Frankenstein Transgender: Reproductive Cloning

“Reproductive cloning involves creating an animal that is genetically identical to a donor animal through somatic cell nuclear transfer. In reproductive cloning, the newly created embryo is placed back into the uterine environment where it can implant and develop” (“What Is the Difference”). Reproductive cloning is a good thing because it can provide children who have the same genetics as their parents who can't have children. In the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Victor the creator of the monster wants to recreate life using natural powers but finds out it has bad consequences at the end.

Reproductive cloning is bad as people might say because cloned children who have a nuclear donor tend to have impairments like psychology and social developments.Instead of causing damage to your children adoption is a good way to go that way cloning a child would not be necessary, or fostering children who are in need. Reproductive cloning is inherently unsafe. At least 95% of mammalian cloning experiments have resulted in failures in the form of miscarriages, stillbirths, and life-threatening anomalies; some experts believe no clones are fully healthy ( “Center For Genetics And Society” May 15 2006). Reproductive cloning could not only be dangerous to the child but to the mother as while who is also at risk because of the engineering that goes on and the technology now these days. Not only that the technology gets tested on animals first and then see if it's acceptable for humans (women) to use. Cloning a child in a woman cannot only be dangerous but can cause birth defects and have a huge risk on the child and women, that can cause deaths or a more severe case down the line.

Reproductive cloning can become beneficial in so many ways to help parents who want to have a child and can’t.Cloning is a good idea because it can allow parents whether they are (gay, transgender, lesbians) to have children who are biological there's. It also allows people to have children without the risk of known genetic diseases, and to attempt to 'replace' children who have died prematurely (The President Council On Bioethics). By using reproductive cloning this would help women create stem cells and be able to have eggs to help develop a baby.Cloning is a reproductive right and once it is said to be safe as natural reproduction, also animals who are endangered can be cloned to save their species (Human Cloning). Reproductive cloning could change the world in science and medicine by doing this it can help benefit so many people that want children.

In conclusion Reproductive cloning can be beneficial but we also have to remember that we are dealing with that nature and science part of cloning. Science can be good but it also can become bad like in the book Frankenstein by mary shelley. Victor frankenstein created life, yes it did have consequences because the creature started destroying things victor loved, because he did not teach the creature skills or companionship.But if frankenstein would have taught the creature things step by step and how life works than the outcome would have been better. Reproductive cloning has good and bad consequences but at the end it should be given a shot to help people.
