“Spotting Moral Theories and Key Moral Principles”

Assignment A:

Review the arguments made in the Executive Summary portion of the Presidential Council’s “Human Cloning and Human Dignity” Report that pertain to human cloning for biomedical research. Pay particular attention to “Position Number One” under the section of the Executive Summary found under subheading A “The Moral Case for Cloning-for-Biomedical-Research. With regard to said Position Number One” in support of cloning for biomedical research, write a 2-4 page essay that identifies the three theories used to advance their argument and explain how they used the principles of the each theory to support or make their arguments. Be sure to identify and explain the principles/keywords used in the report that support each theory identified, much like we did in this past week’s classes.
