Human cloning creates questions about the soul‚ the role of god in society‚ and even the quality of life that a cloned person would have (Health Research Funding). Cloning is a number of different processes that produce identical copies of DNA. There are three different types of cloning: gene cloning‚ reproductive cloning‚ and therapeutic cloning. Gene cloning is the process where copies

What would you think if you were to able to talk to an exact clone of yourself?

Should Cloning be legal and if yes? Should both Therapeutic and reproductive cloning be allowed? Human Cloning is a duplicate of another human by using their own genes. A cloned egg is let to mature till early the embryotic stage and then is injected back into the womb for gestation‚ after it is born it is officially known as a clone. It is the artificial way of reproducing another human’s cells and tissue. Human Cloning is a contentious topic among people‚ the fear of the unknown has left cloning

experiment on our DNA? Cloning is the process of replacing the DNA of an egg with the DNA of a living organism. In 1997 the first living clone was created‚ which brought various questions about the cloning of humans. The main purpose of our reproductive system is to create new life‚ but we have subjected it‚ specifically human eggs‚ to experimentation. Human cloning is a direct violation of what makes us who we are‚ our DNA. By learning more about the complications of cloning and how scientists are

Animal cloning is a scientific process where an exact copy of an animal is created‚ meaning that the two animals have the same exact DNA. There are many reasons animal cloning is a major issue‚ but there are also many reasons why it could be helpful. Animal cloning can lead to superior animals‚ controlled testing‚ organ harvesting‚ preservation‚ and other scientific
