- The pro's of cloning is you get another person to keep you company like a person that may of died recently. The cons are it could go wrong and you could end up with a deformed person which would be even worse than loosing the relative in the first place. Need anymore advice just leave another question.
- Cloning pros are cloning new hearts, kidneys, etc. so people that need organs don't have to be put on a long waiting list and possibly die while waiting. The downside is, that in past history most great things discovered are used in an under-handed and ugly fashion and not for the good. They could use cloning to make vast armies, so that means a fight for the total power of cloning. Cloning can keep feared and dangerous leaders alive and well (think about Hitler, Hussein.) But that might not happen because the clone would be born as a baby, and might grow up to have different goals. Sometimes it's not nice to fool mother nature! If we could be sure cloning would help those that have heart, liver, kidney disease or other diseases then that's a wonderful thing, but us humans know better. Cloning will be like everything else that should be used in a good and controlled way ... money and power. People will want to start cloning their children, each other, their parents, pets, and it goes on down the list. Playing God only backfires in one's face.
- Pros are the organs and tissues that can be cloned. Also, people who can't reproduce naturally will have another option besides in vitro in order to have kids. Cons. Cloning should not be used to keep good or bad people alive forever, since clones just have the same DNA as their parent, they are not the same person and will most likely develop a different personality. There is also no reason why clones would be more controllable than non clones, so raising a clone army would be about as useful as just passing a mandatory reproduction law and conscripting all the children as adults. Maybe He wants us to use our gift of intelligence to come up with this new technology and use it? Otherwise why would he have put it into our nature to have the ability to think of these things?
- Pros of cloning all depend on the person, for or against. For me the pros would be that great people could be cloned to live out their legacy, or to create armies of cloned super babies cons are that more people are against cloning than for it. And cloning is expensive, to retrieve the desired DNA and to reproduce and maintain homeostasis within the specimen. Cloning for now is unneeded due to our overpopulation and lack of food in other countries. Which will start the need for cloning plants and animals, but that's a totally different story. For those who think that its like playing God the hydra is an animal that asexually reproduces and that means it clones itself by breaking body parts off and having them grow.
- Pros: People who need an organ could have one without having to take anti rejection drugs or having to have a family member donate something. As well, there really is no worry about clone armies unless someone figures out how to clone people without their own minds and opinions. Cons: There are millions of ethical reasons not to clone humans because clones are humans, they have brains and personalities. Also, there is overpopulation on earth as well as food shortage.
- Pros: Pros are based off of opinions really, the person would be genetically identical, but, personality would be different, everything that doesn't involve your DNA is probably gonna be different. Cons: Cloning, Usually is very inefficient.
Plain and simple, and most of the "clones" either die before birth, or during early stages of live. If not that, they have Birth Defects. Plus, the more efficient way of cloning, which is somewhere around Taking already mature, immunoglobulin genes in B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes cells, in other words, defend and attack cells, in order, And, it only keeps the one cell, either b or t, as in all the White Blood cells(B and T) will either be B or T. So you'll only be able to produce antigens(b) or Defend yourself from Diseases (t).
How can you know donored-vector is cloning vector or expression vector?
To determine if a plasmid is a donor vector or an expression vector, you typically look at the features present in the plasmid. Donor vectors are usually used for cloning purposes and contain features like antibiotic resistance genes and cloning sites. Expression vectors, on the other hand, typically have additional elements like promoters, selection markers, and tags for protein expression. Analyzing the sequence and reading the vector map can also provide insight into its intended use.
What category of cloning does artificial embryo twinning fit?
Artificial embryo twinning is where an early embryo which has been produced through IVF is divided into several individual cells. This is at the stage where the embryo cells are not specialized yet. Each cell grows into an identical embryo in the lab. These embryos are then transferred into a host mother and identical cloned animals are born.
So it uses normal sexual reproduction and essentially produces identical twins/triplets quadruplets but this is done in the lab instead of nature producing an identical twin.
It is in no way similar to fusion cell cloning as used for Dolly the sheep.
It falls in the category of embryo cloning.
No, a process cannot be inherently bad. Only what is done with that process can define it as good or bad in that context.<<<<< THIS ANSWER IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!
CLONING IS BAD WE LOSE OUR SOULS AND WILL SUFFER A LONG AND PAINFUL EXISTANCE IN HELL!!!
A cloning vector is a DNA molecule used to transfer foreign genetic material into a host organism during gene cloning. It typically contains features such as selectable markers and multiple cloning sites to facilitate the insertion of DNA fragments. Common cloning vectors include plasmids, bacteriophages, and artificial chromosomes.
Yes a glitch, go to the battle tower then go to the PC, deposit the Pokemon u wanna clone, then close the PC and save the game, then go back on the PC and withdraw the Pokemon u deposited before the save, close the PC and go to the person who will ask u to challenge the tower (the one closest to the PC), then enter the pkmn and then she will ask u if saving the game is ok, select yes and then the game will freeze, right after the freeze (not during or it could damage ur game) restart the game with:
A+B+start+select, go back to ur PC AND ur second pkmn will be there,
hope this helped bye
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.
What are the good things about cloning?
