Слайд 13What is cloning and clones?
Decades ago, human cloning was simply an
idea that one would expect to find in some fictitious story about the future.
It is incredible to think that now it is not only an idea but a reality.
Слайд 14What is cloning and clones?
Ever since the belief that cloning was
a possibility, it has been a major conflict in the ethical world of values.
There are many different pros and cons about the subject, and for a majority, deciding what is right and wrong.
Слайд 15What is cloning and clones?
A clone is an organism, or group
of organisms, derived another organism in a nonsexual way.
Each cloned organism, or group of organisms, is composed with the exact genetic material as the original organism(s).
Слайд 16What is cloning and clones?
Genetic material is made up of genes,
the parts of a cell that determine characteristics in living things.
Слайд 17Three strong pros that are commonly used in the great debate
over cloning include:
Cloning is a technology that would allow infertile couples to have a genetically related, child.
Cloned human embryonic stem cells have the potential to cure, or assist in the discovery of a cure, for just about any disease or disorder you can imagine, not to mention save diminishing species of animals.
Human cloning is not wrong, immoral or evil
Слайд 18
Pros for cloning
Cloning of organs allow organ transplant at any
time (no need to find donors)
Cloning specific organs or tissues allow us to study their function without having to experiment on a live person.
Слайд 19Pros for cloning
Cloning of tissues allow recovery of those with burns
Cloning of spinal cord may enable those with spinal cord injuries to be able to walk again
Burn - ожог
Слайд 20Pros for cloning
Techniques for cloning can be applied to other areas
of biological research, for example, genetics research.
If we have the technology to clone things, we can apply the technology to learn much more about biology than we currently know
Слайд 21Pros for cloning
People are reaching old age quickly and dying from
disease. Cloning could prevent this.
Our lives have become expendable because there is not enough time to do the stuff we want.
Слайд 22Pros for cloning
Cloning will enable us to live longer, thus improving
quality of our lives to the point where we're not recycling people like we do our paper.
Слайд 23Pros for cloning
Cloning people in countries where there is a decreasing
population can allow the working force to increase, thus improve the productivity of the country and strength of its economy
Слайд 25Cons
Cloning can have very serious health risks.
If a child was
a clone, he/she might grow up lacking a sense of individuality.
Слайд 26Cons
“…If, in order to have a baby, you need two parents,
information is needed from both parents, which challenges the beliefs of some of the benefits of cloning…”
(Washington post.)
Слайд 27Cons
If such a thing were to happen people would loose the
desire (and maybe even the need), for relationships, love, and emotions…
the things that connect us all to each other on a spiritual level.
Слайд 28 Cloning is not ethical
An argument against that:
What is ethics to start with?
Are you the one to define it?
We can always clone organs and tissues and do not clone the whole thing
Слайд 29Discussion:
Some government might use the technology to clone people and
make a clone army
Слайд 30Some government might use the technology to clone people and make
a clone army
An argument against that:
Are you watching too much Star Wars?
The technology to clone an entire being and clone an organ is quite different.
Besides, even if that were to happen, it would be the government's fault, not the fault of the technology.
Do we blame Eistein's E=mc^2 for nuclear bombs?
Слайд 31
Have you ever wondered whether human cloning is ethical
Слайд 32 Opinion essay
“Is human cloning
ethical”
Preparation
In order to strongly argue against cloning, there must be an understanding of its process and what exactly it is. Simply stated, a clone is a duplicate just like a photocopy.
A good example of such “copies” that occur are identical twins, which are duplicates of each other
Слайд 33Opinion
Violation of the basic quality of uniqueness, loss of genetic diversity,
not being able to know who is who,
overpopulation,
animal cruelty,
and the fact that it is morally wrong makes cloning a wrong turn in technology.
Слайд 34Opinion
Even though there may be a few positive things about cloning,
overall the cons show some serious outcomes that cloning could possibly cause in the future.
Слайд 35Human Cloning
Human cloning is such a new idea that no one
can possibly know what could come out of it.
