HUMAN CLONING 3
often ended up in a failure. The scientist who did cloning of Dolly is said to have failed almost
276 times before they succeeded to come up with a single live-born clone of a rather adult sheep.
According to the most expert scientist, various attempts to clone humans have a high likelihood
of ending up in failure (Yeung, 2018). As a result, there are some scientists such as Ian Wilmut
and Rudolf Jaenisch who concluded that the main cause of abnormal cloning is the aspect of
faulty reprogramming of genomes. In case there is the introduction of nucleus belonging to a
somatic cell into the enucleated egg, there is a need of reprogramming the DNA in the nucleus
with an aim of coming up with a fully developed human being (Braidotti, 2018). If this process
does not go right, there is a likelihood of the creation of abnormal gene expressions.
Primarily, there is various Congress who are outspoken in the haste of opposing human
cloning for the purpose of reproduction. Nonetheless, there has been an attempt by Senator
Daschle to delay the overall consideration of the H.R 2505, and thus there has not been any
existing consensus particularly on the banning of embryo cloning that is aimed for the research
process (Murphy, 2018). Notably, such type of human cloning is deemed unethical for many
reasons. One reason is that the research of human cloning can only be deemed justifiable in case
it is based on the utilitarian calculus that is tasked at prizing millions of human lives who could
sometimes be treated or rather cured as a result of such research over the overall lives of
embryos that would instead be destroyed for the purpose of the research (Segers, Pennings,
Dondorp, de Wert, & Mertes, 2018). However, it is not an ethical idea to sacrifice the lives of
others for the potential benefits of other individuals. Additionally, it is no doubt unethical to
subject human beings as a means to an end despite their age gap. This has even forced various
embryonic researchers to be opposed with the idea of coming up with a special creation of
embryos for the purpose of research. Notably, this is true even considering that it is actually what
