The first contemporary issue; human cloning, from my persepctive didn't really effect my principles. I believe human cloning goes along with most of my individual principles. Considering I've followed stem cell research and to a lesser extent human cloning my own personal principles didn't really come into play all that much on the issues. Tooley was certainly much more consistant with my views and principles. Tooley's method of self refliection as a soceity points out the hypocracy in Kass' argument. Tooley believes that most of the reasons against human cloning and stem cell research are null, because we already practice many of these things as a soceity. I totally agree with this view.
I commented on Javier's blog.
i agree with you on Toeley point of view because a lot of those points he gave we as human already do it. a lot of parents wants they children to live they life through them the only different is it that they will not admit that they ego is the main focus when raisin a child.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your view on Tooley's arguement. I think the benefits of human cloning definitely outweigh the moral standing of Kass' arguement. Over time things that were once seen as "immoral" are now considered as the norm. I think this will eventually apply to human cloning as well.