Слайд 36Human Cloning
In the world that we live in today, there are
many issues that people disagree on.
It is what makes the world so interesting, that all people, in free societies at least, can hold their own views, and share them with others.
It is what makes our country great, the liberty to hold individual opinions and the right to free speech.
One could say that never in the history of time has any moral issue had so much attention drawn to it as with human cloning.
Слайд 37Human Cloning
If it landed in the wrong hands, whose to say
what could come of it.
The problem with cloning is that it is impossible to use the consequences of it as a way of judging its rational and moral rightness, because the consequences are completely unknown.
Слайд 38Human Cloning
One example is that human clones are not an exact
replica of the cloned individual.
If human cloning is done with all good intentions, and is recognized as a universal maxim of the world, then not many people would argue against it.
There just isn’t enough information to fully understand all that human cloning has to offer and also what catastrophes it could bring.
Слайд 39Human Cloning
Human cloning could create unforeseen problems in the future causing
a ripple effect, if you will, in the natural order of the human race.
How would a clone feel growing up know that he or she is not unique, like many people take for granted?
He or she would be a copy, not an original, a simple “photocopy” of another person
a ripple effect – волновой эффект
Слайд 40Human Cloning
The cons of human cloning lie in issues surrounding morality.
Perhaps not allowing human cloning is a great mistake that would have its own consequences, in a negative sense.
Слайд 41Human Cloning
Human cloning would take years of deliberation and certainly some
testing, to observe proper consequences, and then maybe a decision could be made.
It is possible that clones begin to take over the world and cloning becomes extreme where armies of clones destroy original human species
Слайд 42Human Cloning
One standard argument against reproductive human cloning has its historical
roots in the ethical debate over the use of in-vitro fertilisation.
Many parents have lost a baby in a fire, car accident, or other unavoidable disaster.
in vitro - в пробирке; в искусственных условиях;
Слайд 43Opinions
“Mankind is already "playing" God when we cure diseases, fly airplanes,
create nuclear energy, or use any advanced technology.”
Слайд 44Opinions
Imagine a new race of people that are docile with super
strength yet low intelligence.
Next, imagine how easily for this race to fall into slavery.
Cloning humans should be for the advancement of mankind and not the lessening of individuals.
Слайд 46Opinions
A lot of people worry that cloned people would not have
full rights, since they are just copies.
Others find this reasoning absolutely ridiculous, since a person is a person despite their genetic source or if artificial created.
Слайд 47Reasons for allowing human cloning
Selecting the most perfect genetic donor
in someone’s opinion, whether it is Albert Einstein, Michael Jordan, or some other above average person, changes the norms of society.
Imagine a world with fewer variations of people who are either super-geniuses or super-athletes.
Слайд 48Reasons for allowing human cloning
On the other hand, advances in science
and technology would grow at an even faster rate and more people would be healthier.
Слайд 49Reasons for allowing human cloning
If human cloning is completely
banned, then this type of research would be stopped and a lot of lives would be lost.
Therefore, this type of human cloning should also be allowed.
Слайд 50Discussion: Cloning is not ethical
Слайд 51We will work in two groups.
Group 1 is for cloning.
Слайд 52The leader of the first group will be….
The leader of
the second group will be … .
The leaders will organize the discussion of the arguments we have already discussed and at the end you’ll vote and make a conclusion.
Слайд 53Choose the secretaries who will write all the arguments and then
sum them up
Please, discuss for 10 min your arguments using the arguments discussed at the previous lesson
Слайд 54Now let’s have a little discussion.
Group 2
Group 1

Слайд 57Conclusion
Group 1 FOR
In conclusion I should say, human
cloning is a real breakthrough in modern science as it gives new opportunities in medicine. It is able to make people forget about such dangerous diseases as cancer and AIDs forever. A lot of families will become happier having children they couldn’t have before. It is impossible to predict all other positive changes we’ll get in future with the help of gene engineering.
