QUESTIONS FOR THE ESSAY How might we live?

Should we aim for contentment, knowledge,

virtue, or the creation of beautiful things instead?Assuming we opt for bliss, will it be our own or the
joy of all?

Like the dew on a dawn, this life we have is very brief and will vanish as soon as the sun
rises.Death will knock on our doors at any time, and we won't know when.Therefore, before we meet
him, we ought to know how our lives should be lived and act accordingly.How ought we to live?”If we
want to live our lives to the fullest and without regret, we must answer this crucial
question.Everyone's goal in life is to have a happy life.A happiness that lasts for a long time and is
comparable to prosperity and contentment.Being virtuous, acting like a good man, upholding virtues
like honesty, generosity, courage, and other virtueswould assist us in achieving genuine happiness,
not only for ourselves but also for others.

2.In a good cause, is dishonesty acceptable?

I questioned myself as I stumbled upon this question.Is it ethically acceptable to lie for a
legitimate reason?According to Kantian ethics, lying can be viewed as a threat to society. This means
that you are not allowed to violate the moral law, even if others are doing so for a really good
cause.There, I considered the opposite.There appear to be a few situations in which lying appears to
be the most moral option.In addition, if a sufficiently broad definition of "lying" is accepted, it appears
impossible to avoid lying, either due to examples of self-misleading or the social development of our
persona.Being dishonest is morally acceptable at times.We often think of being moral as doing the
right thing for oneself, but I think it goes beyond that.Lies can sometimes be advantageous to society
as a whole if we concentrate more on those around us.Since something terrible will occur if you do
not lie, I believe that lying is the explanation for lying that garners the most sympathy from
others.Lies to protect a murderer's intended victim and to avoid death or serious injury are two
examples.Because they prevent more serious harm from occurring, these lies are thought to be less
harmful than other falsehoods;They are essentially comparable to various forms of supported self-
defense or victim defense.

5.Is it wrong for medical researchers to clone or kill human embryos?

- As I'm writing this scratch, I'm lost in my own thoughts and wondering: Is it okay to create
such a developing human being only to destroy it?Many of us are debating whether it is ethical to
clone or even kill human embryos for medical research.Since Dolly the sheep, the first animal to be
cloned, died, this has been debated for a long time. Since then, a number of medical and research
organizations have said they are willing to try cloning humans.According to the readings I've done,
Advanced Cell Technology (ACT), a small biotech company in Worcester, Massachusetts, claimed on
November 27, 2001, that it had created the first cloned human embryo. This brought two highly
contentious topics together.This news has sparked a lot of controversy because it raises questions
about the moral responsibility of those in charge when it comes to the use of human embryos for
cloning.As a result, they would be able to utilize the DNA of patients in need of treatment to generate
stem cells for therapeutic purposes.If stem cells from genetically distinct sources are utilized, the issue
of immunologic rejection that results would be resolved in this manner.Human cloning raises a
number of ethical questions, from consent to the results and vulnerability of having two copies of the
same person.Human hereditary variety and decent variety are also diminished as a result of cloning,
which is a cycle of creating indistinguishable traits.Examining a clone's rights presents challenges.Is it
true that they are only there to donate organs, or do they also reserve a right to life and the pursuit of
bliss?How can one assess a clone's expectations and determine who is responsible for any outcomes it
produces?These are extreme questions that make it appear impossible that human cloning will ever
become possible.The objective of the medical treatment is outweighed by ethical considerations.The
process of cloning humans and the possible outcomes do not, in my opinion, have the potential to
benefit the majority of society in a positive way.With this, I oppose cloning, which is even worse than
destroying human embryos.
