Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 3 page paper discussing the ethics of human cloning. Stem cells used in therapeutic cloning are most plentiful in placenta and aborted fetuses, but they also are available in every adult. Therapeutic cloning does not seem to be as much an issue as is the origin of the stem cells from which cloning can be accomplished. All ethical issues should be served through adult donation of stem cells, in the same way adults now donate blood and organs. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

"Everything is permissible for me - but not everything is beneficial" (I Corinthians 6:12 NIV). The issue of cloning can be considered in this manner as well. Therapeutic
cloning appears to be more ethically acceptable than is reproductive cloning, and to date only therapeutic cloning has been demonstrated to be possible. Recent reports of the production of
a human clone have not been substantiated (Get real, 2003), and the company claiming to have accomplished the generation of complete individuals from only a few human cells has failed
to produce any proof for its claims. To date, the United States has limited stem cell research to those strains already existing for
research purposes. The European Union (EU) takes the official position of supporting therapeutic cloning only, though it allows individual member states to decide for themselves how much of the
technology they will accept and allow. The most ethical approach to human cloning appears to be that which the EU has adopted.
That is, to allow therapeutic cloning for the purpose of improving the quality of life of many of those individuals awaiting organ transplantation, but limiting cloning only to that type
of usage (Bowring, 2004). Venturing into reproductive cloning appears to raise nearly everyones hackles, however, as it introduces a wealth of questions such as who supports and educates human
clones. One author states that we should not avoid a technology simply because we do not yet have it completely identified (Get real,
2003). Those awaiting transplant organ availability likely would agree. Societys Perspective Andrews (2003) addresses the ethics of therapeutic cloning as it applies
