Biomedical Ethics | Cloning Research Would Not Benefit Humans
Kevin T. Fitzgerald argues in the following viewpoint that human cloning research should be banned as it would be of no benefit. Human cloning is too risky for its human subjects; it will not replace a dead or dying child, nor will it ease the pressure of reproductive choices, he contends. Furthermore, Fitzgerald asserts that cloning humans for their organs is manipulative and diminishes the value of a human being. Fitzgerald is a research professor in molecular genetics at Loyola University’s Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center in Chicago.
