The cloning of any species‚ whether it be human or non-human‚ is ethically and morally wrong. Scientists and ethicists have debated the implications of human and non-human cloning extensively since 1997 when scientists at the Roslin Institute in Scotland produced a cloned sheep named Dolly.

I will address the issue

The tarsier inhabits the Philippine islands of Southeast Asia. These areas are covered in tropical

Even nonhuman primates such as monkeys and chimpanzees need social contact with others of their species in order to develop properly. As we will see‚ appropriate social contact is even more important for humans. -Isolation and Nonhuman Primates Researchers have attempted to demonstrate the effects of social isolation on nonhuman primates raised without contact with others of their own species.

Over the centuries this has been one of great interest and a question that has been widely debated and will continue to be widely debated for years to come. As social scientist look more into this topic at hand they find that human DNA only varies 1-2% from chimpanzees our closet relative.
