Additionally, it gives a bioethical perspective uniquely differing from that of Western medicine in approaching the ethical issue from the standpoint of the Islamic religion. Kolehmainen, Sophia. “HUMAN CLONING: BRAVE NEW MISTAKE.” Council for Responsible Genetics. Council for Responsible Genetics. Web. 11 Mar. 2015. This website article, like several of the other sources, begins with explanations of what cloning animals “is”, why it may be beneficial, and what cloning a person might mean. This article, however, is unique in its detailed attack against human cloning not only through ethics, but also scientific concerns for the human race and its future in a world where human cloning is practiced. Specifically, the article attempts to attack claims that human cloning could cure infertility. As a result, this article is useful to my paper as an example of a detailed perspective against human cloning with a variety of arguments. Mcgee, Glenn. “Primer on Ethics and Human Cloning.” Actionbioscience. American Institute of Biological Sciences, Feb. 2001. Web. 11 Mar. 2015. Written by Glenn McGee, a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Bioethics, this website article is very useful and reliable. Although it is over a decade old, it doesn’t deal with the science of cloning, but with a variety of serious ethical and psychological concerns surrounding the subject that are unlikely to change over time. Thus, it is very useful to my essay in that it presents an educated perspective on several ethical issues of human cloning.
