Headless Clones :0

Post by DataCruncher »

The idea alone is macabre, not to mention crossing the line, imo.

Aristotle and headless clones

Cloned organisms can be genetically altered so that they do not exhibit higher brain functioning. This form of therapeutic cloning allows for genetically identical organs and tissues to be harvested from the clone for the use of the organism that is cloned. "Spare parts" cloning promises many opportunities for future medical advances.
What is the ontological and ethical status of spare parts, headless clones? This paper attempts to answer this question from the perspective of Aristotle's view of the soul. Aristotle's metaphysics as applied to his view of biological essences generates an ethic that can contribute to moral reasoning regarding the use of headless spare parts clones. The task of this paper is to show the implications that Aristotle's view of the soul, if it is true, would have on the ethics of headless, spare parts cloning.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

I'm posting this from Traditional lands of the British Empire & the current Lands of The Dominion of Canada.
I also give thanks for this ethos richness bestowed on us via British Colonialism.

Don't know, but for whatever 'it' is, personally, I find it repulsive science.
When it's time to go - it's time to move on, into the next life.

The show host is a nut job. Just like repeating "headless clone" and that schools want children to be transgendered... I mean, he's doing what he can to mispresent the science here all while trying to appeal to the religious.

Nobody has ever demonstrated or provided evidence for humans having a soul. So lets just not bother with that argument.

Is it ethical to grow spare parts? Well, I guess I don't see any issue, ethically, from learning more about this field of science, which would include experimentation.

I think that most of us likely agree that medical testing on live human patients is unethical. It happens in clinical trials. But what if we test on tissues grown in a lab? Tissues that have no emotions, no intelligence, no feelings, no family, no value to society outside of the one purpose they were grown for. Is that unethical? I don't think so.

What if we can more quickly test vaccines on these tissues? Maybe that means safer vaccines are deployed quicker.
What if cancers can be researched better and tested on without harming patients? Just grow a tissue in a lab and do the testing. Maybe we end up with cures for things like childhood leukemia.

I don't think it's a question of ethics. I think it's more a question of what the religious minorities will tolerate and how much influence they have in government to make policies. If god didn't want us experimenting in this form of science, then god shouldn't have given us the intelligence to get this far. If god exists, he wants us to grow, learn and make mistakes. Is this a mistake or is this the next step in medicine?
