Hello fellow bloggers!
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. I’m currently studying a Graduate Diploma in Communication at the University of Queensland, and as part of my course I am exploring controversies in science. I’ve got an interest in medical science and what it can do to make our lives better. For me, the most intriguing developments in medical science in recent memory have been in the area of human cloning.
There is much controversy regarding the ethics of human cloning and I want to explore this further in my blog over the next 10 weeks. What makes it controversial??? It’s not just the science of human cloning that sparks debate, it’s whether we should interfere in the normal process of ageing and disease, whether we should or shouldn’t create life to save a life or address infertility issues for couples by cloning a child who is effectively the twin its mother. I’m starting on a journey (literally I’m flying to the UK tomorrow night!) of really exploring the issues from both sides about the ethics of human cloning. I hope you can come along with me……..
Things to look forward to in the next wee while...... in no particular order
- What does the UN say about human cloning??? Do we agree on what we are using it for now?
- Australian Law and other countries (I'm sure inspiration is going to come from my travels!!)
- Dolly the sheep and what she did, and didn't do. I might even go and visit her in Edinburgh
