As with any ethical issue there are (at least) two sides to every debate, but in this case the terminology might confound the issue.
Cloning a gene simply means to make a copy of it and put it somewhere else. It could end up in the same organism (to over-express), or a different one (to heterologously express).
So far cloning genes into human embryos is universally unacceptable, but cloning genes into plants and microbes is common in research settings. There are also some animals that are genetically modified, which is wrong for some people, who object to experimenting on animals to begin with.

The cloning of many genes in hopes that at least one of the clonies of clones will contain the desired gene is referred to as the?
recombinant clone or chimeric DNA
Why is the aging process faster in clones?
Because if you take the genes from an older animalAnd use them to create a clone of that exact animal, it would still be born from the womb as a childHowever because the genes are already however many years old the newborn animals genes will be the same age so it will mature, and die fasterFor example Dolly the sheep was 7 years oldHer genes were cloned into a baby lambThis lambs genes were 7 years old so it had to catch up fasterTherefore... It aged faster
If you are clone do you get hurt if the clone does?
No you would not get hurt.

Are genetic diseases passed on to a clone?
Yes, because the clone's genes will be exactly the same as the original's genes.
Compare the genes in dolly and the sheep from which she was cloned?
Dolly and the sheep from which she was cloned have identical genes.
What is A clone that has the exact same genes from the organism that made it Called?
A Clone !
If you had cancer and you clone yourself would the clone have cancer?
Most likely because a clone is an exact replica of yourself. If you have cancer, your clones has the genes to have cancer.
What organism that has the same genes as the oraganism from which it was produced is called a?
A clone
What is a example of a animal that has exactly the same set of genes as its parents?
a clone
Why is it important to isolate and clone diseased gene?
Scientist must isolate and clone diseased genes in order to study them. A clone of the gene allows scientist to find an exact cure.
What is a group of individual organisms that have exactly the same set of genes called?
clone- group of indivdual organisms that have exactly the same genes
Does clones contain the same genetic material?
Yes, a clone is produced from a copy of the original organism's genes. However, gene expression might differ (I think), and end up producing different characteristics in the clone because different genes are taking effect.
Which is morally acceptable artificial intelligence or human clone?
AI would have to be the more morally acceptable one of the two, cloning is not very well accepted at this time.
Is it ethically acceptable to screen embryos for detective genes?
That would depend, among other things, on what you did with them afterward.
If X-23 is Wolverine's clone why is she shouldn't she be his daughter instead of his 'genetic sister'?
No, because a daughter does not have exact genetics because she would have the mothers genes as well. Whereas a sister would have the same genes as her brother.
