Abstract:
The purpose of this section is to provide an overview of the main points of cloning, a subject that may not initially seem to be very important in debates regarding bioethical issues. Cloning must be thoroughly examined nevertheless, since research institutions all around the world continue to pursue ambitious initiatives like the cloning of human cells. In addition to defining cloning, the debate will address its several applications and the responsibilities that the “clones” and their creators play in the process. Are there any moral dilemmas here? What do they consist of? Additionally, the media’s contribution to the development and acceptance of particular cloning methods -most notably reproductive cloning- will be discussed. It is crucial to fully understand the ideas presented in the first chapter, to think critically, and to research the subject further. Readers will ultimately recognize the significance of this section as a continuation of the earlier ones, offering a thorough grasp of the subject.
