What are arguments for cloning humans?
just a few:The possibility to cure any disease/cure any illnessIt's natural progressMedical progress
How can you prove that gene cloning is complete?
You can prove gene closing is complete by comparing the cloned genes to the original. If any differences are present, the cloning process was not successful.
Is cloning humans ethical?
no Yes It depends on your definition of ethical. Is it unethical to clone cattle for food? Is it unethical to clone mice for pharmaceutical study? Opponents say "it's playing God", but they said that about almost every medical advancement from birth control pills to heart transplants, and even to genetically-modified foods. (Humans have been genetically modifying food and animals forever through selective breeding. In-vitro and DNA manipulation simply speeds up the process). Why would or should cloning humans be any different? Identical twins are a result of cloning in the womb. Take religion out of the picture and you would have a hard time making the unethical argument. What would be unethical would be cloning for spare parts. If the cloned person was treated no differently than a twin, a complete human person, then where is the problem?
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.
What are the practical issues of cloning?
# In the movie Jurassic Park, based on the best-selling book of the same name by Michael Crichton, scientists clone dinosaurs by using the DNA that was preserved for millions of years. However, there is trouble when the cloned dinosaurs turn out fiercer and smarter than expected. Can dinosaurs really be cloned? Theoretically, they can; all that would be required is DNA from an extinct dinosaur and a currently living closely related species which would act as a surrogate wart. In fact, there is ongoing research to clone the Woolly Mammoth by extracting the DNA from frozen animals.Actually, cloning is a phenomenon that occurs naturally in a wide variety of species from aphids to armadillos, to poplar trees, to bacteria. Whenever you see a pair of identical twins, they are examples of nature's clones. Although scientists have been cloning certain organisms like the carrot quite successfully for decades, attempts at cloning animals have not been as successful. However, they began long before the birth of Dolly, the sheep - the first mammal to be successfully cloned. There were sporadic successes at cloning other animals, like CC (abbreviation for 'copycat'), the first cat to be cloned, an Asian gaur, an endangered species, which Bessie, a cow, gave birth to, and way back in the 1960's, frogs being cloned, albeit with limited success. In fact, in the 1980s, some companies tried commercializing the cloning of livestock by the process of taking the nuclei from fetuses and embryos. These efforts generally resulted in failure because the newborns usually did not survive for long due to being unhealthy. Livestock cloning, currently, is still in the process of research. However, it is generally accepted that in time the scientific viability of producing healthy clones will become a reality.Although cloning other species does give rise to some misgivings, whether reviving extinct or endangered species, or to reproduce a dead pet, the prospect of cloning humans artificially is one of the most controversial debates that the human species has been pondering about, raising a number of ethical issues involved. In fact, the social impact of producing humans artificially was brilliantly explored in the famous novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and also in the movie The Island.Human cloning is basically about creating a genetically identical replica of a previously existing or existing person. Why would anybody opt to clone human beings? Well, generally, it will be one more option by which infertile couples can have children. Replacing a deceased child is also another reason why some people have expressed interest in the procedure.There are various methods of human cloning: embryo cloning, reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning. There is another method of cloning, known as replacement cloning, which at present exists only in theory. It is a combination of both reproductive and therapeutic cloning. Replacement cloning involves replacing a body that has been extensively damaged, or has failed, or is in the process of failing, via cloning, followed by transplanting the brain either partially or entirely. This procedure has been projected as a way of greatly extending human lifespan.Embryo Cloning: In this procedure, identical twins are produced, basically by reproducing how twins are created naturally. A few cells are extracted from a fertilized embryo, which are induced to develop into duplicate embryos. The twins that are thus formed have identical DNA. Although this procedure has been used on various animal species, there has been only limited experimentation done on humans.Reproductive Cloning: In this procedure, the DNA is removed from an ovum and replaced with the DNA extracted from a cell taken from an adult animal. Next, the fertilized ovum, which is called a pre-embryo now, is implanted in a womb, which then develops into a new animal. Thus, this procedure basically produces a duplicate of an existing person. Based on studies done on animals, it results in animals being born with severe genetic defects. This is the main reason why many in the medical field think it to be a profoundly unethical procedure to be carried out on humans. It is specifically banned in many countries. However, there are rumors that this procedure has been used successfully to initiate a pregnancy by the controversial Italian embryologist, Dr Severino Antinori.Therapeutic Cloning: The initial stages of this procedure are practically the same as Reproductive Cloning. However, in this, the stem cells are extracted from the pre-embryo, with the intention of generating a whole organ or tissue, so that it can be transplanted back into the person who gave the DNA. The pre-embryo, however, dies during the process. The aim of therapeutic cloning is to create a healthy organ or tissue of a sick person, in order to transplant it into them, instead of relying on organs from other people. This eliminates the need of waiting lists for organs, and since the organ has the same DNA as the donor, there is no need to take immunosuppressive drugs, as is required now after transplantations.At this nascent stage of cloning, there is no consensus yet about the ethical issues that are thrown up by the process of the destruction of human embryos, so that stem cells can be collected. Many conservative Christians and others concerned about the ethical issues of cloning think that the embryo is equivalent to a human being right at conception, and should be given the same rights. Since the process involved in the removal of DNA is similar to the process of conventional conception, because both create a pre-embryo, it is thought that the pre-embryo is a human person. In therapeutic cloning, the process of extracting stem cells, therefore, is equivalent to murdering the human being. Religious and ethically conservative people think it is ethically wrong to kill one person so that another person's life can be extended or saved.Others, however, are of the opinion that the embryo does not require any particular moral consideration, because at the stage when it is cloned, it is just a bunch of cells that contain DNA, and are not very different from the millions of skin cells that we shed everyday. The embryonic cells at that stage cannot be considered equivalent to a human being because it does not have a brain, thoughts, self-awareness, memory, awareness of its environment, sensory organs, internal organs, legs, arms, and so on. They think that the embryo attains human personhood much later during gestation, perhaps at the point when the brain develops so that it becomes aware of itself.Here are some questions concerning the ethical issues of cloning humans for you to ponder about:Is cloning humans "playing God?" If it is, then how about other reproductive procedures like hormone treatments and in vitro fertilization?Does an embryo, at whatever stage of its existence, have the same rights as human beings?Do we have the right to have children, regardless of how they are created?Is it justified to create stem cells by killing a human embryo?Is it ethically right to harvest organs from clones?If a clone is created from an existing person, who is the parent?Will cloned children face any social repercussions? If so, what?Can cloned children be manipulated to become monsters, like Hitler, or slaves, as is explored in Brave New World?Should the research in cloning by regulated? If so, who should regulate it, and how can it be regulated?

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.
Can you please write a persuasive speech for me about human cloning?
While human cloning might offer potential benefits in terms of medical advances and reproductive technology, it also raises numerous ethical concerns and challenges. The risks of cloning leading to genetic abnormalities and potential exploitation of cloned individuals cannot be overlooked. It's crucial to prioritize the ethical implications and consider the long-term consequences of pursuing human cloning. Ultimately, we must proceed with caution and ensure that any advancements in this field prioritize human rights and dignity.
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.
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.
Is there any risks for pregnant women and their babies?
No their is no risks
Is there any risks to downloading google toolbar?
No, there is not any risks to downloading the google toolbar as long as you download it from the official website. It does not have any risks because it is a reliable company.
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
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.
How can you prove that gene cloning is complete?
You can prove gene closing is complete by comparing the cloned genes to the original. If any differences are present, the cloning process was not successful.
What medications require physiological measurement?
There are quite a few medications that require physiological measurements. Any medication required for a mental illness for example requires these measurements to be taken.
