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

Cloning is a very big mystery and is also an up and coming topic in the science industry. Cloning can be used to either clone a human or any other animal without changing the genetic makeup of the parent one. It can be used therapeutically as well. Cloning when done carefully is an amazing thing and the possibilities are endless. Don’t get carried away with this but it could potentially lead to the cure of cancer. Why should we just keep a perfect gene makeup to one individual if a family were to

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

There is a certain point however‚ when we have to reevaluate just how much we should allow these new technologies to take over our lives. Human cloning holds extraordinary capabilities that definitely have the power to change our lives and the lives of future generations. Would it benefit us to have the capability to clone a human being? Perhaps‚ but

There are many benefits to cloning people‚ animals and plants. There are lots of ways in which cloning can be beneficial to us. A few examples of how cloning can help us solve problems are by genetically producing humans to test out new medicine for diseases‚ cloning organs for transplants‚ weapons‚ and help us in war. This can also benefit us in farming. We can create new plants‚ fruits‚ vegetables‚ and flowers. This would help starvation in third world countries. Cloning animals also has benefits

interest in human cloning? Does science have ethical obligation to present the public with both the benefits and burdens of cloning research? Nowadays is about the issue of human cloning. Do we get the benefits from the human cloning? According the anonymous (2013)‚ it mentions “the advantages of cloning are also quite apparent: human cloning could very well lead to faster medical cures‚ a better overall quality of life‚ and even longer life spans”. Moreover‚ the goal of research cloning is to create

Today‚ science and technology has the ability to make this myth reality through the process of cloning. I am strongly against cloning for many reasons. People should not utilize cloning because it would destroy individuality and uniqueness‚ cause overpopulation‚ animal cruelty‚ it is against morals and ethics‚ and it violates many religious beliefs. In order to strongly argue against cloning‚ there must be an understanding of its process and what exactly it is. Simply stated‚ a clone is

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. Cloning has the potential bring loved ones back to life after an accident or violent crime‚ as well as allowing personal organs to be grown so people no longer die awaiting a life saving transplant‚ and it could allow women who are unable to bear children to

Cloning is asexual reproduction. Cuttings are taken from a mother plant in vegatative growth‚ and rooted in hydroponic medium to be grown as a separate plant. The offspring will be plants that are identical to the parent plant. Cloning preserves the character of your favorite plant. Cloning can make an ocean of green out of a single plant‚ so it is a powerful tool for growing large crops‚ and will fill a closet quickly with your favorite genetics. When you find the plant you want to be your "buddy"
