关于“克隆”的英语辩论赛

关于“克隆”的英语辩论赛

（1）中文资料

先看看人类对克隆技术的支持与反对人群：

支持者：狂人政客、恐怖分子、野心勃勃的科学家、渴望巨额利益的企业

反对者：各国政府、国际组织、20余亿信仰上帝的教徒（上帝创造人类）

正方：1“克隆人”技术能使千千万万不孕症患者实现做父母的愿望；能使那些痛失骨肉的亲人重温天伦之乐；能为许许多多不治之症找到新的治疗方案；能创造巨大的物质财富和社会效益

2．克隆技术与遗传育种

在农业方面，人们利用“克隆”技术培育出大量具有抗旱、抗倒伏、抗病虫害的优质高产品种，大大提高了粮食产量。在这方面我国已迈入世界最先进的前列。3．克隆技术与濒危生物保护

克隆技术对保护物种特别是珍稀、濒危物种来讲是一个福音，具有很大的应用前景。从生物学的角度看，这也是克隆技术最有价值的地方之一。

4．克隆技术与医学重点：病人的福音

在当代，医生几乎能在所有人类器官和组织上施行移植手术。但就科学技术而言，器官移植中的排斥反应仍是最为头痛的事。排斥反应的原因是组织不配型导致相容性差。如果把“克隆人”的器官提供给“原版人”，作器官移植之用，则绝对没有排斥反应之虑，因为二者基因相配，组织也相配。问题是，利用“克隆人”作为器官供体合不合乎人道？是否合法？经济是否合算？

克隆技术还可用来大量繁殖有价值的基因，例如，在医学方面，人们正是通过“克隆”技术生产出治疗糖尿病的胰岛素、使侏儒症患者重新长高的生长激素和能抗多种病毒感染的干挠素，等等。

反方：1克隆技术还不完善。

——克隆羊DOLLY就生病死了

——克隆采用人工手段进行体细胞分离DNA然后再

次结合，有可能出现基因变异。

2违背人类伦理道德。重点（貌似是）

——克隆人没有传统意义上的父母。

——克隆人没有家庭。

——与某些宗教教义相抵触。

3还没有克隆人相关的法律

——克隆人是否享有所有人类，公民的权利

——有人可能利用克隆人作为廉价劳动力

——某些组织，宗教可能利用克隆人进行活人祭祀

——某些个人，团体可能利用克隆人犯罪。

——克隆人是否属于其克隆行为的实施者，或者其

细胞提供者？

关于克隆人：1.会引起人类的大恐慌，因为有关可怕的克隆人的电影早已把克隆人妖魔化了；

2.会引发道德伦理上的大讨论，因为奶奶的克隆体可能比孙子还小；

3.会引起另一种歧视，因为据说克隆人除非发生基因突变，或者被引入了其他基因从而变成了转基因超人，不然是不会比人更强的。

好处：帮人做事。坏处：如果克隆出比人类还聪明的，有思想的人类将面临灭亡！好事.让失去的亲人复活,其他的事不管了。

正方：

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. There are many advantages and disadvantages of cloning.

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 the cloning technology we can change the Gene’s DNA order, so we can save lots of people.

反方：One disadvantage is whether if cloning is ethical. Cloning will bring

up a great controversy on whether if

cloning is the “right” thing to do or not. This controversy is currently going on right now and will be even a greater controversy if the government allows cloning. Many people think that nature should just take its course. Other people think that cloning will be a very good thing to society.

Another disadvantage of cloning is that it has not been perfected yet. The cloning of the sheep Dolly had 276 failures before successfully cloning a sheep. With these kinds of figures we should not even go near trying to demonstrate cloning on humans. One more disadvantage of cloning can be studied through the works of Aldous Huxley in his book the “Brave New World.” Huxley illustrates the future with people having “total loss of individuality, creativity, and freedom. ” This is because if humans are then there would be a lot of the same people in the future. An example would be if a person is cloned and was cloned 3 times. This would cause trouble because none of these clones will have anything unique about themselves. The future of cloning is very questionable. As of now cloning is banned in the United States. The government is not supporting the experimenting of cloning through any means.

总结：Someone is going to do it, legal or illegal. But it seems only logical

to do it under strict government supervision with the best trained professionals rather than letting some maniacal scientist do it and let his clone run loose. To reduce the risk of having more disadvantages of Cloning, human cloning should not be prohibited simply because it does not insure immediate benefits, but it should be experimented with for potential future use. In conclusion, cloning is a study in biotechnology that has unlimited possibilities. There are benefits such as cures for diseases and disadvantages such as not perfecting the technique of cloning. Despite this fact, cloning will be an ongoing process and will be tested. Hopefully cloning will not be a downfall to human history but rather a step

closer to a better society.
