By definition clones occur only in organisms capable of asexual reproduction and consist of genetically identical individuals”. There has been a successful recorded experiment which regard to cloning‚ although it was just an animal (a sheep to be more specific)‚ there has been speculations that Human Cloning is not

reproductive cloning among humans. Advantages of reproductive cloning could be seeing what people looked like from earlier times such as former United States presidents. Reproductive cloning would have no advantages because it would be a different person in someone else’s body. Reproductive cloning is not very effective with humans‚ or a lot of animals. Scientist have cloned two endangered animals that did have a successful birth‚ but they died shortly after the birth (Cloning Fact). There

options that’s why I chose human cloning as my topic for my stranger than science fiction report. Human cloning is a reproduction of human cells that genetically created as a copy of a human being. The possibility of cloning humans became serious back in the 1960’s. Cloning was outlawed in many places around the world. In 1998 over thirty years later the first hybrid human clone was created using SCNT by Advanced Cell Technology. There are 2 methods of human cloning one being SNCT which refers to

On the other hand‚ there are quite a few cons that potentially outweigh the pros of cloning humans. The first con is that human cloning is unnatural. According to Lombardo‚ “many feel that interfering with the natural process of pro-creation would lead to other attributes of life being altered” or displaced from society.

In the book they don’t call it cloning but instead they call it the Bokanovsky’s process. The novel’s definition of the Bokanovsky’s Process is when they take

rate Cloning animals through somatic cell nuclear transfer is simply inefficient. The success rate ranges from 0.1 percent to 3 percent‚ which means that for every 1000 tries‚ only one to 30 clones are made. Or you can look at it as 970 to 999 failures in 1000 tries. That’s a lot of effort with only a speck of a return! http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/tech/cloning/cloningrisks/ The risk of producing individuals with developmental anomalies is serious and precludes human cloning for
