CLONING j. Angielski

Cloning

For:
Cloning technology can create more efficient vegetables or other plants. About two years ago scientists from one of the Japanese biotechnology companies created a cubic water-melon.
Genetic engineering is used to create animals with special qualities, like genetically altered sheep, which can produce human insuline.
Reproductive cloning can be used to repopulate endangered species or animals difficult to breed, like pandas.
Cloning technology can be used to generate tissues and organs for transplantation, without the risk of rejection.

Against:
Clones may be born with genetic defects. For example Dolly was prone to obesity.
Some of cloned animals died mysteriously, although they appeared healthy and energetic.
Ethical concerns about destroying embryos in the process of cloning. Dolly was one of 276 attempts…

The first animal was cloned in 1952. It was a tadpole.
Dolly was cloned in 1997 by Ian Wilmut at Roslin Institute in Edinburgh.
It was the first mammal cloned from the cell of an adult animal. The
celebrity sheep was put down by lethal injection at age 6. Dolly had been
suffering from lung cancer and arthritis.

Euthanasia

Would be helpful to people who are unconscious (nieprzytomni) or they are in coma (śpiączka). Some people say that we should sustain life what ever happened. The question is if we should turn off the machines and let people die. Euthanasia is illegal in most countries in the world.
For:
-we can relieve somebody’s pain
-further treatment only prolongs the agony of death
-if a person has no chances for recovery euthanasia is act of mercy
-a person can be brain-dead so in this case this person would never live normally. There is no point in keeping him a live
-very often victims of car axidents can give organs for transplantation in this way we can help somebody also
Against:
-it is moral and wrong
-we never known when the patient can wake up for example :in USA a woman wake up after 11 years in coma, so maybe it is good to wait
-human life is very precious so we don’t have right to stopped

In my opinion euthanasia should be legal because sometimes death is better then life in pain and suffering.
