1. Scientific development Benefits Moral and Ethical
issues
Cloning-
The act making a copy of the
DNA of an organism.
However, the controversial
issue about this method is
whether it must be done to
humans. Which also includes
cloning human tissue like
organs.

of-cloning/
Organ replacement-
Because there’s about
thousands of people that
need to receive organ
transplant for survival,
cloning will make it possible
for the cell to be taken on
the organ and create a new
replicated kidney or heart
from the scratch. This
technique surely helps
reduces the time needed for
them to live a longer and
better life span.
Infertile couples are able
to have children- Cloning
makes it possible for you to
acquire somatic cells from
the male with female and
surrogate mother. The
nucleus in the somatic cells
are extracted and inserted
in the egg which is later
stimulated for an embryo to
be formed.

Morally some believe
that there’s no
guarantee that the first
humans are going to be
normal. This is because
the foetus may suffer
from many disorder
that may not be able to
detect by ultrasound.
They may be born
disabled which could
later materialize in
their life. I n simpler
terms the cloning
technique could take
many years off their
life.
Animal testing-
Testing animals for cosmetic
purposes example is the
rabbit for nail polish
Researchers claim that
animal testing hasn’t only
just benefitted humans
alone but also animals with
longer lifespan. Vaccines for
disease like chicken pox was
derived from the cowpox
virus used by Edward
Jenner following his
observation that farm
workers who contracted
cowpox were protected
against smallpox.

The controversy about
this method is fact that
the researcher believe
that animals and
humans are exactly the
same. An animal and a
human can never be
the same therefore, the
claim that the reaction
of a drug in animal is
the same in human is
false. The criticism
here is that some
people believe that
animal testing is
unreliable because
animals are in an
unnatural environment

2. would under stress.
Therefore wouldn’t be
able to react to the
drugs in the same way
compared to their
potential reaction in a
natural habitat.
The benefit of the test
done on animals is
never fully proven
which makes this
process a cruel one the
animals.

Embryonic stem cell-
Most embryonic stem cells
are derived from embryos
that develop from eggs that
have been fertilized in vitro

 This method helps
more cells to
replicate to create
many more stems
cells which can grow
into other types of
cells throughout the
body.
 The research also
contribute massively
to scientific
understanding of
adult stem cells;
which is basically the
knowledge being
used to research new
medical treatments
utilizing harvested
adult stem cells.

Disrespect of life: Many
people believe that any
stage of human
embryonic
development
represents nascent
human life. Therefore
the embryo is entitled
to the same respect
and
protection as living
people, and therefore,
should not be
destroyed for research.
Others also believe a
destruction of the
uterus can cause a
threat to the life of the
mother.
Abortion  Where abortion is
legal women are able
to obtain abortions
earlier in pregnancy
when health risks to
them are lowest.
 When women feel in
control of their
reproduction, it
leaves them free to
Because abortion
involves life and death
it is morally believed
that the process is not
just a matter that
concerns a human
being and their
conscience, but
something that
concerns a human

education and
careers, and to plan
their lives and
families. They
shouldn’t be
expected to sacrifice
their personal and
economic freedom to
have babies they
don't want.
