Cloning Fallacies • Genetic make-up is altered • Mutants are created • Clones are unhealthy • Will eventually lead to cloning humans • Possible to recreate people such as Hitler
Should cloning be legalized? YES! NO!
Benefits of Cloning • Cure diseases • Create animals that are disease resistant • More consistent food products • Save endangered species • Helps infertile couples
Disadvantages of Cloning • An Immoral Practice • Not efficient • All livings have a ‘right-to-life’. We should not create life to kill it • Rich would benefit, cloning would only be available to them • Superior, genetically altered race vs. normal, natural race “Respect life, all human life” John Paul II
