HUMAN CLONING AND THE QUESTION OF PERSONAL IDENTITY
Abstract
human cloning should only move forward with great care. We need strong laws and ethical rules to protect the rights of clones. We must remember that identity is not something that can be copied in a laboratory. It is built through life experiences, relationships, thoughts, and maybe something spiritual. Even if a clone looks just like someone else, they are not that person. They are new individuals who deserve to be loved, respected, and accepted for who they are. Society must make sure that clones are treated fairly and never used as tools. This, is, because, the real test of our humanity lies on how we treat the most vulnerable including those who are created in ways we do not fully understand. If we choose to move forward with cloning, we must do it in a way that protects human dignity and respects the value of every individual life.
