Why this dilemma matters
There is no clean answer here — the dilemma forces a trade between two legitimate moral claims. Choosing “Sì: il potenziale terapeutico giustifica la creazione di vita umana che non raggiungerà mai la coscienza” prioritises a more principled outcome; choosing “No: anche un embrione clonato ha una dignità intrinseca che non può essere strumentalizzata” gives more weight to a more pragmatic outcome.
Worth asking yourself
- What cost are you more willing to accept?
- Which value should matter more here?
