ic technology that human dignity is lost and human beings (clones) are used as instruments? I know that with the introduction of cloning it will be impossible not to fall into this trap. I know that with the introduction of human cloning the value of human life will drop drastically.In this essay have used a deontological approach to argue that cloning should be banned on two basic grounds. First, I have agreed with Callahan that we need to think about the kind of society we want to become before introducing genetic technology, but I have also argued that we already are the bad society Callahan is afraid of and thus the introduction of cloning should be refrained from. Our society cares about individual rights (negative rights, non-interference) and is obsessed with control over death, disease and social behavior. Not until we are a society that cares about communal goods and learns to deal with death can we introduce human cloning. Second, I have argued that cloning is de-humanizing because it leads to a loss of human dignity and what it means to be a human. I want to leave the reader with the question of why are we pursuing human cloning? Are our motives pure? Are we really thinking of communal good or are we focused only on our individual needs and desires? Do we even care about losing our human dignity and what it means to be a human?...
