"Human Cloning." American Medical Association. American Medical Association, 2011. Web. 15 Sept. 2011.
In the article, "Human Cloning," the author illuminates the process of cloning and its effects. Briefly touching on the history of cloning, the author provides several statistics on the success rate of cloning. While the cloning of animals can be beneficial, attributed to its potential medical uses, human cloning is less advantegous. Due to the high risk of failure, the author feels that human cloning is risky, at best. Should human cloning occur and, as is most likely, prove to be fruitless, then scientific process would be hindered.
The intent of the author seemed to be to point out the benefits of cloning, but the drawbacks of human cloning, although the intended audience appeared to be ambiguous.
There were two discernable biases in this article. The author was very pro-cloning, but sought to discourage the use of human cloning.
I believe this to be a good article for me. It provided specific information on the process of cloning and all its risks and benefits. I also believe this would be a good topic for other people, as it is becoming an ever prevalent issue in the world today.
I really thought this article was interesting, Laura, and would be an awesome topic to write your paper on. Many people feel differently about cloning humans, and if you feel it is alright, you could certainly write a great debatable/argumentative paper about this topic. If you were curious enough, this would be an interesting topic to even read about for enjoyment. Great topic choice!
