Introduction Throughout our studies we have discussed the various human rights violations that have occurred historically.

Outside the lab where the cloning had actually taken place‚ most of us thought it could never happen. Oh we would say that perhaps at some point in the distant future‚ cloning might become feasible through the use of sophisticated biotechnologies far beyond those available to us now. But what we really believed‚ deep in our hearts‚ was that this one biological feat we could never master. Dr. Lee M. Silver‚ 1997. On February 23‚ 1997‚ Doctor Ian Wilmut successfully cloned the world’s first mammal

Cloning‚ especially cloning humans‚ can be a very beneficial field of research and presents lots of opportunities to do good. The science in embryonic cloning has progressed a long way since the release of therapeutic cloning practices and the birth of cloned organism. The processes opens new opportunities in the fields of medicine‚ scientific research‚ and has several uses in the future when there are more advanced practices that are even more efficient and safer with fewer restrictions.
