human clones for organ harvesting" (Newman). But some took the remark seriously. An important embryologist said "Why not?" (Newman). It is an interesting idea but there are ethical implications.
It is an important idea because organs are hard to come by. People are on waiting lists for quite awhile and there are people who believe that selling organs is
ethical because otherwise, people will surely die. At the same time, organ selling is deemed illegal because of the ethics involved. Poor people will sell organs to, for example, pay
off a gambling debt. Their decisions will not be good because they are under pressure. The idea of cloning in general must be addressed. Newman writes about the problem where
reckless people will try to make clones, and then improve on the clones. Once again, ethics invade. What is acceptable? Is it acceptable to order babies with blue eyes and
no genetic defects? One is speaking about not only the moral implications but the eventual genetic effects of cloning. The human species and its future could be changed forever. Of
course, creating cells and growing organs only is a different subject. There is no chance of reproduction. At the same time, if physicians are able to implant new organs into
human beings, that could possibly alter the human condition. Therapeutic cloning can be helpful for those in need of organs. What occurs in this process is that embryos which are
cloned may yield stem cells and so scientists can extract DNA from a patient and then fuse it with an egg cell that is hollow (Ulick 46). The egg will
then turn into an embryo which is identical to the DNA of a donor (Ulick 46). Stem cells are then extracted from one of the embryos (Ulick 46). The potential
