Public Discourse Prospectus:Human Cloning

I will argue that in the age of great scientific breakthroughs and rapidly advancing technology, human cloning should be severely restricted or banned. Human cloning is unethical and will create more problems for society, which we are clearly not prepared for. Human cloning defies faith and the Christian religion making man “manmade” not created by the hands of God. Human cloning has no clear purpose rather than the ability to say, “Man can make man.” This issue should be addressed right now because scientists at universities such as Harvard are already doing research with funding from private investors. This needs to stop and society must be aware of the dangers and the morality of cloning. I will write this paper as an academic essay or article to identify with college students who will be greatly impacted by cloning in the future. It is important for the future generations to be aware of this issue so they can make a logical decision about protecting the public’s faith and ideals. Because I am addressing a scientific issue, I will use statistics collected by CNN and other organizations concerning how people feel towards human cloning. I will also uses different articles and scientific research to support the cloning theories and the major issue at hand. To add to the political side of the issue I will gather information from both sides of the argument by looking into different groups/affiliations who are involved and take a stand on human cloning. In order to persuade my audience, college students, my research must be interesting and legitimate.
