Question 1:
Is human cloning a good or bad idea?
Response 1:
Bad.
Response 2:
Depends who you want to clone.
Response 3:
Human cloning is a bad idea because it is unethical.
Question 2:
What makes people human?
Response 1:
Consciousness, uniqueness, competence, intelligence
Response 2:
If they evolved from another human
Response 3:
A being capable of complex thought and emotions
Question 3:
How does cloning change the value of human life?
Response 1:
If a person is cloned, that takes away a key factor of what
makes people human: uniqueness. No two people are exactly the same so if
someone is cloned, the individuality in the world is taken away.
Response 2:
It makes one’s original life less significant
Response 3:
The clone is considered a specimen/experiment more than it
is considered human. If humans can just be casually “made” then the value of
life is decreased.
As
you can see, all three interviewees were mostly against human cloning. When
asking people my questions I decided to write the question out and let then
answer at their own leisure. When answering the first question person two had
written depends who you want to clone followed by saying out loud I definitely
wouldn’t clone that idiot while pointing to Trump. All of my interviewees were
female and majoring in some type of science. Based on the few responses I
received it’s safe to say not all people are ok with human
cloning. In the end I wasn’t surprise with the answers I got, if everyone was
for human cloning then we would be doing more often and it would be on the news
more. When looking at the types of questions I asked, question one gave the
responder a choice to say good or bad without further explanation. This
question was not a good research question because of this. Question two also
was quite difficult for my three interviewees. When asked the question of what
makes a human human, two of the three started off by saying I can’t really
explain it. This question might not be the best research question when looking
for a specific answer because there isn’t one. Question three came very easily
to the three of them, with them all saying the clone is less unique and the
person who was cloned is also less unique. Out of the three question I believe
question two was the best though. It’s a question which doesn’t have one
correct answer which leaves room for your own input.