Cloning can save species from extinction. It can also improve and save lives.
ducklover132's answer:
Why is cloning good?
Debate Profession: Sam and Kassidy
Reason 1: They allow us to clone body parts for those who need it. They allow them to let those people who are supposed to die, live. For instance, let's say all of the sudden Korbyn's heart fails. And all the doctors and nurses search and search for the right kind of heart, but they can't find the right type. And they say the only way that Korbyn can live is to clone her. If Korbyn says no, she dies. If she says yes, she lives. Cloning saves lives.
Reason 2: One of the benefits of cloning isreproducing animals. For instance, what about the tiger and giant panda? They're endangered. What if comes to when only one tiger and giant panda are left on Earth, and the only way to keep them alive is to clone them. So you decide to save the panda and kill the tiger. You might wonder why it would matter, but animals have feelings too. We don't want to die, but neither does the animals. Another reason for reproducing animals is for food. You could clone pigs, cows, and chickens, and end up with more bacon, sausage, hamburgers, and barbeque chicken.
What purpose does restriction mapping serve when it comes to cloning genes?
The enzymes being used to cut the vector open allowing the insertion of the gene of interest. Once the gene has integrated into the host plasmid it can grown in a media conducive to which ever particular strain of bacteria it is. As the transformed bacteria grow in colonies each cell will possesses the gene that was inserted. Now there is a large quantity of "cloned" genes which can be isolated back out and examined. - Rough summary-
What is the exact date of the first human embryo cloning?
The first successful human embryo cloning experiment was reported on November 12, 2001, by Advanced Cell Technology. This experiment involved the cloning of a human embryo using a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer.
What is good about animal cloning?
Animal cloning can help in preserving endangered species, improving livestock genetics, and advancing medical research by producing genetically identical animals for experimental purposes. It also offers a way to replicate desirable traits in animals, such as disease resistance or milk production, that can benefit both agriculture and conservation efforts.
What are some potential dangers of cloning extinct mammals such as the mammoth?
The cloning of life remains a deeply controversial and vexing issue due to the ethical implications the technology creates. In reference to literally resurrecting extinct species this creates the introduction of new and alien organisms into a biosphere. Other dangers include the humane treatment as cloning cannot assure the organism may suffer through its creation or if their offspring will be viable and healthy.
Genes play a role everything we are, from our looks and skills to our brains and personality. Deciphering a gene means to understand that gene's role in our development. For instance people who suffer from sickle-cell anemia have differently shaped blood cells. When scientists isolated the genes responsible for constructing the specific blood cells affected by this type of anemia they claimed to have deciphered the genes responsible for sickle-cell anemia. Now everyone can be tested to see if they carry these defective genes and amniotic fluid can be drawn and tested to see whether an embryo has inherited the disorder from his parents or not.
What advantages in cloning have been made since Dolly was cloned?
Since Dolly's cloning, advancements in cloning technology have led to improved efficiency, higher success rates, and increased understanding of the process. Techniques such as somatic cell nuclear transfer and induced pluripotent stem cells have expanded the scope and applications of cloning in areas such as regenerative medicine and agricultural breeding. Overall, these advancements have made cloning a more accessible and practical tool in various fields of research.
What part of the cell is typically removed during the cloning process?
The nucleus is typically removed during the cloning process, as it contains the genetic material of the donor cell. This nucleus is then inserted into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed, leading to the formation of a cloned organism.
What are the pros and cons of human cloning?
Let's look at the Cons -- Disadvantages of human cloning
1) No free will for the clone is the number one disadvantage of human cloning. A human clone will not ask to be born. His existence will be because someone else decided to "make him" and bring him into the world. Effectively this puts the person who cloned the clone into a position of God-like power.
2) Human cloning would be an obvious source of "slave labor" if allowed unchecked.
3) There is no guarantee that cloning is safe, even for the clones. Scientists don't know how long clones will live or how productive their lives will be.
4) "It's hard out here for a clone." Life for clones won't be easy. They'll face routine discrimination from those non-cloned humans who feel threatened by their existence.
5) The clones themselves will be confused on issues of love and belonging. Clones might very well be emotional wrecks upon learning of their Genesis.
6) The Justice System will need an overhaul. Imagine how many people will have the same fingerprints.
7) Humans and/or body parts could become commodities. Clone farms would arise to harvest organs and worse.
Pros of human cloning would be:
The main areas where human cloning would excel would be in research of medical conditions. The information available from cloning could theoretically open the key to defeat disease, and for this reason alone, many researchers will want to experiment with cloning.

There is an interesting sci fi film you might want to watch called "Clonus". If follows the story of a man who discovers that he is a clone of a rich & famous person. He then realises sole reason for being alive is to be harvested for spare parts to keep the original alive.
Cloning brings up many serious ethical questions.
How about the creation of the "Perfect" human? Wasn't this one of Hitlers aims?

What are the rules for cloning?
According to the International Bylaw Consortium on the Artificial Development of Duplicate Humans, or I.B.C.A.D.D.H. (eye-bee-cad-huh) as it is known to industry insiders, the rules of a cloning match are as follows:
Each cloning team will be assigned a goal area to defend from the opposing cloning team.
