philo problem: cloning

Ever since it has come to light, the issue of cloning became the most trivial issue on human existence. It has stirred the interest and opinion of the world and divided the people into its supporters and condemners. However due to the prominence of conservative societies, it is still regarded as an unethical and immoral action which therefore, is prohibited. Nevertheless, most of its supporters convince the people on the advantages of cloning for organ transplantation. Supporters say that through cloning, finding the match for a person who desperately needs an organ for transplant would no longer be a big problem. It would benefit the most the improvement of medical and surgical services to help the people.
The world’s most influential people, the Christians, comprise more than half of the world’s population. As part of their faith, they live in accordance to the doctrines of the Bible which clearly brands an action against its principles as immoral and atrocious. Thus when cloning was first introduced, the Christian Church and all the believers of the Bible explicitly rebuked its existence, demeaning it as a work of the evil. In fact, Christians firmly depended on the first commandment in the Old Testament of the Bible: “I am the Lord, Your God. You shall not have other gods before me.” For the Christians, cloning, no matter how benevolent its purpose be, is still against the ten commandments, the Law of God and of Mankind.
On the other hand, supporters of cloning have been striving to redeem it in the eyes of a dogmatic society. They insist that cloning is part of the progress modernization tends, which is technology. And similar to the objectives of technology, the purpose of cloning is to make life of man easier and fulfilling. Through cloning, they further explained, the lack of organ donors or organ matches will no longer be a problem. Those people who are in face of death and in dire need of organ replacement will be assured to achieve the organ they wanted as soon as possible. And for them, cloning isn’t as cruel as playing god but it actually caters benefits for a greater and longer life.
It is upon the public’s discretion whether to choose morality or practicality.
