The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Cloning Since the cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1996‚ cloning has become something of a buzzword‚ especially in scientific circles. Formerly a staple of science fiction stories‚ it entered the public consciousness as it never had before. Not surprisingly it has generated controversy‚ with many of the objections coming religious organizations. Ethical implications aside however‚ there are however‚ advantages and disadvantages to the practice of cloning. Those listed

process of cloning. It is simply a form of asexual reproduction. Cloning is a big issue in todays world of science because of the potential benefits‚ the risks involved‚ and medical‚ ethical and religious conflicts. Plants and animals have already been cloned and stem cell research is already going ahead‚ and maybe one day science will be able to clone a human. The division of opinion on cloning will require many forums of discussion to cover all aspects. There are serval types of cloning‚ Reproductive

November 3‚ 2003 Disadvantages of Human Cloning - Loss of Human Identity Cloning has always been a subject whose thoughts both fascinates and frightens the world. On February 27‚ 1997‚ a stunning announcement appeared in the British journal Nature that rocked the scientific world: for the first time ever recorded‚ a mammal- a lamb named Dolly had been successfully cloned from an adult cell. Coinciding with this shocking proclamation‚ scientist reported the successful cloning of a rhesus monkey

risky right now. A particular worry is the possibility that the genetic material used from the adult will continue to age so that the genes in a newborn baby clone could be - say - 30 years old or more on the day of birth. Many attempts at animal cloning produced disfigured monsters with severe abnormalities. So that would mean creating cloned embryos‚ implanting them and destroying (presumably) those that look imperfect as they grow in the womb. However some abnormalities may not appear till after

Human Cloning Doctor Jerome Kassirer once said‚ “I’m willing to hold off completely on any kind of human cloning‚ but I’m not willing to hold off on research that could yield enormous therapeutic benefit.” Human cloning is a controversial topic in science and medicine. While some are all for human cloning‚ others disregard the idea all together because they see the con’s before they can understand the major advantages of pros. But what exactly is human cloning?

technologic meaning‚ cloning is a transplantation of an entire nucleus and not of specific genes‚ it is nevertheless an attempt to produce a child with certain traits. Human cloning falls conceptually between 3 other technologies. And the types of cloning are reproductive‚ embryo and therapeutic cloning. (www.biology-online.org) It has some advantages and disadvantages. However‚ there are some ethical‚ social or legal discussions about human cloning. The first technology for cloning is reproductive technology

The cloning of humans is now very close to reality‚ thanks to the historic scientific breakthrough of Dr. Ian Wilmut and his colleagues in the UK. This possibility is one of incredible potential benefit for all of us. Unfortunately the initial debate on this issue has been dominated by misleading‚ sensationalized accounts in the news media and negative emotional reactions derived from inaccurate science fiction. Much of the negativity about human cloning is based simply on the breathtaking novelty

To consider the cloning of another human being forces me to question the very concepts of right and wrong that make us all human. <br> <br>Until the birth of Dolly the sheep‚ the first mammal to be successfully cloned‚ it was thought that the ability to clone an adult human was impossible or would only be possible somewhere in the distant future! But that has all changed with the birth of Dolly and the explosion of advances in the field of Embryology and genetic screening. These advances are leading

Cloning on Humans Over my years here at college‚ I have learned a lot about humans and how our bodies function. One of the classes that really stuck out to me and caught my interest was genetics. I enjoyed learning about our DNA and how it worked in terms of reproduction. A topic that we covered during the course of this class was on cloning. I learned about the different types of cloning and when the focus on our in class discussions was on reproductive and therapeutic cloning‚ I became
