Their are many things I see that I find very unethical. First is the fact that I think cloning is general will lead to many bad things down the road. Neanderthals are known to have been stronger than humans. If the technology were to get into the wrong hands, technically someone could create an army of strong Neanderthals. This could be problematic. Another thing I see is that I believe that only God can create life. This topic is against my religion along with many others. This does make me biased to the topic. When reading this article, I tried to be as unbiased as possible. Another thing I see wrong and could be a problem is what Caplan said at the end of the article. He stated that there could be many problems with births and newborns before a healthy clone is born. This means many women would have to give birth to this baby. It is possible that they could even die from the pregnancy. Overall, I think this is a very touchy subject and it will be interesting to see where this story goes.
