Genetic Cloning

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. :)

Cloning is an important part of advancing science. You have to ask yourself this question though...If you cloned yourself and had sexual relations with your clone, would you consider yourself gay?

Some scientists reckon that in endangered species it is essential to clone in order to keep the species alive. However, cloning can cause difficulties, as if two of the same cloned animal mate, they can cause serious defaults in their young; such as missing legs! This however, does not make it essential and without further research it makes it unrealistic to clone any animals in case of incidents further down the line.

Some bad things about animal cloning is that it messes with nature and the life cycle. It also can harm the original organism and create mutants.

Gene cloning is the replication of DNA fragments by the use of a self-replicating genetic material. Unlike reproductive cloning, which replicates an entire organism, gene cloning duplicates only individual genes of an organism's DNA.

Cloning is beneficial because it is going to prevent species from becoming instinct such as animals and plants. If we don't got animals how would we human survive.. Some people might say we don't have to eat meat i agree.... but what about plants.. Plants provide our energy.... and they can produce and transplant... That is one way cloning could be beneficial hope that helps ALSOOO.... :D if heart disease destroys someone heart an exact copy.. clone.... could grow and replace it....

Gene cloning is when you take the entire genetic profile to create a copy of the donor of the genes. Gene modification is when you change a persons genes, in a way to change the outcome of how the baby will look, act, her/his personality and a lot more.

In this case, gene cloning would come under the category of gene manipulation.

I can list some disadvantages and they are: High failure rate, Problems during later development, Abnormal gene expression patterns and Telomeric differences which is when the chromoscones get shorter. Hope it helps because I'm still looking for advantages!

1. First you might die quicker 2.You have another you spying hiding here and there 3.You and the clone might get mixed up and if your clone have broke many laws they might think its you 4.It's called "Playing God" witch christians hate 5.You clone might try to kill you 6. There are thousands more but i cant stay here writing till im 100 years old

Genetic cloning allows us to study genetic disorders in a lab environment. we can perform experiments on these cloned cells without having to endanger the patient themselves. these clones aren't humans, you can't even see them without a microscope most of the time. By performing these experiments we learn about the different processes that occur within the cell. and the more we learn about these processes the more we can do to prevent disorders that occur due to malfunctions in these processes.

The controversy surrounding human cloning is an ethical issue. People wonder if humans have the right to create other humans and if humans do have that right, do they also have the right to take life away? The controversy is over life and death and who has the power to control them.

The one benefit of animal cloning that will have the biggest impact on our environment is that with the technology of cloning, we can now preserve endangered breeds and species.

The complementary overhangs of restriction enzymes form a 'scar' between the Promoter and Chromoprotein. This scar cannot be digested by any of the four restriction enzymes used to create BioBricks. This allows for iterative building of more complex BioBricks. Why can the scar not be cut, despite retaining the overhang sequence?

Select one:

a. Because the scar is not a palindrome.

b. Because the scar has a distorted double helix that cannot be recognized by the restriction enzyme.

c. Because restriction enzymes only cut at one sequence of DNA.

d. Because restriction enzymes recognize additional DNA sequence beyond the overhang region

Dolly the sheep is a famous example - Scientists in Scotland cloned a ewe by inserting DNA from a single sheep cell into an egg and implanted it in a surrogate mother

Some interesting facts about cloning are: Human stem cells and rat cells have been mixed at some point. The first cloned animal was a tadpole. Despite the research that has been put into cloning, 95% of attempts fail.

Reproductive cloning scientist investigate about cells, an egg cell and mix the nucleus, therefore a sollution of the egg cell transfers the nucleus of the somatic cell into the eggcell, then they add mitosis to the egg cell containing the somatics DNA, resulting in an 16cell embryo then it is placed in the womb of a female to create a clone.

While therapeutic cloning people look at embyos and how they are formed.

C. Placing an adult nucleus in a cell without a nucleus.

Well, a lot of it is in speculation right now, but one disadvantage has to do with telomeres.

At the ends of each of your chromosomes there are long 'buffer zones' where there are a lot of nucleotides, but no actual genes. These are called telomeres Everytime your DNA replicates during cell divison, bits of these buffer zones break off. This is okay, because again, it these 'buffers' don't carry any information. The problem is, eventually you DO start loosing information because the telomeres run out. This is linked to aging.

Dolly the sheep, for example, died at only age 6 (most sheep live to be about 2) and one of the things that they noticed was that she had shortened telomeres, because her chromosomes originally started from an adult sheep; they hadn't been brand new at her conception.

As it turned out, she had problems like arthritis and such that you would expect from a much older animal

Scientists use a nucleic acid probe where scientists treat the DNA being searched with chemicals or heat to seperate the two DNA strands, then the nucleic acid probe is mixed with the single strands and the probe tags the direct DNA portion.

This process is sometimes called cloning because every new plant is exactly like the parent. One type of cloning uses cuttings--parts of plants that grow into new plants. Both stems and leaves can be used as cuttings. Another kind of cloning is grafting--the joining together of two plants into one. Other kinds of cloning use bulbs or tubers--underground parts that make new plants.

Cloning of animals is legal, but cloning of humans is considered to be a taboo and is not legal.

cloning a complete human involves taking genes or cells froma human and letting them do the rest
