Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Animal Genetics
  • Reproductive Technologies

Context:

  • Public debate surrounds animal cloning and genetic engineering.
  • The concept of intrinsic value is central to ethical discussions on these technologies.
  • Intrinsic value, contrasted with instrumental use, gained prominence in the 1970s.

Purpose:

  • To explore the ethical implications of animal cloning and genetic engineering.
  • To analyze the concept of intrinsic value in light of new biotechnologies.
  • To discuss the consequences of recognizing intrinsic value in animal ethics.

Summary:

  • The study examines the ethical debate on animal cloning and genetic engineering, focusing on intrinsic value.
  • It introduces 'ability to function independently' and 'naturalness' to clarify intrinsic value.
  • The author concludes that these technologies violate an animal's intrinsic value, citing the case of transgenic bull Herman.

Impact:

  • Provides a framework for ethical assessment of animal biotechnologies.
  • Highlights the conflict between technological advancement and animal welfare.
  • Informs public discourse and policy regarding genetic modification and cloning in animals.
