Another Me Cloning. Kind of cool? Kind of scary? Most things in life are. There's always been the thoughts of 'what-if-there's-another-me' throughout history. Well, what else is there to say but that cloning is already here? Many people are familiar with the story of 'Dolly' the cloned Finn Dorset sheep born from a Scottish Blackface mother; but are perhaps unaware that the process has been tried on multiple other animals. The most recent miracle occurring in Japan that resulted in a mouse being

egg cell and a body cell to create a viable embryo. As part of the studies of genetics and developmental biotechnology, somatic cell nuclear transfer is commonly known as cloning and has elicited a lot of debate and criticism from fundamentalists and bioethicists who feel it is a breech of ethical boundaries. Also called cloning, this process traces its development back to the mid and late 1800’s when scientists discovered that cell twining was possible. By separating embryonic cells, these scientists

What is cloning? Cloning describes a number of different processes that can be used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity (Fact). The copied material, which has the same genetic makeup as the original, is referred to as a clone (MedlinePlus). I personally think that cloning is wrong for various reasons. In this essay, I will go into detail about cloning and why it is wrong from a moral standpoint. There are two types of cloning where you can make exact genetic copies

controversy of cloning. First the author examines the benefits of cloning by pointing out that it can possibly treat ill or injured patients; and he/she goes on to explain the questionable morals involved in the cloning method by describing the terminating of embryos. The author reaches out to the general concerned public with this article in order to give them knowledge on the subject. Cloning is a highly disputed topic that is still in the research process. In truth cloning is a very interesting

Castro, J. (2011, October 18). How are cloned animals made? Retrieved from http://www.livescience.com/16589-faq-cloning-animals.html This article explains how reproductive cloning works; it gives the reader some insight on the difficulties of producing a clone. This article was published by Joseph Castro, a Live Science contributor. The information is accurate and is still relevant, as it was written only a few years ago.

Human Cloning comes with two dangerous processes, reproductive cloning (the creating of a new organism) and the therapeutic cloning (the creation of a new tissues or “other biological products”) which affects the ethics of human society. Scientists perceive cloning benefits all men and women, while religious leaders stress the idea of cloning to be an unethical process. Although human cloning serves as an aid to the children and parents with conflicts, cloning is completely unacceptable to convey

cloned from an adult cell. Previous clonings have been from embryo cells. The sheep's birth has been heralded as one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of the decade although it is likely to spark ethical controversy. Scientists in Scotland cloned a ewe by inserting DNA from a single sheep cell into an egg and implanted it in a surrogate mother. They now have a healthy seven-month-old sheep - Dolly - who is an exact genetic duplicate of the animal from which the single cell was taken

trying to clone animals that have gone extinct. Jurassic Park is a movie series based on what happens when a scientist did manage to clone these extinct creatures. The DNA of a woolly mammoth has recently been found, and now the discussion of cloning has been back in the media. This has become an important topic that society needs to think about now that technology has continued to advance. Bringing back extinct creatures could become a reality, not just science fiction. Animals that have gone extinct

| Scientists aim to bring mammoth back to lifeThe Yomiuri ShimbunMammoths, which went extinct about 10,000 years ago, may once again walk the Earth.A team of researchers will attempt to resurrect the species using cloning technologies after obtaining tissue this summer from the carcass of a mammoth preserved in a Russian mammoth research laboratory. It has already established a technique to extract DNA from frozen cells."Preparations to realize this goal have been made," said Prof. Akira Iritani
