Cloning

Human cloning has been a major topic around the world for the past couple of years. Scientists all over the world are in a race to clone the first living, breathing, human being. There are a few laws concerning cloning in Canada, however there must be new laws implemented to assure that cloning is controlled here in this country. People come to Canada to do extensive research on cloning because there are no laws on what kind of research can be done. Cloning techniques can change medical science forever, changing the way people look at healing certain illnesses, but there could be negative affects to this like creating new viruses or biowarfare. Once cloning is perfected, there will be a huge multi million dollar business up for grabs, laws for this is needed to prevent genetic discrimination by anyone from employers to insurance policies. Moral and ethical issues have arisen from cloning, such as “rising” loved ones from the dead. Countries all around the world are debating wither or not to allow or ban human embryo cloning. Nevertheless scientists have been trying to clone humans for many years now and are close to actually doing it.

In 1997 scientist were able to clone a sheep named Dolly, this was not the beginning of cl

My faith tells me that our relationships-with each other and with God-are the most important dimension of life, and that love is the supreme ethic that ought to govern those relationships. What does this genetic revolution do to our relationships? To the extent that it helps infertile couples to have children or prevents parents from passing on inheritable diseases to their children, surely it is to be supported and encouraged. But if it encourages man to play God or reduces human reproduction to a technological process to be carried out in a laboratory or a factory-surely those dimensions should be constrained”

A virus that kills every one of it’s victims by wiping out part of their immune system, has been accidentally created by an Australian research team. The fearsome virus, a modified mousepox, does not affect humans, but it is closely related to smallpox, rising fears the technology could be used in biowarfare.

This is one of the few industrialized countries, perhaps the only major one, that has no laws or regulations to cover the new genetic and reproductive technologies that science has made possible. Any use of the new techniques is technically permitted in Canada, because nothing has been legally prohibited.

Mr Manning explains how there should be some kind of control over this kind of technology, and one day their probably will be some kind of order when this technology is perfected. As of right now it’s still up in the air and scientist and ethicists can debate until cloning research is perfected.

Scientists come to Canada to do the kinds of research that are banned in other countries, so Canada has to implement laws to control what kind of research can be done. When cloning is finally achieved medical science will be improved and Canada will have to take steps to assure any kind of bio-weaponry can�
