LA-E+ Con+Human+Cloning

​ Hello grade 7 students. Welcome to your first wiki assignment!

Each student is part of a pro and con debating team for the question "Should humans be cloned?" You will be using this wiki to share your notes, questions and discussions with your team members. This will be a way to organize yourselves, to consolidate your findings, and to build stronger arguments. You may see the pages of other team members if you wish. This is a good thing as it will be necessary to prepare yourselves for the opposition's arguments. Feel free to read each other's notes, however, please ONLY EDIT THE PAGES OF YOUR OWN TEAM. 

Please remember to be respectful of other's opinions and other's work.

 State your name at the start of your notes. P ick a font color to differentiate yourself form other students. Find ONE reliable website and take notes on the information. Enter your cloning notes on this page. Share main ideas and facts. These should be in YOUR OWN WORDS . No plagiarism! Cite the source : website address, author, organization, dates. Write a couple of sentences explaining why this site is reliable. EACH TEAM MEMBER MUST FIND A DIFFERENT WEBSITE.  You may begin a discussion by clicking on the discussion tab. You may also upload relevant videos. 

Grade: notes - 5 points, reliability - 5 points, citation - 5 points..

Full speed ahead!

"Should humans be cloned?" I believe human cloning should not be allowed if it leads to: · Making people want to be immortal because this is not possible. The clone is a different person, like identical twins that have identical DNA but are not identical people. · Conceiving life as one more industrial product, · Making society more race conscious, further marginalizing minorities. · Injuring sentient beings, while destroying human embryos. · Disrupting created order and balance in nature. · Commercialization of DNA, · Babies being “produce as spare parts". · Abuse by duplicating individuals of exceptional talent, beauty, health. · Attempt against dignity of the human embryo and of human sexuality. · Genetic manipulation where DNA is arbitrary //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">fixated //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;"> in contrast to what happens in nature. · Perversion of relationships of the human person: filiations, consanguinity, kinship, parenthood. · Replacing human sexuality with a process similar to asexual reproduction of the least evolved organisms. · Producing suffering to a human being because his identity is jeopardized by the presence of his "other". · Violating human rights like the principle of equality among human beings and the principle of non-discrimination! <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #00ff00; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"> Luis: [] <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #00ff00; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">Is a good web site is made by a corporation called ©2009 Associated Content, Inc.

He has been learning scientists journalism. http://www.illinoisrighttolife.org/2002_2_CloningIsBadScience.htm Joseph: www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/elsi/cloning.shtml#intro Reproductive cloning is bad for two reasons: "practical and ethical." On the practical side, cloning mammals is very expensive and doesn't work very well. Only one out of one hundred clones actually survives. On the ethical side, many clones have serious problems. Scientists don't understand why, but manny clones have bad problems like being too big, easily getting infections or their DNA does not work right. They could suffer a lot. This source is reliable because it is a science organization run by the U.S. government. The people who wrote it were part of the "Human Genome Project". Also, why would you have another person the same as his source if you already have him?
 * cloning is bad because: In religious way we attempt god`s creation, we need to live like normal human creations.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #00ff00; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">If bad people like ``the z`` they are a very powerfull group of drug dealers if they clone they would de more of them and mor terorism would de and the police can`t control them.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #00ff00; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">This would cost a lot of money, so only rich people would use it for theire good, and bad purposes.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #00ff00; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">we have inof people in the world why we want more people we are over populated
 * human cloning will upset the natural balance of ecology
 * they would have the problem of people not dying
 * this would lid to overpopulate, over-consumption,finishing of resources
 * some people might cloned just for their body parts and would murder them only for that.

Roberto: Cloning should not be done because:
 * There is a death risk on cloning. It is not so sure someone will survive.
 * 30% of the mammals cloned, have the "large offspring syndrome" and almost the rest of them die.
 * The same syndrome would possibly happen to a human.
 * Cloning is expensive and highly inefficient.
 * Cloning has only worked one time and the other times, the mammal dies or gets the "large offspring syndrome".
 * []: I trust this page becasue the author has lots of awards of science, the page has lots of sponsors (sponsors are important because it gives money to help on gathering information and companies won't give money to help on false information), and the popularity shows that lots of people trusts this page. And the page was modyfied on May 11th, 2009.
 * Cloning is totally unusefull, why would people want to clone? What are the benefits of cloning?
 * Animal cloning has been highly scrutinized.
 * Only Dolly (the cloned sheep) has survived in the large quantity of times tried.
 * Lots of animals have died because they have been cloned and the cloning failed. Cloning is not good for animals. I think it is a waste of time.
 * []: I trust this page because the information seems to be true by the words the author says and it sounds as if he knew what he was saying. The only bad thing is that it was modyfied in 2007.

Noah: the creator of dolly said and he is pro i believe i think it will be immoral or dumb to do it at least not now We were very worried. We had one chance, one lamb, and previous experiments showed that the chances of having a healthy lamb were very small. [] I got this from the same website I thought it was important, it is stiil what the creator of dolly said: It's a different way to begin separating out nature and nurture, and to see how different this boy would be. But I have many times been asked if my children have followed me into research — it's something people subconsciously expect. For a clone, the pressure would be even greater. People would expect the clone to be like the original, and put expectations and limitations on them, and that's the reason why I don't like to use that technique. I think people should be wanted as individuals. one huge reason for trying to clone them selves would **be for speare parts which seams unfair to the clone and look at this videos. [] i think it will also be bad because people will then be like i want a child with this caracteristics and it will be like the holocaust evryone will be like you are not "perfect". the majority of animals that have been cloned either dye in the womb or when they are borned normally is something with the heart or loungs http://www.deepscience.com/articles/cloning.html outline: i don't have anything against animal cloning it is against human cloning (that is the rebuttle against "animal cloning can save endangered spcies) it will be unethical clones would most likly (based on other mamal cloning expirience) get sick and die becuse of many deforming problems caused by cloning.** Opening speech: Bruno Rebuttals: Roberto, Joseph, Luis Noah Closing speech: Fabio,Noah

 * Say the dangers of cloning for example, sicknesses, deaths, and, too much population
 * Say the disadvantages of cloning for example, expensive, useless, and almost never works
 * Cloning is against natural mammal reproduction
 * Resources are going to go down because it is going to be used up by the over populated mammals
 * Cloning affects the christians by attempting God's creation
 * If there are more criminals cloned, there will be more crimes
 * Cloning is not good for medical reasons, it has a very dangerous syndrome called "large offspring syndrome"
 * Cloning endangered species is not useful because cloning provokes nature
