I will discuss very
contemporary arguments, such as DNA technology and baby designing. With the
science knowledge progressing and becoming almost ‘scary’, there obviously have
been problems on the ethical side, especially in cases that concern human
beings, but not only. In this case especially, people affected are children.
Obviously not only, because there are many points of view. I will talk about
cloning, that in fact could be applied either on humans and on animals; humans,
such as great athletes, soldiers, very good looking people, or especially
intelligent ones. Animals like ways too. DNA technology, first of all; what is
it? DNA is something every living thing has inside their bodies, inside their
chromosomes. This determines how you are characterally, which family you come
from, what you look like and many other things that differ you from others. For
example: sisters, brothers, mother and father with son and daughter will have
quite the same DNA,
especially twins. Everyone therefore has his or her own DNA, plants too, what if we
started mixing DNA, copying it: cloning living things? It is a very delicate
argument as it has pro’s and against, which I am going to discuss. In a few
years science would be now able to have quite what we think complicate
exchanges with DNA; they could determine what a baby is going to look like,
superficially or rather a more important issue is they could clone organs,
blood cells, that are sane and give them to people with serious diseases to
prevent death, therefore no more transplants would be necessary and much more
less people would die from these diseases. Which means that in a way it would
be good but not in an other. In conclusion I think it should be approved if
needed to cure diseases or any sort of deformation in embryos or people anyway
and should not if only used for ‘superficial’, I think, reasons as baby
designing. Because it should be used with careful attention, DNA is obviously
not a joke and should be treated seriously.
