I have heard cloning opponents claim that human
cloning is against "God's will" and undermines
human dignity. I am undecided about cloning whole
humans. I am, however, for some human cloning
research because I am for saving human lives and
human dignity.
A women where I work has weak kidneys. To
continue living, she must have kidney dialysis at
least twice a week. The inside of her one arm is
frequently covered with dark bruises from the
needle. If human cloning research continues,
someday doctors will be able to take her DNA and
clone her a new set of kidneys and transplant them
into her body.
I ask two questions:
1. Does God want this woman (and thousands in
similar conditions) to die from kidney failure?
2. Is weekly dialysis more dignified than
getting a new set kidneys?
I answer "no" to both questions.
And how many parents would be against human
cloning saving the life of their child? Some human
cloning saves human lives and human dignity.
