Is human cloning another Frankenstein? The creation of life through unnatural methods is an issue addressed by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Through the events that result from Victor's attempt to bestow life on the inanimate, Shelley concludes that it is inappropriate for man to play the role of God. With the advent of the science of creation, cloning, scientists now find themselves having to address the same problem raised by Shelley years ago. The applications of this research are numerous, all of different severity. How cloning users are developed and executed is the subject of much debate. Unfortunately, there is no absolute answer to the problem. One popular suggestion is to develop cloning technology for medical use in humans. The creation of animals to be used at man's discretion, such as livestock for food, is an ancient and generally accepted practice. However, when a human clone is created, for its organs, can such an act be said to be murder? Aldous Huxley illustrates another view of cloning in Brave New World. The novel describes people created from basic templates to fit a given level of society. Should people have the ability to plan for the kind of child they will have? The implications of creating personalized humans raise many moral issues. In Shelley's Frankenstein, the act of creation resulted in an abhorred being. By using cloning, there is the possibility that someone could develop a genetically enhanced being for malicious purposes. The question of how to regulate the potential uses and abuses of the above ideals is a subject of much debate. Several acceptable answers have been suggested, but each has its own weaknesses and group of detractors. As an answer to the moral questions raised by the advent of cloning, several co...... middle of paper...... will be formulated. With the exploration of various solutions and problems that arise when addressing these approaches to the moral dilemma faced, one can only conclude that the best solution is already being developed. The human race is not ready to control the formation of life, because there are too many potential abuses and there is no way to control them. A peremptory ban on human cloning research should not be necessary with the current level of cloning technology possessed. However, strictly limiting which areas of this research are pursued and who carries it out is most critical. When new ideas appear, confusion arises, and understanding all aspects of the new ideas causes the necessary changes in society. Popular approval of the idea of ​​human cloning is indispensable to the efforts of those who wish to advance the science of human cloning.
