientists all over the world nervous and excited was: Can humans clone themselves?
- The evolution of life is a long and long history. I don't know how many years have passed before the survival of the fittest. Imagine: as long as you do it in the laboratory, there is no need to wait for thousands of years, the product you also call "human" will be ready to come out immediately. Do you also have to be a god? feel?
- So no wonder all the scientists felt a sweat in their hands when they heard the newssomeone was shocked by this, and some were excited by it.
- The most excited are three people. The international scientific community calls them "Clones
- The disadvantages of human cloning are endless. The first is technical imperfection. Many countries have successfully mastered animal cloning technology, but the success rate is only about 2%, and once the operation is wrong, the cloned animal is likely to have congenital disability or even premature death. For example, the world's first cloned sheep Dolly was found to have the phenomenon of premature aging. Assuming the existence of clones, the life span of clones is generally lower than that of ordinary people, and IQ and physical strength are also defective. Therefore, it is "very inhumane" to apply this extremely immature technology to human beings. If the cloned person has a physical defect, the cloner cannot escape blame.
- Secondly, the emergence of human clones has brought a huge impact on human existence. What impact will human cloning have on humans who have naturally evolved over several generations? Will it interfere with or block the future evolution of humans and endanger human existence? Is the cloned person a human or a product made by humans? Should it have the same social rights and obligations as normal people? In addition, how should humans treat the "defectives" that have been cloned? The most terrifying thing is that once the population can be reproduced in batches in the laboratory, is there any way in the world to restrain them and control them? Will the existing laws and institutions of human society be completely subverted?
- Just thinking about it can be chilling. But why are so many people still eager to take the risk? After all, we still see a huge market for cloning technology. How big is this market? No one dares to estimate, and no one can estimate it.
- Most scientists believe that cloning technology should be widely used in the field of human medicine, because it can play a role no other technology can overcome in terms of overcoming hereditary diseases and organ transplants, and it can save thousands of people. Precious life. At present, many countries have clearly stated their support for the research of "therapeutic cloning" technology, hoping that this technology will eventually benefit humanity.
- However, "reproductive cloning" is opposed by most countries. Reproductive cloning has been banned in more than 20 countries around the world. The United Kingdom passed the clone ban late last year, becoming the first country in the world to legally ban clones. The United States has also passed a bill to make cloning research illegal. In Antinori's home country, Italy, there have been constant calls against the study of clones. Discussions on the development of international law banning clonal research are ongoing. [Note: The United Nations Sixth (Law) Committee proposed the idea of establishing an international law as early as 2005, but because countries are basically opposed to reproductive cloning, they are very different in terms of therapeutic cloning. So in the end they gave up enacting international law and settled for the second and let member states vote on the political declaration. [4]
- What will happen, people are waiting to see. Hopefully, Antinori is making a joke with the world this time. But if he is not joking, then he is challenging the whole world. How to face this challenge? Is the world ready? [5]
