Clone Technology
These days clone technology has progressed rapidly. This
technology will
resolve many medical
problems and the famine by population explosion.
However, cloning has possibility of producing many problems. In
short we
face dilemma whether
to support freedom of science development or to protect human
dignity.
The Diet’s answer was that no one can execute human cloning and
the law
regulating clone
technology came into force in June 6,2001.
So we deal with this matter using the report “Copydog, Copycat”fromTIME
asia
and discuss:
1. Do you want your clone? If you want, how do you use him or her?
2. Show the idea for new business using cloning like Genetic
Saving &
Clone.
3. Give the example of the benefit and the risk of clone
technology.
4. Can human cloning progress without infringing human dignity?
5. The law about clone technology has become effective since June
6,2001.This law regulates human cloning. Do you think it is
appropriate
for the law to influence science development?
