Charles Krauthammer, the author of ?Crossing Lines: A Secular Argument Against Research Cloning?, claims that research cloning is a dangerous practice that could open the door to severe exploitation of human life.

He strongly believes that we should be aware of and careful to prevent less than ethical actions that may arise from certain individuals conducting such research.
Krauthammer uses effective arguments when supporting his claim on research cloning. He explains the processes involved in stem-cell research, research cloning, and reproductive cloning.

He then persuades his audience by reasoning with them and elaborating on three main examples that cause the audience to get involved or take a...
