Comment on the following statement: |
Today some scientists claim that cloning experiments should not be subject to government scrutiny. |
|
What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement? |
Some people think that cloning experiments should be up to scientists to manage, whereas others say that it is purely a government concern.
I think that cloning must be under government’s control. First of all, it is difficult to predict the consequences of such experiments. If it gets out of control it might cause bad things like horrible diseases, sufferings of cloned animals or people and so on. Second, we should figure out the moral side of this process first. For example, are people that would come from these experiments real humans?
At the same time there are people who say that scientists have to get more freedom. They have a right to decide what is moral and what is not. If they were not controlled by government, they would make serious progress in this field.
Actually, I do not agree with this oppinion. If scientists were in charge they would make much more troubles, since nobody knows where all their experiments could lead. In fact, there are a lot of aspects of these experiments that are beyond scientists’ competence.
In conclusion, I would like to say that cloning has to be elaborately discussed before any decision is taken. It is one of the questions that does not have an obvious answer and contains many important and debatable aspects of people's life that need to be thoroughly investigated, since a wrong decision can lead to serious consequences. Thus, that is the reason why I strongly believe government should be incharge. or In conclusion, I would like to say that there are opposing views on this issue. At first sight scientists should be in charge in questions of cloning but in actual fact mistakes can lead to serious consequences. Thus, that is the reason why I strongly believe that government should control these experiments. |
