Does artificial human cloning call into question ethical limits? Are you one of the millions of humans who take their individuality for granted? If so, adding a replica of a loved one is no big deal. Where is it? Will human cloning be the wave of the future that will create a genetically superior human being or simply replace a deceased loved one? What would a parent pay to replace a lost child, $1,000.00, $10,000.00 or up to a million dollars, and if so, would that be justifiable, moral or even ethical? Cloning another human being by artificial means arouses speculation, fear and debate. These concerns suggest that it borders on unethical limits and is currently not safe enough for human reproduction. The causes, effects and results of making a human copy should be considered immoral, even illegal throughout the world. Before the price is negotiated for this procedure, fully understanding the theory behind cloning, how it has evolved over the years and some of the risks is vital information that is necessary before making a judgment or whether it should be considered. as unethical. Cloning Although the possibilities of human cloning have been the subject of speculation for several years, scientists and policymakers began to take the issue seriously in the 1960s, after American molecular biologist Joshua Lederberg won the Nobel Prize for peace in 1958. He discovered that bacteria can mate and exchange genes. successfully. In 1968, a major breakthrough in the development and understanding of human genes came into play when Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, and Francis Crick successfully cracked the code for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This ultimately led to further research and unlimited development. ... middle of paper ......f677dd030bedde7dAPA format by BibMe.org.Annotated bibliographyAmerican Medical Association.

This article written by the American Medical Association and involving the Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs suggests that cloning a human would not be an exact copy of the cloned person, so a parent who chooses to duplicate a super athlete is not not guaranteed to also be a superb athlete due to his life choices that could not be replicated. Additionally, what if a superathlete doesn't want to be cloned but is also forced to, this risks violating their legal rights. This article also mentions the use of human cloning and reproductive technology through the use of a woman's sterile oocyte..
