Editor's Notes
- Science has discovered a lot of new discoveries throughout time, some of which gave rise to moral issues.Cloning is one of those discoveries and this is one of the topics that our group would discuss.
- -process of creating an organism with similar genetic setup as the original organism-term originated from Greek Word “klon” -”twig” -process used for planting a new plant from a twig

- Cloning has different types which differs based on its uses or its processes.•DNA cloning is also called recombinant DNA technology, or gene cloning. DNA cloning refers to the transfer of a fragment of DNA to a self-replicating genetic element. The DNA is then reproduced in a foreign host. Scientists can produce multiple copies of a gene using DNA recombinant technology. This type of cloning has been in use since the 1970s.
- •Reproductive cloning is a method of cloning that produces a whole creature, such as Dolly the cloned sheep. In reproductive cloning, genetic material is transferred from the nucleus of a donor cell to an egg in which the genetic material has been removed. Once the egg reaches a viable stage, it is implanted in the uterus of female host. Clones created in this manner are not exact replicas since only the nuclear DNA is the same as the donor.
- •Therapeutic cloning produces human embryos used in research. Stem cells are harvested from the embryos to aid in treating disease. Stem cells can be used to develop any type of cell needed for the human body. Stem-cell research has been a topic of controversy due to the fact that harvesting of the stem cells destroys the embryo.
- WHY CLONE?Research advances over the past decade have told us that, with a little work, we humans can clone just about anything we want, from frogs to monkeys and probably even ourselves!So, we can clone things, but why would we want to? Let's look at some of the reasons people give to justify cloning.
- Of all the reasons, cloning for medical purposes has the most potential to benefit large numbers of people. How might cloning be used in medicine?
- Much of what researchers learn about human disease comes from studying animal models such as mice. Often, animal models are genetically engineered to carry disease-causing mutations in their genes. Creating these transgenic animals is a time-intensive process that requires trial-and-error and several generations of breeding. Cloning technologies might reduce the time needed to make a transgenic animal model, and the result would be a population of genetically identical animals for study.
- Stem cells are the body's building blocks, responsible for developing, maintaining and repairing the body throughout life. As a result, they might be used to repair damaged or diseased organs and tissues. Researchers are currently looking toward cloning as a way to create genetically defined human stem cells for research and medical purposes. To see how this is done, see Creating Stem Cells for Research, a component of the Stem Cells in the Spotlight module.
- Farm animals such as cows, sheep and goats are currently being genetically engineered to produce drugs or proteins that are useful in medicine. Just like creating animal models of disease, cloning might be a faster way to produce large herds of genetically engineered animals.
- Have you seen Jurassic Park? In this feature film, scientists use DNA preserved for tens of millions of years to clone dinosaurs. They find trouble, however, when they realize that the cloned creatures are smarter and fiercer than expected.Could we really clone dinosaurs?In theory? Yes. What would you need to do this? A well-preserved source of DNA from the extinct dinosaur, and A closely related species, currently living, that could serve as a surrogate motherIn reality? Probably not. It's not likely that dinosaur DNA could survive undamaged for such a long time. However, scientists have tried to clone species that became extinct more recently, using DNA from well-preserved tissue samples. For an example, see "Can we really clone endangered or extinct animals?" on the right side of this page.
- No joke! If you really wanted to, and if you had enough money, you could clone your beloved family cat. At least one biotechnology company in the United States offers cat cloning services for the privileged and bereaved, and they are now working to clone dogs. But don't assume that your cloned kitty will be exactly the same as the one you know and love. Why not? See Cloning Myths.
- To clone or not to clone: that is the question. The prospect of cloning humans is highly controversial and raises a number of ethical, legal and social challenges that need to be considered. Why would anyone want to clone humans? Some reasons include: To help infertile couples have childrenTo replace a deceased child
- Science has discovered a lot of new discoveries throughout time, some of which gave rise to moral issues.Cloning is one of those discoveries and this is one of the topics that our group would discuss.
- Even without the application of religion, Cloning is already encountering ethical issues.Scientifical ethical concerns about whether an action is “right” or “wrong” are often clouded by subjectivity, emotion, and perspective.Cloning members of an endangered species, for example, is generally regarded as a positive application of the technology, whereas attempting to clone an extinct woolly mammoth from preserved tissues elicits more negative responses, including that this interferes with nature.