The match begins by putting the disease-ridden cloning subject in the center of the field (or pitch) between the opposing teams. Following the referee's whistle blow the teams scramble to control the dying original.
The goal is to drive the emaciated patient into the opposing team's goal, and then violate international sanctions by illegally reproducing the basic building blocks of life that exactly duplicate the host.
The game is generally high-scoring, since it takes literally hundreds of tries to produce a single viable embryo. Once a successful embryo is discovered it is immediately implanted in a surrogate mother, (the scoring team's goalie).
The first team to spit in God's face and replicate human life, thereby saving the patient's life by murdering his scientific twin and harvesting his "cloney organs," wins.
Popularity for cloning has quickly surpassed the older sport of 'Abortionball'. (Nobody liked being the kicker).
The first successful cloning of a mammal, Dolly the sheep, was achieved in 1996 by scientists at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. This breakthrough marked the beginning of modern cloning techniques in biotechnology.
this is really where but when, I hope it helps.
'The modern era of laboratory cloning began in 1958 when F.C. Steward cloned carrot plants from mature single cells placed in a nutrient culture containing hormones. The first cloning of animal cells took place in 1964.'
Yeah but it has been going on before that. Not cloning physically but the idea has been around for years. And I believe individual cells were cloned in the very early 1900s
The main reason against it is that many people - particularly religious groups - find it immoral; others are that it may be used in ways that violate human rights and laws, and that because of its expense it should not be publicly funded.
Cloning can be used for various purposes such as medical research, creating genetically identical animals for agriculture or conservation, and potentially even helping to produce organs for transplant. It allows scientists to study genetic diseases, improve agricultural efficiency, and explore ways to improve human health.
Cloning, any of various techniques used to reproduce genetically identical organisms from an individual organism; the organisms so produced are called clones. The term "cloning" also refers to the technique used in genetic engineering to produce identical segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), and to the asexual reproduction of organisms in nature. Cloning is used commercially to reproduce individual plants and animals that have desirable traits. In horticulture, cloning makes it possible to produce a large number of plants with specific characteristics, typically in much less time than it takes to grow the plants from seed. In animal husbandry, cloning makes it possible to produce a group of farm animals with valuable traits in less time and with more certainty than with conventional breeding. Cloning is also used to produce laboratory animals with specific traits.
Plants can be cloned using such techniques as cutting and tissue culture. Cutting is a simple technique, but it is not effective with all varieties of plants. Many plants that cannot be readily cloned by cutting (such as orchids) can be cloned through tissue culture. In this technique a stem, root, or leaf is cut from a plant and placed in soil, sand, or water, where it develops into a new plant. In tissue culture a small piece of tissue from a mature plant is removed and placed in a laboratory culture dish containing a growth medium. The piece of tissue is left in the culture dish until it has grown large enough to be transplanted into soil. Animals can be cloned using either embryonic or adult cells. Cloning from embryonic cells involves simpler procedures and yields a higher percentage of surviving offspring, but cloning from adult cells allows the desirable traits to be more easily identified and chosen.
Embryonic Cells
In the most common technique for cloning from embryonic cells, the nucleus of a body cell is extracted from a very young embryo. The nucleus is inserted into a newly fertilized egg cell whose own nucleus has been removed. The egg is then placed in a culture dish until it develops into an embryo. The embryo is inserted into the womb of a female of the same species. This surrogate mother eventually bears the offspring developed from the embryo. It is possible to produce a large group of identical offspring by using this technique with a number of cells from the same embryo and using a number of surrogate mothers. In another technique, known as embryo splitting, a very young embryo is split into two or more parts. The parts are placed in culture dishes and allowed to develop into individual, identical embryos. These embryos are then placed into a surrogate mother's womb to continue developing. Although this technique produces genetically identical offspring, some scientists do not consider it to be true cloning.
Adult Cells
In the first technique developed for cloning adult cells, a cell taken from an adult is inserted into an unfertilized egg cell whose nucleus has been removed. The two cells are then fused with an electrical pulse. The fusion causes the cells to develop into an embryo. Each embryo is then placed into a surrogate mother's womb to continue development. In another technique, a nucleus is removed from an adult cell and injected into an egg cell whose nucleus has been removed. The genetic material of the injected nucleus is allowed to develop for up to six hours. The cell with its new nucleus is then given a chemical bath that causes the nucleus and the cell to fuse and develop into an embryo. The embryo is then placed into a surrogate mother's womb to continue development.
Dolly was a cloned sheep, and the first mammal to be successfully cloned. She was created at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. The cell from which she was cloned was taken from a six year old ewe. Dolly was born on 5 July 1996, but scientists did not announce her birth until February 22 the following year. The cloning technique used in the creation of Dolly was somatic cell nuclear transfer, in which the nucleus from one of the donor's non-reproductive cells is placed into a de-nucleated embryonic cell and coaxed into developing into a foetus.
What is the the name of the torture that involves pulling off human limbs?
The act of pulling off human limbs as a form of torture is often referred to as "limb stretching" or "limb dismemberment." It is a brutal and inhumane practice that causes extreme pain and permanent physical harm to the victim.
