Those who are in favor of human cloning argue that cloning could work miracles and improve people’s lives. Infertile couples wishing to have a baby could increase their chances of pregnancy; diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer could be cured by using stem cells harvested from cloned human embryos; or it may even be possible to clone a loved one that has been lost to us. Those who oppose human cloning fear the ethical and moral questions that will have to be answered, and how the technology will be used.
Imagine that a bill has just come up in the U.S. Senate that would allow the use of taxpayer money to fund both therapeutic and reproductive cloning research of all animals including humans. Write a letter to your senator expressing your approval or disapproval of this subject.
