TY - JOUR AB - <p>Therapeutic cloning for transplantations is one of the most complex<br />issues in Bioethics. This is because it involves two of the most controversial subjects in today's medicine: cloning and transplantations. Although therapeutic cloning is a modern issue in the scope of transplantations, we consider Aristotle's contribution to be of high importance. On a first level, we will describe the modem phenomenon of therapeutic cloning, concerning the medical technique itself, its aim, its use in transplantations and its core legal and political aspects. On a second level, the depth of Aristotelian concepts of nature, art and their interrelationship will enlighten crucial aspects of our discussion, concerning human health and medicine. On a third level, Aristotle's concept of matter will constitute the basis for the solution of the ethical problems of transplantation through therapeutic cloning. On a fourth level, the<br />Aristotelian concept of practical wisdom, considered as a part of Politics, will provide us with practical guidance as to how decision-making and legislation should be utilised to support the appropriate use of therapeutic cloning; thus, it will become clear that it is a moral-law and moral-politic issue. Finally, we will address the moral objections to therapeutic cloning, establishing some fundamental elements for the building of consensus between different countries on this subject.</p><p><a href="http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1470662/1/1UCLJLJ63%20-%20Cloning.pdf">Read more</a></p> AU - Christos Labrou DA - 2011/10// IS - 1 VL - 1 PB - University College London (UCL) PY - 2011 TI - The Use of Therapeutic Cloning in Transplantations: An Aristotelian Perspective T2 - Journal of Law and Jurisprudence UR - https://student-journals.ucl.ac.uk/laj/article/id/717/ ER -
