Cloning

As a member of the UCLA, I believe that it is important to support stem cell research and possibilities for cloning. It is vital to think of how these could positively affect the future, medically and culturally. Cloning could possibly help with diseases in the future, which is the biggest incentive to continue this kind of research. Obviously there are many against these research methods, but along with stem cell research and cloning, regulations will be necessary. As long as there are strict regulations that the researches stick to, there isn’t anything wrong with cloning or stem cell research. For example, the cells used should be ones that would have been disposed of otherwise. Before any actual “research” is done, there should be a committee that approves of all parts of the ‘experiment’ before it is started. Also, every scientist involved should have gone through a specific process of interviewing before being put in the research group. Each has to have had a good education and experience background, and interviewed by the committee. There will also be many safety precautions, for the subjects, scientists and more. In no way will these research methods reflect on this Christian group as portraying God, (by creating more humans) but simply to continue modern scientific discoveries with what we have learned and what is available. Even after these rules are put forth, if any of them are broken (by a scientist or other participant) there will be heavy consequences. Also, if there were to be any accidents or tragedies with any the research itself, the rules may be changed or altered.
