"Goodbye Dolly" reading questions

Dear Medical Ethics Class,

Answer the following questions by Thursday, Oct. 20th and email them to my LaGuardia inbox.
These questions concern the article "Goodbye Dolly" which is the third article in your coursepack. Only part of this article is covered by these questions. This is because I only want to cover a part of the article before your midterm.

Questions

1.(a) In the section entitled, "Individuals, multiples, and genetic variation" Harris compares clones to identical twins. Are twins identical copies of the same person. If not, what do twins have in common? (b) Do you think that there any strong moral reasons to oppose cloning by cell-mass division (see the section entitled, "cell mass division") for the purpose of treating infertility"? (c) Does Harris think that cloning for the purpose of treating infertility is immoral or not? What is his main argument for his position?

2. Read the section entitled, "Nuclear Substitution: the birth of Dolly." (a) Describe the method by which Dolly was cloned? (b) Was the worldwide reaction to this event mostly positive or negative? (c) Do you think that cloning an adult human would violate "human dignity"? What is human dignity and what does it mean to violate a person's dignity? (d) Read the section entitled, "Human Dignity". Kant's principle that " a person should never be thought of as a means, but also as an end" is cited as a principle of human dignity that renders it unethical to clone an adult human so that the clone can be used for therapeutic purposes and killed. How does Harris criticize this principle?
