I worry about the use of genetics by insurance companies to deny coverage to people who are carriers of certain genes. Or to deny coverage to pregnant women who choose to have a baby who has been diagnosed before birth with spina bifida, downe's syndrome, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or other conditions that will require a lot of medical upkeep.
I think its a door in science if opened itll open many, many more doors of discovery. Goals in genetic cloning to find cures for paralysis and nerve damage,and organ transplants and if a cure for these problems lie within genetic cloning then i think its a must. However the people who want to clone humans just for the sake of cloning humans i think is totaly un nessicary. Humans already have the beautifull gift of being able to give life why do we need another source that is un pure.
It is our future. Cloning will, in the long run, both save and destroy humanity. You didn't really think those tall grey aliens were actually aliens, did you? That's us from the future. After we've genetically manipulated ourselves to the brink of extinction. But, really, I think the benefits of human cloning far out weight the disadvantages. I say we go for it full steam. All we have to do is get rid of the religious extremists and we can proceede the way god intended.
"I worry about the use of genetics by insurance companies to deny coverage to people who are carriers of certain genes."
Are you saying insurers have no right to do that? And if so, why don't they? They are running a business, not a public service.
What you are actually worried about there is that by unlocking the understanding of genetics we will be able to tell who is better built than others- what we have been given by chance. This is, indeed, quite a Pandora's Box- but staying in ignorance is rarely a better option.
