Artificial insemination is a better option than cloning for a same-sex couple wishing to have a child for three reasons: 1) It has a higher success rate of pregnancy than cloning; 2) It avoids the psychological, social, and health risks associated with cloning a human; and 3) It is less expensive than the complex process of human cloning. While cloning may be appealing, it raises serious ethical issues regarding the manipulation of human life and undermining the uniqueness and individuality of a person.

If a two lesbians would want to have a child which between cloning and artificial insemination would you suggest and why? - In my opinion I think that artificial insemination is better than cloning because Impregnation of a woman through artificial insemination may also be used by women or men in same-sex partnerships who wish to produce children of their own, and the success rate to conceive is high, According to a research study published in the journal Human Reproduction, the pregnancy rate for ICI is 37.9 percent after six treatment cycles and the same study found a 40.5 percent success rate for IUI, and also think Artificial insemination increase the chances that the genetic traits contributed from the sperm donor have a better genetic traits that had been considered desirable will be exhibited, in some measure, by the progeny. Even so, as it is a manipulation in the normal process of reproduction, a person is unique to the parents will be developed rather than identical as occurs in cloning and also it is cheaper. Human reproductive cloning remains universally condemned, primarily for the psychological, social, and physiological risks associated with cloning. A cloned embryo intended for implantation into a womb requires thorough molecular testing to fully determine whether an embryo is healthy and whether the cloning process is complete In addition, as demonstrated by 100 failed attempts to generate a cloned macaque in 2007, a viable pregnancy is not guaranteed. Because the risks associated with reproductive cloning in humans introduce a very high likelihood of loss of life, the process is considered unethical.

Is Adult DNA Cloning morally up right? Yes and NO, support your thoughts - In my opinion is not morally right, because it arises issues when we talk about cloning, There also exists controversy over the ethics of therapeutic and research cloning. Some individuals and groups have an objection to therapeutic cloning, because it is considered the manufacture and destruction of a human life, even though that life has not developed past the embryonic stage. Those who are opposed to therapeutic cloning believe that the technique supports and encourages acceptance of the idea that human life can be created and expended for any purpose. In addition, it is important to many philosophers and policy makers that women and couples not be exploited for the purpose of obtaining their embryos or eggs. And Cloning goes against the basic belief of certain religions that only God has created life and its various forms in nature. Humans cannot act as “God”. Even when genetically identical twins are born, their embryo splits spontaneously or randomly to give a new unique genetic combination. Cloning involves a controlled split of the embryo to produce a tailor-made genetic make up. Ethically, it is wrong for any human to have control over the genetic make up of any other individual. More so, the cloned individual would be generated for specific purposes. This in essence is wrong wherein the purpose of an individual’s life should be more than just satisfying someone else’s needs. And the issue that bother me most is Cloning creates a new human, yet strips him off his individuality. A man, along with his clone can never be dignified as a single identity. The uniqueness attributed to humans from God might be at stake. The replication of an individual is a major blow to his most distinct feature – his identity, and how will the cloned individual might react and behave with regards to his family and parents? If he/she is cloned from his grandparents and not his parents, would he/she be considered a sibling? How would he/she react? How would the parents and family regard the cloned individual? When we are unsure about the implications or consequences of such situations, it is ethically wrong to subject any individual to such tests as fellow human beings.
