Did you ever imagine having a child that is the exact replica of you? Did you ever imagine of having the cure for heart disease or cancer? Well, these fantasies are not far from reach. The way we could reach these fantasies is through a process called cloning. Cloning is the replication of an exact genetic copy of an organism by use of a somatic tissue (or cell) from the donor organism. Cloning can be used in humans, human organs, or even animals.A benefit of cloning is cloning human organs or body parts. If a person has a dysfunctional liver or heart then they could get it cloned and get a brand new one. These are some of the benefits of cloning.Cloning can bring many benefits to the human, such as rejuvenation, helpful for Defective genes, Liver failure, Kidney failure and Leukemia. These disease are very different to cure, if we use theadvantages of cloning1)decreasing the pain of women who can’t give birth2)promoting the development of genetics3)testing whether there is genetic defect in new- borns4)curing the nervous system damages1、正方:自然界存在克隆现象…………Nature itself exists cloning phenomenon. In nature, there are many plants which are born withthe instinct of cloning, such as potato, rose. Grafting is a clone. Besides, clone have alreadyexisted in natural animal and microbe. For example, monozygotic twins is actually a clone.反方:我认为你的观点有些偏离辩论赛的题目。
我们的辩论点是人类是否应该被克隆。
所以你应该应回到辩题上。
I think that your point have some deviation from the the subject of Englishdebate contest. Ourdebate points is whether human cloning should be allowed. So you should be back to the subject.2、正方:是的。
…………比如器官移植。
Thank you for reminding me, but I cite these examples to illustrate clone has become animportant technology. It can be used for the benefit of mankind, for example, used in organtransplantation反方:克隆技术依然不够成熟,它存在意想不到的结果。
在动物克隆试验中存在高失败率、高风险。
如多利羊寿命不长久。
It can cause some unexpective results because the cloning technology is still immature. Cloningexperiments in animals that appear in the high failure rate, high-risk. Even the cloned animalsmay live a very short time. For example, Dolly lived only 6 years long, no more than half theaverage time.3、正方:…………不存在排斥现象。
…………好处(器官移植)But the cloning technology for organ transplantation has many benefits. It can seek moreextensive sources for organ transplantation, reduce the immunological rejection and improve thesuccess rate of transplantation. For example, cloning technology can be used for the treatment ofnervous system damage. Adults can’t regenerate nerve cells. but stem cells can repair thenervous system injury.反方:有些人也许利用克隆技术来克隆人,摘取他们的器官进行移植。
那我们人类成什么了?我认为这是一种侵犯人权的行为。
另外,很多宗教人士反对克隆,认为它违背了自然规则。
Some people may use the clone technology to clone human and harvest fororgans transplanting.Then what we human are? I think it is a violation of human rights. Furthermore, most religiouspeople are on the down-side of cloning. Many say that cloning is messing with the natural orderof things.4、正方:不违背人权。
……利于好基因的延续……But a single organ cloning isn’t a violation of human rights. In addition, Cloning technology canalso be used to multiply valuable genes. For example, in medicine, insulin is produced to treatdiabetes. Through genetic selection, we can control the genetic disease.反方:如果只选取优良品种,破坏基因的多样性.正是由于人类基因的多样性,我们对环境的变化有更强的适应性。
不同人有不同适应能力,一次环境变化不致于整个人类的灭亡。
这是我们追求基因多样性的一个重要原因。
It will destroy the genetic diversity if we only select the good genetic. We have great flexibility inthe process of environmental changes for the sake of the diversity of human genetic. Why do wehave been pursuing genetic diversity? The reason is that different people have their own abilitiesto adapt to the environmental changes.首先,克隆人技术难度大,要达到一定的数量很难,即使将来有那么几个克隆人来到世界上,也不见得会威胁到人类的生存。
其次,人们对事物的接受也有一个过程,人的伦理道德观念是可以改变的,现在接受不了的东西,将来不见得不能接受。
最近,一位父亲写信说,他5岁的儿子因患白血病死了,这位父亲悲痛万分,迫切希望国家的克隆技术快速进步,成为第一个受益者。
要求克隆自己死去的孩子不能说不合人之常情吧?First, the cloning technology is difficult, very difficult to reach a certainnumber, even if there are so few clones will come into the world, may not be the threat to human survival. Secondly, the acceptance of things that people have a process, the human moral concepts can be changed, and now can not accept what the future may not be acceptable. Recently, a father wrote that his 5 year old son died of leukemia, died, the father grieved, eager to rapid progress in cloning the country, became the first beneficiary. Requires clone of his dead child can not say that sub-human nature, right?再次,科技的发展有自身的内在规律,细胞技术的发展是挡不住的。
