species‚ whether they be human or non-human‚ is ethically and morally wrong. Scientists and ethicists alike have debated the implications of human and non-human cloning extensively since 1997 when scientists at the Roslin Institute in Scotland produced Dolly. No direct conclusions have been drawn‚ but compelling arguments state that cloning of both human and non-human species results in harmful physical and psychological effects on both groups. The following issues dealing with cloning and its ethical

Human Cloning Doctor Jerome Kassirer once said‚ “I’m willing to hold off completely on any kind of human cloning‚ but I’m not willing to hold off on research that could yield enormous therapeutic benefit.” Human cloning is a controversial topic in science and medicine. While some are all for human cloning‚ others disregard the idea all together because they see the con’s before they can understand the major advantages of pros. But what exactly is human cloning?

An individual’s sense of belonging is significantly determined by external influences. These external forces can have dramatic impacts on an individual’s ability to associate and conform to differing groups in society. Jane Harrison’s ‘Rainbow’s End’ epitomizes this concept through the struggle of three indigenous women to belong to place or family. Gabriele Muccino’s film ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’ also embodies the same ideas about how external influences distinguish between belonging and isolation

The first cloned animal attempt‚ the cloning of a ewe lamb named Dolly‚ took multiple trials before the scientists found an embryo that actually matured. Although cloning was successful‚ a number of abnormalities presented in the animal and due to premature aging‚ it died early. (Jaenisch 2004) stated that cloned animals

Many people first heard of cloning when Dolly the Sheep showed up on the scene in 1997. Artificial cloning technologies have been around for much longer than Dolly‚ though. There are two ways to make an exact genetic copy of an organism in a lab: artificial embryo twinning and somatic cell nuclear transfer. 1. Artificial Embryo Twinning Artificial embryo
