.............. Pg.8 The highly controversial cloning debate is outlined by looking at different studies and past findings. A brief overview of cloning as well as a short history are given. Next, the useful aspects of cloning are touched upon focusing on the great benefits that would arise should cloning become legalized. Lastly, both the logistical and ethical problems associated with cloning are summarized. Ultimately, society as a whole has to make this decision because

WINTER BREAK: HOMEWORK What is cloning? Cloning at first was just an idea in scientist’s minds but soon a revolution of ideas and experiments took place. Scientist’s started to develop this brain thought that cloning could be possible in human lives. However, what is cloning? Well, cloning is the creation of an organism with the same exact DNA of another organism. An example, of this is Dolly the sheep. She was clone by an adult somatic cell. She was known as the “most famous sheep in the world”

Cloning is the process of creating genetically copies of biological matter, which may include genes, cells, tissues or entire organisms. A genetic copy of a sequence of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of the entire genome of organism. Cloning occurs naturally with the birth of twins or other multiples. The term “cloning” is the transplantation of a nucleus from a somatic cell into an ovum, which then develops into an embryo. A cell or organism derived through asexual (without sex) reproduction

is completely unknown, but could be completely subtle. The way that science has been advancing, our fate could be caused by genetic engineering. Our society could collapse because of cloning. Cloning is copying DNA data, and recreating a living thing to a replica of the original, both in appearance and traits. Cloning can be done on animals, food and crops, and humans, including organs. The terms, “playing God”, refers to creating new branches from species, or creating a completely new species. Examples

Cloning Cloning occurs naturally in some plants and in human identical twins, and it is now possible to clone animals artificially. The subject of cloning raises a number of issues which need to be taken into consideration. Cloning is rapidly emerging as one of the most controversial and emotion-laden of topics in today’s world. To clone or not to clone: that is the million-dollar question. The prospect of cloning is highly controversial and raises a number of ethical, legal and social challenges

Cloning is the process of creating “a genetic copy of a sequence of DNA or of the entire genome of an organism”(Stanford Encyclopedia). In fact, there are different types of cloning for various purposes, which include, not limited to molecular cloning, reproductive cloning, and embryo cloning. The announcement of the cloned innocent lamb caused worldwide concerns and panic and there is much controversy

a clone of a beloved animal? With the advances in technology this could be biologically possible. Great right? Well, unfortunately lots of things can go wrong in the process of cloning. Cloning is unethical because the high risks of defects and complications and the overall abnormality of the idea. To start with, cloning is highly experimental and even as there have been successes most don't live the same as they normally would if they weren't clone. In the article “Animal Clones: Double Trouble

been produced by cloning methods and was born to a surrogate mother (“Cloning Fact Sheet”). The methods used to clone Dolly were once considered to be biologically impossible (Wilmut and Highfield 12). Thus, once Dolly’s birth was announced to the rest of the world, an immediate debate over the ethics of cloning began. In particular, reproductive cloning was widely discussed because it could possibly be accomplished through somatic cell nuclear transfer to clone entire humans (“Cloning Fact Sheet”).

Artificially reproducing cells will unlock a massive gate towards understanding the complexity of life and ultimately towards curing all illness and disease. Work on cloning techniques such as somatic cell nuclear transfer and induced pluripotent stem cells are allowing us to increase our understanding on developmental biology. We can observe the short and naturally rarely occurring embryonic stage repeatedly and accurately

Reintroduction in the form of cloning is potential threat to biodiversity in Australia with cloning causing many problems at birth; arthritis, health problems, early aging, infertility and still births (Philipkoski, 2002). Infertility is a problem because it defeats the purpose of repopulating of a species; it does not allow the species to reproduce. However, cloning can help improve the gene pool and populate a species from extinct to extant. The woolly mammoth is currently being examined to walk

Cloning is a very controversial topic in the eyes of the public. Cloning the human body will be very beneficial to society for many reasons. Cloning can be used to save many lives that have been ruined due to many different circumstances. Most people disagree with cloning for religious beliefs, which is a very ignorant reason to disagree with cloning. Cloning can become the best science in the world, if we just gave it a chance. Cloning has endless potential, if we legalize it one-hundred percent

whether cloning is the right step to advance in the science world. As research and experiments thrive with the advancement of technology and science, we are getting closer to the inevitable reality of cloning. Today, the question remains unanswered whether to, “clone or not to clone”. Under the Webster Dictionary the definition of cloning is, “the aggregate of genetically identical cells or organisms asexually produced by or from a single progenitor cell or organism”.

Human cloning Many couples across the world have had problems with conceiving a child, this may have be due to the fact that they are infertile. Cloning gives them hope in enabling them to have their own child because with the help of the surrogate mother, she can have a child of her own using her own DNA or her husbands. This is a very difficult choice for people because they never know the outcome because child may have complications with could have an effect on their health. For example in 1997

CLONING Cloning is the process of taking cells from a donor, placing them in a culture dish where the nutrients are minimal, so the cells stop dividing and switch their "active genes". The cells are then put next to an unfertilized egg. The nucleus is sucked out of the egg leaving an empty egg cell containing all the cellular machinery necessary to produce an embryo. An electric shock is used to fuse the egg and cell together. A second shock is then used to mimic the act of fertilization and help

Kids at a young age think cloning is cool because they make movies to make it seem ok, but that isn’t the case. Cloning is a scientific experiment that is going to ruin humanity on earth. People and scientist think it is ok because they see the good effects behind it, but they don’t see the bad. Cloning has so many bad effects it is just that life threatening so I think cloning should be destroyed.

simple fact that cloning is relevent in the scientific world is insane. There are so many possibilities that come along with cloning, negative and positive. Cloning can either turn out for the best, with a successful clone and a proper use for it. Or it can go bad, with an experiment gone wrong, a messed up clone, and nothing to do with it or any way to get rid of it. Whenever a scientist clones a living creature they usually have a set plan for it afterwards, depndeding on if the cloning was a success

There are a number of proper and spiritual issues surrounding human cloning, and many countries have banned human cloning, research into procedures which are designed to result in cloned humans.

Cloning is a relatively new concept to the world but, as with most things of this nature, it creates controversy through Religion, playing God, killing of embryos and their sexual orientation are just some reasons people are against the process and study of cloning; however, there are people who love the thought and concept of creation because curing of
