Cloning embryo research and genetic modification are three of the most controversial issues of our time. Is it ethical to use cloning as a means of reproduction Are embryos people Is there a difference between removing genetic disease and creating designer babies This book will attempt to show that these and other problems are ultimately resolvable given careful and unbiased application of established ethical principles many of which underlie common morality. These principles when applied to the problems of the new genetic technologies form the basis of a new genetic morality. This book applies established principles of biomedical ethics to the new genetic technologies and examines the ethical implications of reproductive and therapeutic cloning genetic modification and stem cell research from a deontological and a ruleutilitarian perspective. Finally it seeks to establish what if anything is wrong with each of these practices and why.
