The immorality of cloning Casey Chelchinskey 12S The classification of a "clone" is the genetic copy of a life form. Cloning is a topical South African issue which we are faced with in our lives. The laws in South Africa which govern genetic manipulation state that neither therapeutic nor reproductive cloning is accepted. I take a firm stand against cloning and I believe it is unjust‚ intolerable and destructive for the future of humanity. The birth of the cloned sheep‚ Dolly‚ resulted in

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

The rights of a fetus/embryo can be controversial which allows for the discussion to expand. Human rights are defined by stating that “[e]veryone’s right to life shall be protected by law” (Goldman‚ 2015). Now when applying this to a human all is well and everything is socially accepted‚ individuals know their boundaries and they are respected. Transitioning this to a fetus the situation gets blurred and controversy about how to distinguish whether an embryo/fetus is a human being‚ is brought up

Cloning occurs when a single cell from one parent organism begins to develop and divides. This development organism has the same make-up as its parent. We know that in sexual reproduction‚ it involves two parents. With sexually production organism

the need for a mothers’ womb or a sergeant mother‚ in what they are calling “the new fashioned way”: growing the embryo in an artificial womb. Doctors are developing artificial wombs in which embryos can grow outside woman’s body. The work has been hailed as a breakthrough in treating the childless. Scientists have created prototypes made out of cells extracted from women’s bodies. Embryos successfully attached themselves to the walls of these laboratory wombs and began to grow. However‚ experiments

Reproductive cloning is a technology used to generate an animal that has the same nuclear DNA as another currently or previously existing animal. Dolly was created by reproductive cloning technology. In a process called "somatic cell nuclear transfer" (SCNT)‚ scientists transfer genetic material from the nucleus of a donor adult cell to an egg whose nucleus‚ and thus its genetic material‚ has been removed. The reconstructed egg containing the DNA from a donor cell must be treated with chemicals or
