Abstract Cloning first kick-started in 1996, with the cloning of Dolly, in which there was no male involved in the cloning. Ever since Dolly, hundreds of animals have been cloned. Every single day, scientists are getting close and closer to cloning humans. With the technology today, it is seems more evident to happen.

Brecht ENC 1101 7 October 2014 The Potential Benefits of Human Cloning Imagine a utopia-based world in which a majority of lethal diseases could be cured. Human cloning could save the lives of people in ways that one could not even begin to imagine. “This new technology heralds a new era of unparalleled advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin” (Human Cloning Foundation). The process of cloning a human being sounds more complicated than one would think. The

In cloning for medical-research purposes the development of the embryo is halted as soon as a cluster of stem cells develops. The stem cells are then harvested for research purposes. Due to the fact that no infant is born (in fact the embryo never even gets past the blastocyst stage), it is argued that this type of cloning has nothing to do with human cloning. (Hatch Backs Limited Cloning, 2002). For this reason this paper shall take the statement “to clone a human being” as meaning cloning that

Opponents will claim that because cloning does not add genetic diversity, it is useless. They claim that it does not improve the environment. In spite of the previous claim, cloning does