- Bioethics - concerned with rights of individuals such as the right to privacy and right to make informed medical decisions. It is difficult to see how these issues would apply to cloning, unless someone was forced or paid to provide material for the procedure, or if an individual was cloned and not informed of his or her origin. -information is supposed to be freely given to those who would like to avail of one
- A legislation during the US house of representatives sought to ban all human cloning. This includes both “reproductive cloning” that can be used to create a baby, and “therapeutic cloning” that are used for treatments.Due to the bill’s ban on human cloning, any scientist caught producing or selling any embryo produced by human cloningCould expect a fine of up 1 million dollars or ten years in prison.Proposals to exempt therapeutic cloning were defeated.
- Science has discovered a lot of new discoveries throughout time, some of which gave rise to moral issues.Cloning is one of those discoveries and this is one of the topics that our group would discuss.
- Christian Roman Catholicism and many conservative Christian groups have opposed human cloning and the cloning of human embryos, since they believe that life begins at the moment of conception and soul gets into body only this way. Christian, however, feel that we have no right to play the role of God, because He is the only one Creator and act of creation depends on Him.
- Cloning specific parts of the human body for purposes of medical treatment is not prohibited in Islam, but to clone the whole human body would not be permitted under any circumstances. However, if it goes into cloning only specific parts of the human body such as heart and kidneys, for the purpose of treatment, this is permitted and actually recommended and rewarded by Allah.
- Judaism does not equate life with conception and, though some question the wisdom of cloning, Orthodox rabbis generally find no firm reason in Jewish law and ethics to object to cloning. Liberal Jewish thinkers have cautioned against cloning, among other genetic engineering efforts, though some eye the potential medical advantages.
- Ronald Y. Nakasone, a Buddhist priest and Professor of Buddhist Art and Culture at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California stated, "The Buddhist response to the possibility of cloning human beings is not if, but when . . . Would we accord a cloned person the benefits enjoyed by those who are born naturally? I would hope so." Buddhists even believe in the natural order of the world and to clone humans would be violating that rule.
- This concludes the first part of our report.
- The next topic would be about Human Trafficking.
- Human trafficking refers to any method wherein humans are traded in any way.
- The next topic would be about the types of acts of Human Trafficking.
- What are the legal stands on Human trafficking?
- Article 3, paragraph (a) of the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons defines Trafficking in Persons as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs
- What are the elements of Morality involved in Human Trafficking?
- With the definition set by law, here are the elements of Human trafficking.
- What are the stands of Religions on Human trafficking?
- "The trade in human persons constitutes a shocking offense against human dignity and grave violation of fundamental human rights. Already the Second Vatican Council had pointed to 'slavery, prostitution, the selling of women and children, and disgraceful working conditions where people are treated as instruments of gain rather than free and responsible persons' as 'infamies' which 'poison human society, debase their perpetrators' and constitute 'a supreme dishonor to the Creator.”
- While Muslims in these countries may engage in the crime of trafficking, Islam’s position on this topic is clear. Even though human trafficking is not explicitly prohibited in Islam, there are many aspects of it that are clearly forbidden in the faith. (Combating Trafficking in Persons in Accordance with the Principles of Islamic Law)
- Practice of Jubilee required the release of Hebrew slaves by their owners, as well as the cancellation of all debts, every seventh year. It was the Prophet Isaiah who declared that God had sent him to "proclaim freedom for the captives." Two Jewish sects, the Essenes and the Therapeutae, were actually abolitionists. The Essenes condemned slavery and all forms of servility and required everyone they associated with to free their slaves. The Therapeutae declared slavery to be unnatural.
- The Buddhist belief in karma and reincarnation has been used in the past to justify slavery, the logic being that a person's enslavement must be a result of punishable actions in a previous life. But in other cases, Buddhist temples have served as safe-havens for escaped slaves. And the Chinese Emperor Wang Mang, a Buddhist, may have been history's first powerful abolitionist, outlawing the slave trade in the year 9 A.D.The eight-fold path of Buddhist beliefs explicitly teaches against the trade in living beings. According to Buddha's "Discourse to Sigala" in the SigalovadaSutta, an employer should care for workers by assigning work according to ability, paying just wages, providing health care, providing perks and granting leave time. While the Buddha did not directly address slavery in this Sutta, it is impossible to imagine slavery surviving in any area where these teachings are followed.
