We as humans have successfully cloned a sheep I am sure the name 'Dolly' comes to mind. But as for cloning another human being; ethics has gotten in the way of such an achievement, but it IS possible.but scientists observed that a cloned being is prone to infections and diseases..

Why is primate cloning such a dismal failure?

Primate cloning has proven to be a dismal failure primarily due to the complex genetic and developmental challenges inherent in primate biology. The cloning process often results in high rates of miscarriage, developmental abnormalities, and health issues in cloned embryos and offspring. Additionally, ethical concerns and the limited understanding of primate genetics further complicate efforts in cloning, leading to low success rates and significant scientific hurdles. These factors collectively contribute to the difficulties in achieving successful primate cloning.


Why do scientists clone people?

As far as is known no human cloning has taken place. Yet.


How does the cloning of cows affect the cows?

Cloning can have mixed effects on cows. While it can help in propagating valuable genes and traits, it may also be associated with health issues and abnormalities in the cloned cows. Additionally, the process of cloning can be stressful for the animals involved.


Scientists have cloned sheep but have not yet cloned a humanthe best explanation for this situation is?

Cloning humans raises ethical concerns around autonomy, identity, and exploitation that do not apply to cloning animals. There are also safety and efficiency concerns related to human cloning that have not been fully addressed. Additionally, international regulations and societal consensus on human cloning are not well-established.


How has cloning impacted us?

unfortunately, cloning hasn't really impacted us, yet, but it well some ay in the future. It can reverse the aging processs, bring back extinct animals and many more, but cloning could also make the world overpoppulated and global warming would be far out of our reach because no one would be dying

Which year was successful cloning of an adult sheep achieved?

1997.


What was the first successful human cloning?

The first successful human cloning was not officially confirmed due to ethical and legal concerns surrounding human cloning. However, a controversial claim of human cloning was made in 2004 by a company called Clonaid, but this claim lacks credible evidence.


What is the historical perspective of cloning?

Cloning has been a topic of scientific interest for decades, with the first successful cloning of a mammal (Dolly the sheep) in 1996. Since then, cloning technology has advanced, leading to the cloning of other animals and ongoing ethical debates surrounding the practice. Cloning has potential benefits for research and medicine but also raises concerns about ethical implications and the impact on biodiversity.


Is human cloning possible?

Human cloning is not possible. Many cloning attempts on our closest relatives, rhesus monkeys, have resulted in utter failure with not a single successful birth. Cloning in cattle have also resulted in very few pregnancies and even fewer are born. Most of those born suffer from bizarre illnesses that never occur in nature.


Who was the first clone?

The first successful cloning was on a sheep named Dolly on February 15 2003.


What are the considerations for designing DNA fragments with restriction enzyme compatible ends for successful cloning?

When designing DNA fragments for cloning, it is important to choose restriction enzymes that will create compatible ends on the DNA fragments. This means selecting enzymes that produce complementary overhangs, or "sticky ends," which will allow the fragments to easily bind together during the cloning process. Additionally, it is crucial to consider the size and sequence of the DNA fragments to ensure successful cloning.


How long has cloning been around?

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.


Should cloning be used to create the perfect human?

Hi! Human cloning can probably be perfected but scientists are not that advanced yet. I'm working on an essay for human and animal cloning. Animal cloning has been successful with Dolly the Sheep and others but most of them have died young. Others also say that cloning has hidden DNA damage. So animal cloning is close to perfection-really close they have been successful but humans don't want to risk being tested unless scientists are absolutely sure. We have a while to wait!


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.


When did cloning first start?

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.


Are scientisits considering cloning the saber-toothed tiger?

Currently, I have not heard any news on scientists cloning the Saber-toothed Tiger. As of December 2011, however, news broke that scientists plan to clone the wooly mammoth within five years. If this is a successful cloning, I will bet that scientists will pursue interest in cloning more extinct creatures.
