Blog 4- How did the first contemporary issue effect your principles? Did it challenge them? Were your principles helpful in working out your response to the issue? Which philosopher's position was most consistent with your own principles and why?
The first contemporary issue does not effect my principles at all. Although the Christian religion in which I was raised in does not accept human cloning, my own personal beliefs do not conflict with the contemporary issue. Christian believers are opposed to human cloning because of the question of morality and what is ethically right. My principles, however, are not exclusive to what is morally right. I think that we are all entitled to our own rights, as long as we are not hurting anyone. Also, human cloning does have beneficial factors. Such factors include: reversing mental illnesses, abolishing infertility, and stem cell research. I think that Tooley's position on human cloning is most consistent with my own principles. He focuses on the benefits of human cloning and believes that it should be morally allowed. We are all different, and one's belief should be able to different from someone else's.

i agree with you that people should be able to do what they want and try new things that could improve society as long as they aren't hurting anyone. I also side with Tooley and i think there would be more beneficial factors to cloning. Also if cloning doesn't work out we could stop doing it but we shouldn't prevent people from doing what they want.
