Question 1

According to Hanley, "Clones are no more likely to be turned into brainwashed armies than we non-clones are (sadly, they will be no less likely to, either). Clones are no more or less likely to lack ..."

Accepted Answer

According to Hanley, clones are no more likely to lack autonomy than non-clones. Therefore, the best choice is A, autonomy.

Question 2

According to Hanley, "there is nothing _________ to human cloning which justifies the repugnance which many feel toward it."

Accepted Answer

The correct word to fill in the blank, based on the context of the sentence, is "intrinsic," which means inherent or essential. The sentence suggests that there is no inherent quality to human cloning that justifies the strong negative reaction many people have toward it.

Question 3

According to Hanley, "Like any new reproductive technology, the cloning of entire human organisms can be put to good or bad effect, for good or bad reasons."

Accepted Answer

Hanley acknowledges that cloning technology can have both positive and negative outcomes depending on how it is used and the motivations behind its development.

Question 4

According to Hanley, a very common intuition concerning the putative wrongness of human cloning is "the description of cloning as 'replication' rather than 'reproduction,' with the implication that cloning is a threat to humanity."

Accepted Answer

The answer of According to Hanley, a very common intuition...

Question 5

According to Hanley, "We certainly have no evidence that God generally disapproves of alternatives (e.g., bicycles) to his more direct gifts (e.g., legs). So such claims cannot reasonably be used to argue for the existence of God."

Question 6

According to Hanley, "Another God-given candidate for the missing ingredient might be the soul. It might then be supposed that clones will be something less than fully-fledged persons. This is a very serious error, and if many are tempted to make it, we are in much more trouble than Dolly can bring us."

Accepted Answer

Hanley argues that it would be a serious error to suppose that clones are something less than fully-fledged persons due to their potential lack of a soul.

Question 7

Hanley says, "It might be supposed that human cloning presents a threat to personal identity, to individual uniqueness. But even were the genetic determinists or Lamarckians correct, and the clone were physically and psychologically identical to the donor, still the result would be a numerically distinct person from the donor."

Accepted Answer

Despite being physically and psychologically identical to the donor, a clone would still be a distinct person with their own separate identity.

Question 8

According to Hanley, "Clones are no more likely to be turned into brainwashed armies than we non-clones are (sadly, they will be no less likely to, either). Clones are no more or less likely to lack autonomy."

Accepted Answer

Hanley states that clones are not more or less likely to be turned into brainwashed armies or lack autonomy, meaning they have the same likelihood as non-clones.

Question 9

According to Hanley, "there is nothing intrinsic to human cloning which justifies the repugnance which many feel toward it."

Accepted Answer

Hanley argues that the negative attitudes towards human cloning are not based on inherent characteristics of cloning, but rather on social and cultural factors.

Question 10

According to Hanley, a very common intuition concerning the putative wrongness of human cloning is "the description of cloning as 'replication' rather than 'reproduction,' with the implication that cloning is a threat to uniqueness." What is Hanley's criticism of this position?
