The Limits of Science and Biological Investigation /C.M. Mazzoni. -- II. Cloning: Biological and Moral Aspects J. Finnis, et al. -- III. Cloning in Popular Imagination A. Cavarero, et al.Scientific research on biotechnologies has become the protagonist of discoveries that exert a formidable impact on public opinion. Every day popular opinion is challenged by the media, so that it becomes not only a witness of these developments, but is also, to a certain extent, forced to become a judge of those cases where human and animal genetics have been investigated over the last decades. The man-in-the-street is thus confronted by moral positions ranging from cautious approval, to wait-and-see attitudes, to unconditional condemnation. On the other hand, scientists are involved in the ethical evaluation of the results of their own research. However, the results of scientific pursuits are capable of producing immediate effects on the daily life of every human being. Consequently, alongside the scientists, people feel strongly about their need and their right to contribute to an accurate assessment of the effects of science on society. This is a collection of essays reflecting a considerable range of different cultural experiences and different ethical underpinnings. The main subject is cloning. Cloning is the most accessible and most readily perceived point of convergence from which ethical judgments on the current developments of scientific investigations can be proposed. Cloning is also the `paradox' on which the confrontation between scientific research and popular imagination is focused.Nijhoff law specials ;52.CloningMoral and ethical aspectsBioethicsMedical ethicsCloningMoral and ethical aspects.Bioethics.Medical ethics.174/.957Mazzoni Cosimo Marco109037MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827397603321Ethics and law in biological research4200397UNINA
