What is the difference between fusion cell cloning and adult cell cloning?
What I think is that fusion cell cloning is when an empty ovum has any sort of cell fused into it by a mild electric shock, while adult cell cloning is only when a sperm is taken from an adult cell is fused into the empty ovum.
What effect will cloning have on the gene pool?
...it doesn't.......that's all i got. Cloning actually can help us. When we clone an organ or tissue, it can replace an old or broken one. Other than that when people start cloning an entire organism, it raises moral, legal, and social issues. Cloning also has huge risks and a high rate of failure.
What Is Wrong With Cloning?
Definitely. It's not even right to clone any humans.
When did human cloning begin?
Natural cloning has been around as long as humans. When a fertilized egg splits to create two or more identical embryos a clone is created. We refer to those clones as "twins" or "triplets", etc. Humans first cloned a sheep in the year 1996. Since then speculation about the viability of artificially cloning a human has been hotly debated but no one has shown any verifiable success. The technology exists to make it a possibility, so it is likely that some laboratories have made serious attempts or will at some time in the near future.
Is stem cell research still cloning?
Cloning is asexual reproduction. There are all kinds of research that can be done on stem cells without creating any actual embryo or causing the gestation of an embryo in order to give birth to a new organism.
Where has human cloning gone wrong?
It has Never worked. For those people who think cloning a human being is a bad idea, the failure to clone a human being is great. For those who want to clone humans, it has been a 100% failure so far. Cloning a human being has never worked in the past. Considering that cloning animals often results in "Mistakes" that have to be disposed of; it is probable that any attempts to clone a Human Being will result in a Lot of Mistakes that have to be done away with.
Why is it human cloning should not be allowed?
So far cloning has proven to be really difficult.Behind each sucessful animal clone there are hundreds, if not thousands of failed attempts. And out of those that actually make it, science isn't as yet entirely certain if they're OK, or if they have/had any built-in weaknesses. Given the odds, I think it's suitable not to allow human cloning. Ignoring everything else, there's just such a risk of creating a messed up individual, which wouldn't be particularly fair.
Can Any body give any really good info on Human Cloning like videos and links?
There is a Science Channel show that had an episode based on it
Is the nuclear bomb risk greater than any other risk to the human species?
uuummm i guess so
Do clones have to eat?
If a healthy human clone would exist (they don't as of yet, since cloning is quite difficult to do and human cloning is illegal in most nations), it would need to eat. This is because the clone is still a human being and as such it has the same basic needs such as food, oxygen etc. It will also have feelings and be capable of thought just like any other human.
What is physiological consciousness?
Physiological consciousness refers to the awareness and perception of internal states and bodily sensations. It involves the brain's ability to process and respond to signals from the body, such as hunger, pain, and temperature, to regulate various physiological functions. This awareness is integral for maintaining homeostasis and ensuring the body's survival.
Are there human clones on this earth?
You have asked if there are any human clones. Technically there are no human clones because it is illegal to do so. Human cloning is illegal because people might use them for their own good and treat them in a bad way. Another reason is that if human cloning happens, then there might be a return to serfdom. These are the main reasons why there cant be cloning and if there is no cloning or not. [Illegal in the US and most countries. Technically the cloning of a human is far more difficult than cloning of sheep, cattle and mice. But not impossible. It is only a matter of time before it happens.
How does the cloning of cows affect the cows?
Cloning is in fact nothing more than identical twins. Thus, cloning of cows do not affect cows in any sort of way.
What are the ethical issues related to cloning?
It depends which species we are talking about. Cloning of animals and plants does not raise any new ethical issues. Cloning of human beings (which so far has not been done) raises new ethical issues. What is the legal status of cloned people - will they be granted all the same rights as other human beings? Will they be mass produced to be used as soldiers, slaves, etc.? Who will raise them? Will they be genetically modified? If so, are they still people? And so forth.
Why don't people want to clone?
Much nonsense has be published concerning cloning. Mainly by the uneducated and ignorant. Cloning can do little, if any, harm
Advantages and disadvantages of cloning of human?
Cloning is the process of making an identical copy of something. In Biology, it collectively refers to processes used to create copies of DNA fragments (molecular cloning), cells (cell cloning), or organisms. The term also covers when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually. advantage Main article: Somatic cell nuclear transfer Somatic cell nuclear transfer can also be used to create a clonal embryo. The most likely purpose for this is to produce embryos for use in research, particularly stem cell research. This process is also called "research cloning" or "therapeutic cloning." The goal is not to create cloned human beings, but rather to harvest stem cells that can be used to study human development and to potentially treat disease. While a clonal human blastocyst has been created, stem cell lines are yet to be isolated from a clonal source The term clone is used in horticulture to mean all descendants of a single plant, produced by vegetative reproduction or apomixis. Many horticultural plant cultivars are clones, having been derived from a single individual, multiplied by some process other than sexual reproduction Clonal derivation exists in nature in some animal species and is referred to as parthenogenesis. An example is the "Little Fire Ant" (Wasmannia auropunctata), which is native to Central and South America but has spread throughout many tropical environments.Many people are for human cloning for many reasons. The most powerful advantage of human cloning is that defective genes would not cause any more illness in human beings. Cloning might be the cure for the most powerful diseases such as cancer, AIDS, Diabetes, stroke, etc. Cloning of cell tissue can take a good cell from existing tissue and grow cloned tissue from it, therefore damaged cells can be replaced. Cloning could also help the infertile have children that are truly their own and not bein disadvantage Furthermore, in cloning Dolly, it resulted in the death of many embryos and newborns before success achieved. (The Dolly experiment started with 277 fused eggs, of which only 29 became embryos. All the embryos were transferred to 13 sheep. 1 became pregnant with Dolly.) In addition, even if the human clone survived, it is not guaranteed that it would develop normally. The genetic material in cloning Dolly came from a 6 year old mammal (what is an old stage of sheep). Dolly's chromosomes could be found in older animals only. This finding made scientists start wondering whether Dolly, looking totally normal from its appearance, might have inherited genetic damage that would be shown in older age only or some other abnormalism. Human cloning transgresses nature, because it is not via the natural reproductive process, which is by a man and a woman. Human cloning is creating life. Inhumane Cloning may arouses social side effects. It is ridiculous that reproduction is separated from love and other human relationship. The entire world may use cloning for eugenics that would lead to efforts to selectively breed children who are of more intelligent, heavier and extraordinary. There are also medical disadvantages in human cloning, which make the benefits less effective. It was first thought that stem cells could only be harvested from embryos, but today?s researchers are finding that any human cell can be manipulated to replace any tissue of the body.
Should genetic research involving cloning be practiced in this country?
genetic research generally involves cloning, as in cloning unicellular organisms and some animals but cloning humans is not allowed and should not be allowed. in a nut shell genetic research involving cloning should not be practiced in any country because a lot of people disabuse opportunities given to them.
