The issue of human reproductive cloning is a complex subject, in which many questions need to be addressed before any action is taken. Any decision based on reproductive cloning will not be clear and will instead be the scene of a multitude of ideas. In this article, I will determine, through philosophical reflection, whether human reproductive cloning is morally appropriate. First of all, it is important to discuss what human cloning is. It is the design of embryos in vitro that produces “individuals who are exact genetic copies of the donor from whom the DNA was obtained” (Munson 366). In simple terms, cells from the donor host are inserted into an unfertilized egg from another host (meaning it is asexual) and the new egg is transferred to the surrogate mother where it will become an embryo, if it is effective. There are certain rewards and disadvantages of using human reproductive cloning. A benefit would be to give a woman who is unable to find the right person to have a child with the child she wanted. In “Mothers by Choice,” there are many professional women who previously had to settle for “Mr.” Okay” to have a child (Munson 335). Now, marriage is not necessary for working women to have a child and they would not have to settle down or put their ambitions aside. A downside would certainly be like the Calvert affair. A couple was determined to have a child, but the mother had a hysterectomy to remove her uterus and was therefore unable to carry a child to term. Instead, the couple turned to a surrogate mother who would carry the child. Unfortunately, the surrogate mother felt that she should also be the child's mother and took the matter to court (Munson 348). The courts have ruled that since the middle of paper, one must not want or desire to be manipulated despite experimenting with cloning. By disrupting a process that can cause harm to many people, we ensure that we act the way we want to be treated. Finally, our course of action should be to legally prohibit human reproductive cloning. This decision will not harm, abuse or exploit anyone. This action will be indicative of the moral standards we should want everyone to follow. Ultimately, ethics is much bigger than law. Ethical thoughts are more important than legal ideas because it is likely that the laws themselves may turn out to be corrupt and inconsistent with honorable ethics. Therefore, as a society, we must analyze the law from an ethical perspective, such as in the case of reproductive cloning.Works CitedMunson, R. 2014. Intervention and Reflection.
