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

Recent scientific breakthroughs on the cloning of cells‚ both human and others‚ have sparked many debates regarding the moral repercussions that might arise as result of careless and unsupervised cloning. In a letter to the editor published in ‘The Age’ on April the 22nd 2015‚ Mr Bruce Banner argued that the cloning of animals and possibly humans as well is a ‘dangerous and frightening’ threat that should not be allowed to continue and be studied any further. With a contrasting view to

years‚ scientists have been experimenting in the field of cloning. Cloning uses an egg cell and a somatic cell to make a duplicate copy of the organism. It is currently a highly controversial topic in the scientific world. Many people can benefit from cloning. From farmers to patients‚ not only does cloning help scientists discover more about genetics‚ it will also help a lot of people. However‚ there are also ethical issues with cloning‚ such as the use of embryonic stem cells and cross-species

Cloning is a very big mystery and is also an up and coming topic in the science industry. Cloning can be used to either clone a human or any other animal without changing the genetic makeup of the parent one. It can be used therapeutically as well. Cloning when done carefully is an amazing thing and the possibilities are endless. Don’t get carried away with this but it could potentially lead to the cure of cancer. Why should we just keep a perfect gene makeup to one individual if a family were to

There are many benefits to cloning people‚ animals and plants. There are lots of ways in which cloning can be beneficial to us. A few examples of how cloning can help us solve problems are by genetically producing humans to test out new medicine for diseases‚ cloning organs for transplants‚ weapons‚ and help us in war. This can also benefit us in farming. We can create new plants‚ fruits‚ vegetables‚ and flowers. This would help starvation in third world countries. Cloning animals also has benefits

Cloning describes a number of processes used to create genetically identical copies of a biological entity. Although these processes can occur naturally‚ such as in some plants and or bacteria‚ the type of cloning that is most known is the ‘artificially copying a whole organism’ cloning. According to the National Institutes of Health‚ scientists remove a mature somatic cell‚ any type of cell‚ except a sperm or egg cell‚ from the animal the scientists desire to copy. The chosen DNA is then transferred

There is a certain point however‚ when we have to reevaluate just how much we should allow these new technologies to take over our lives. Human cloning holds extraordinary capabilities that definitely have the power to change our lives and the lives of future generations.

The Possibilities of Cloning By many cloning is viewed as humans going into divine territory‚ however cloning is so much more. It is a window to the past and hope for the future. Cloning has the potential bring loved ones back to life after an accident or violent crime‚ as well as allowing personal organs to be grown so people no longer die awaiting a life saving transplant‚ and it could allow women who are unable to bear children to
