Human Cloning Introduction and History Human cloning involves creating a genetically identical copy of a human being‚ artificially and asexually. The most common practice of cloning is somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). This involves introducing the nucleus of a somatic cell from a donor into an egg that has had its DNA removed‚ followed by transferring the now fertilised egg into a foster mother for the development of the clone. The cloning of humans has been an extremely controversial topic

copy of an organism. Scientists attempted to clone animals for many years. In fact‚ there are hundreds of cloned animals existing today. It started in 1952 when a tadpole was cloned. But worldwide attention and concerns only aroused in 1997 when Ian Wilmut and his colleagues at Roslin Institute in Scotland were able to clone a lamb‚ named Dolly (Bonsor and Conger‚ n.d.). People began to think for the possibility of using the same procedure to humans. No question human cloning ethics has become a great

The Benefits of Human Cloning There are many ways in which in which human cloning is expected to benefit mankind. Below is a list that is far from complete. • Dr. Richard Seed‚ one of the leading proponents of human cloning technology‚ suggests that it may someday be possible to reverse the aging process because of what we learn from cloning. • Human cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning

The Risk and Challenges of Human Cloning. Now that a dog and a sheep has been cloned‚ can human cloning be that far behind? How is cloning important to future therapeutic medical advances‚ such as safe organ transplant? Human cloning research holds the answer to these questions. But still‚ the development of human cloning are slow and tough as it faces great challenges from the society that concern about moral and ethical abuse that the fallout of human cloning may produce.

Animal Cloning Taken Too Far Technological and medical developments over the last century have allowed scientists to create life through cloning. There has been extensive debate as to whether or not cloning should be legal. Many argue that cloning allows for further scientific research on animal medical innovations‚ and new opportunities at livestock agriculture (Wells). Although there seems to be benefits to cloning‚ are these benefits worth the cost? Animals involved in cloning often suffer. Research

Though out many years‚ movies and television shows such as Star Wars‚ Star Trek‚ and many others have enlightened our imagination on cloning organisms. Today‚ it appears that this idea that looked unreachable‚ now seems to be within our grasp due to our technological leap in genomic science. But we are not interested in just regular cloning‚ we want to reach for the stars and successfully be able to produce copies of not just other animals‚ but humans as well. This turns to the new scientific phenomenon

When most people think of cloning‚ they think of a scientist that uses DNA to make an exact replica of someone . Cloning is a lot more complicated and more controversial than that . According to the American Heritage Dictionary Cloning is defined as “A group of cells‚ or organism that is descended from and genetically identical to a common ancestor ‚ such as a bacterial colony whose members arose from a single original cell .
