years‚ scientists have been experimenting in the field of cloning. Cloning uses an egg cell and a somatic cell to make a duplicate copy of the organism. It is currently a highly controversial topic in the scientific world. Many people can benefit from cloning. From farmers to patients‚ not only does cloning help scientists discover more about genetics‚ it will also help a lot of people. However‚ there are also ethical issues with cloning‚ such as the use of embryonic stem cells and cross-species

Recent scientific breakthroughs on the cloning of cells‚ both human and others‚ have sparked many debates regarding the moral repercussions that might arise as result of careless and unsupervised cloning. In a letter to the editor published in ‘The Age’ on April the 22nd 2015‚ Mr Bruce Banner argued that the cloning of animals and possibly humans as well is a ‘dangerous and frightening’ threat that should not be allowed to continue and be studied any further. With a contrasting view to

Cloning describes a number of processes used to create genetically identical copies of a biological entity. Although these processes can occur naturally‚ such as in some plants and or bacteria‚ the type of cloning that is most known is the ‘artificially copying a whole organism’ cloning. According to the National Institutes of Health‚ scientists remove a mature somatic cell‚ any type of cell‚ except a sperm or egg cell‚ from the animal the scientists desire to copy. The chosen DNA is then transferred

The Possibilities of Cloning By many cloning is viewed as humans going into divine territory‚ however cloning is so much more. It is a window to the past and hope for the future.

Before the famous Dolly the Sheep‚ cloning was not quite what it is considered today. The first example that could be considered “cloning” took place in 1885. Hans Adolf Edward Dreisch discovered that if he shook the two-celled embryos of sea urchins‚ the cells could separate and grow into two identical sea urchins. A couple decades later in 1902‚ Hans Spemann decided to find out if he could do the same‚ this time with salamander embryos. These embryos were stickier than those of sea urchins so

Be that as it may‚ we have no privilege to pick and pick our hereditary legacy. What alarms many individuals who are worried about cloning is that cloning can make a specific sort of human. The dependence on control the hereditary qualities or attributes of one’s posterity coordinates to the moral issue. The ethical issue with conceptive cloning lies not in its abiogenetic character‚ but rather in its ambush on the comprehension of kids as endowments as opposed to belonging‚ or activities
