Ethics of human cloning incompatible with human life Modern science and technology, especially in modern life science and technology, you do not respect the ethical principles, we should not listen to the voice of ethics? Madman for a number of scientific experts in the United States pointed out that the secret practice of human cloning - ethics of human cloning incompatible with human life, there is a great deal of controversy and difficult to solve a series of legal and other issues. Reproduced in the media recently by many foreign media reports an alarming message: a group controlled by the cult of scientific madman, is the United States engaged in the depths of Nevada desert a secret human cloning experiment. According to the British scientist who created the world's first cloned sheep "Dolly" the same principle, in February this year, died from a 10-month-old U.S. girl who extracted cells to produce human cloning. Reportedly, the "If everything goes smoothly, then the world's first cloned human will be born end of next year." The news was leaked, cloning technology and its ethical issues brought about once again become a hot topic of discussion. If this is true, then how should look at this, how to properly evaluate and reflect on this question, this reporter visited the National Human Genome Research Center of the ethical, legal and social director of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences Institute of Philosophy, Shen Ming Yin Fellow. Professor Shen said: Since 1997, British Roslin Institute successfully cloned "Dolly" the sheep, foreign keep someone motivated by fame and fortune, raised and tried to engage in human cloning research. While governments banned, but cloning the relevant reports hit the newspapers the past two years, more than once. However, this speed so fast, but also are associated with the cult is indeed alarming. Daughter of parents who have lost hope that through cloning technology to revive her daughter, such feelings are understandable. But if scientists to conduct human cloning experiments, it is worth discussion. Professor Shen said: Even setting aside the cult, this approach is also undesirable. On "human cloning" is an individual, he will live in "I am a dead person's copy" in such a shadow, which he will produce what kind of psychological impact? In accordance with the views of bioethics, science and technology from a long-term interests for the benefit of mankind as a whole. It must follow the "do good, not harm, autonomy and justice" of these four internationally recognized ethical principles. "Dolly" sheep cloning success after 200 failures, there have been deformed or aborted sheep. The cloning of human beings are more complex will no doubt encounter more failures, if the produce unhealthy, malformation or short-lived people, would be a violation of human rights. Professor Shen pointed out: It is now the scientific community to be divided into therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning two kinds of cloning. The former is the use of embryonic stem cell cloning of human organs for medical research to address the problem of inadequate donor organ transplantation, which is the international scientific community and the ethics of community support, but there is a premise that cloning embryos for the treatment of pregnancy should not exceed 14 days of this threshold. As for reproductive cloning, that is commonly known as human cloning, since it, in general, contrary to ethical principles of life, so scientists mainstream opinion is strongly against it. UNESCO, the World Health Organization and the International Human Genome Ethics Commission and Governments are also very clear that opposition to reproductive cloning. Even if human cloning is really born, we still have to adhere to this basic position.
