A dynamic view of morality

November 3, 2009

A liberal scientific take on cloning says it represents a process which will, in time, allow scientists to create organs that are a perfect match for those in need of a transplant. The cloned organ would be based on the recipient’s genetic material and would not require the use of debilitating therapies in order to suppress the individual’s immune system. There would also be no chance of rejection, which is almost always fatal. Therapeutic cloning therefore symbolises the ideal in organ transplantation as it would provide an unlimited source of replacement organs to anyone who needs them. (The Economic Times)
