Cloning Argument of Mary Warnock

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
a new generation of "duplicates", is not only based on the moral considerations raised by those in society in regards to the uniqueness of individuals and the preservation of "human  dignity" but also in regards to the safety of the procedure and how it will be used in the future. In consideration of cloning, philosopher Lady Mary Warnock presents arguments  based on a "hypothetical" future in which cloning has been deemed a safe procedure while additional discussion takes further account of using morality as a sound basis for medical decisions.  Lady Mary Warnock is considered as "probably the most famous philosopher in Britain" and while she has done a great deal in regards  to the foundation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) legislation in Britain she believes that "it would be quite wrong for anybody to attempt human reproductive cloning in the foreseeable future  because, for the moment, it is unsafe" (Baggini, 2003; Connor, 2002). While Warnock does not believe in human cloning for the present, she does present an argument in regards to  cloning in the "hypothetical" future when reproductive cloning has been proven to be as safe as any other fertility procedure. In presentation of cloning as a possibility, Warnock firstly addresses  the "moral" issues which have been registered in regards to two or more human sharing the same genetic code (DNA). This cannot provide the basis for opposition, argues Warnock, because  humans with identical DNA already exist and are accepted by society as in the case of identical twins. A second issue which is opposed by Warnock is the argument that  those who are born as clones would be born without the "right to have ones own identity". Within society, individuals born as identical twins and even Siamese twins have never
