Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements

 

 

It has been long understood that one’s genetic make-up not only shapes who we are, but serves as a chief factor in determining our future health status. Now days, clients can undergo genetic screening which is the “examination of the genetic constitution of an individual – whether a fetus, a young child ot mature adult – in search of clues to the likelihood that this person will develop or transmit a heritable defect or disease” (Suzuki & Knudson, 1990). As with genetic screening, the same genetic material can be used to clone living subjects. After all, we’ve cloned a number of mammals over the years. There is no real technical reason why we can’t clone humans. There are only minor technical obstacles to overcome to achieve human cloning. All that’s really needed is a substantial sum of money and for most countries a change in the law and societal values. Despite the moral and ethics considers, there are a number of women who are eager to give birth to a cloned version of a deceased child. What do you perceive the pros and cons associated with genetic screening and cloning? Just because we could, does that mean we should? What ethical guidelines might you suggest for genetic screening and cloning of human subjects?
