being cloned. Soon primates and Humans could be cloned. I think we should further investigate human cloning for research on the parenting process and other physiological experiments that can only be used now on identical twins separated at birth. These experiments when used could be used to gain insight on what our genes determine in our personalities. I also think that the achievement of us humans cloning ourselves would be a great achievement for the entire human race such as it was when we landed on

12/10/2012 LEGALIZATION OF HUMAN CLONING As years pass, more and more gadgets, machines, transportations, and foods are being improved because of the technological advancements. Even the life of humans is improved by the years, where the life expectancy is increasing because of the developed medical research, medicines, and medical equipment. However, developed biomedical methods such as cloning are controversial and in fact 93% of all Americans oppose cloning (Pynes). Cloning is a technique used by researchers

therapeutic cloning and stem cell research call for the end of genetically linked diseases such as diabetes and cystic fibrosis. Human DNA has been atomized into clonable portions. The possibility of designer babies is cherished by affluent parents. All these are the realities of our time, the results of stem cell research whose impact may be unpredictable. On the one hand, human cloning may open new horizons for stem cell research; on the other hand, all this fuss about genetic cloning may be of no

Body Corporate: Who Owns Your Genes? Genes are hereditary an are made up of chromosomes you obtain from each parent that forms a person’s DNA which is what give you your individual appearance, traits, behavior and also can detect how vulnerable you can be to certain diseases. Most people when asked who owns our genes would respond we do but in fact a portion of our genes are “owned” or patented by a company. According to dictionary.com, “gene patenting is allowing unique segments of DNA, which perhaps

Genetic engineering is the process of genetically modifying an organism, it’s a possibility in the near future. This process allows scientists to manipulate the characteristics of their test subjects, and if need be heal them. Human genetic engineering is genetic engineering that is conducted humans. Many people support human genetic engineering because of its potential medical purposes. However, the topic of designer babies has raised some heads, as some are against it because they believe it’s

Morality of Cloning Cloning, is it morally right or wrong? That is the question many have been debating for years. Cloning an animal, or even more so a human, may seem, taboo. Ask yourself, what are moral standards built upon? Religion? Or do they come from ourselves? Most of today's moral standards are built upon Christianity, one of the worlds biggest religions. Many people believe that God made us to reproduce sexually, between a man and woman only, and that cloning is playing God and going

What is cloning? As the future arrives, scientists at Wake Forest University have said that they figured out how to construct bone, muscle and cartilage through printing. They are still able to sustain blood flow enough to provide away for cells to stay alive. These printed body tissues will soon be safe for human implants. From people creating cloned body parts it is helping the community and helping people that need these body parts. Cloning can help things but there are also other effects that

the future have in store for us? Scientist are starting to look into human cloning and the purpose for doing so is to have organ transplants and for experimentation. We have already cloned animals and the reason they do it, is mainly for testing. But, it did take a lot of tries before they could actual clone anything. One case that was heard around the world was the sheep called “Dolly”. She was produced by reproductive cloning and this all happens inside a laboratory. One day, scientists hope that

Cloning 1. What should Dr. Smith do? I think that with such minimal overall research done in the entire cloning industry and no research done with a human being the variable, it is not a wise decision for Dr. Smith to proceed with cloning the body cell of Lucy. Although I don’t think that any further damage (besides death) could happen to Lucy, if something terrible happens or if the procedure does go well and then Lucy becomes ill or something else goes wrong with the cloning in the long
