Genetic Cloning

Cloning research involves using scientific techniques to create genetically identical copies of organisms. This research can have applications in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and conservation. However, it is a controversial topic with ethical considerations surrounding its use in humans and animals.

its a type of experiment that uses the original genes of a mammal and transfer it to another mammal

Organisms that reproduce by cloning include bacteria, certain plants, and some invertebrates like flatworms and some insects. Cloning involves a form of asexual reproduction where offspring are genetically identical to the parent organism.

POSITIVE

* No need for blood donors

* Can re-breed an endangered species

* Theoretically able to bring a person/animal back to life

* Cancer, Diabetes, and other genetically related diseases would be cured

* Organs could be repopulated

NEGATIVE

* Earth would become extremely overpopulated

* There would be little diversity within the human race

* If everyone developed immunity to the same diseases, one new virus would cause unimaginable havoc

Cloning will affect how we think about humanity, and will also affect daily life in countless ways.

Cloning has been around since the 1950s, with the first successful cloning of a sheep named Dolly taking place in 1996. Since then, advancements in cloning technology have been made, leading to the cloning of various animals for research and conservation purposes.

Cleopatra probably woulden't even be able to grasp the concept of human cloning. Remember she lived over 2000 years ago. About the closest thing to the general idea of cloning, was the Egyptian concept of the ka, or spiritual double of a person.

Negatives of cloning Cloning allows scientists to make people smarter, stronger, and perfect. If there were one thousand people they would get confusing because they would all look alike. Since scientists are trying to clone humans I don't think that's working so their trying to put human genes into animals to create various medicines.

It would cost roughly 250 million dollars

The truth is that some say people are being cloned and others say they aren't. With advances in knowledge of genetics, cloning is certainly possible.

it gets rid of most of the germs, you know GERMS get you sick

Don't be fooled by all the gloss Japan has lots of bad points (like all countries), however some good points are.

* Fantastic service (just went to America and it's like a slap in the face compared to Japan's) * Convenience * Great Rail system * Cheap travel (abroad and internally although it can depend on the time of year, and your method of travel)

* Cheap food options * Cheap goods

* Beautiful scenery (in rural areas) * Onsens * Great road system (easy navigation even if you dont read Japanese)

*You always hear about how expensive Japan is but there are often very cheap alternatives and the quality is always good.

The advantages are that you can get a lot more plants and feed more people. Disadvantage is that you may end up with too much and the price will go down.

The most discussed type of cloning is reproductive cloning, producing a genetically identical copy with fatalities up to 95 percent. Therapeutic cloning is research based involving stem cells. Recombinant DNA technology involve injecting DNA .

Cloning, to me, is making a total duplicate of someone's body. But with no spirit put there by God, then it would be without a mind, will or emotion.

In fact chances of error are extremely high. and this will be humiliation to humanity to produce some human with aberration. Let the research to progress, in future may be it become useful. But therapeutic cloning must be legal.

no person should be cloned

The Roman Catholic Church is completely against cloning. They believe that life deserves the highest respect and dignity from conception to natural death.

The Roman Catholic Church is mainly against cloning because they believe that God is creator of all things living. By cloning, it is like we ae trying to replace God.

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?

Because it could not adopt the same features as the other person. It isn't good for health. And it can harm the person and society. :)
