Dolly the cloned sheep
• Dolly is best known for being the first ever mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer. • Dolly was born 5 July 1996, and she had 3 mothers. Unfortunately she died when she was 6 on valentines day 2003.
• She had 6 lambs (Bonnie, twins Sally and
Rosie, and triplets Lucy, Darcy and cotton)

The following are the advantages of cloning animals:
1. The creation of identical copies of animals – through cloning, it is possible to create genetically identical animals for organ or tissue transplantation; and the creation of identical copies of only the best animal population
2. Repopulate the world with endangered or even extinct animals – with the modern technology nowadays, it is possible to address the problem of endangered species, or recreate the extinct species of animals
Just imagine being able to bring back an extinct animal into today’s world! Big movies like that of Jurassic Park and other similar themed cinema hits showed the recreation of dinosaurs through the preserved DNA in mosquitoes. Further studies and researchers are still required in order to bring out the best in cloning animals.
Disadvantages of cloning.
•Since cloning creates identical genes and it is a process of replicating a complete genetic constitution, it can significantly hamper the much needed DNA diversity in human beings. The lessening of genes diversity will weaken our adaptation ability.
Similarly, cloning will also severely affect
Evasco 1 Brandon Evasco WRT 102.87 Research Paper - Cloning: The Process and Perspectives Religion and Ethics A clone is a genetic replica of a living organism. According to the University of Utah Press, “Cloning is the creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another. This means that every portion of the organism’s DNA is identical in both the organism and its clone. Cloning provides scientists with a way to efficiently mass manufacture organs for patients…
Zavos, director of the Andrology Institute of America in Lexington, Kentucky. He was testifying before a hearing on the medical science and bioethics of cloning. Legislation under consideration by the US government could ban all research on cloned human embryos, for research or reproductive purposes. Zavos argues that the best way to deal with the risks of human cloning is to legalise and regulate it. Zavos and his former colleague, the controversial Italian fertility doctor Severino Antinori, became…
Running Head: Cloning and Aspects of Cloning 1 Cloning and Aspects of Cloning Debates the Right and Wrong Name University Abstract 2 Cloning has been an ethical and debatable issue since the idea was first developed. There are many ways and processes of how to create cloning and many diseases that can be cured once the big issues are reconciled…
Running head: CLONING DEBATE The Cloning Debate Henrietta Thornton-Verma DeVry Institute of Technology, New York Abstract Scientists are now able to clone living things. The ethics surrounding this development have spurred a fierce debate. Arguments for and against cloning have been presented from a variety of sources. Over the past century, there have been many developments in the field of human biology. One of the most controversial topics to have emerged in recent years is that of…
.............. Pg.8 The highly controversial cloning debate is outlined by looking at different studies and past findings. A brief overview of cloning as well as a short history are given. Next, the useful aspects of cloning are touched upon focusing on the great benefits that would arise should cloning become legalized. Lastly, both the logistical and ethical problems associated with cloning are summarized. Ultimately, society as a whole has to make this decision because…
Adam Roach Honors Biology Mrs. Parks December 9, 2013 Cloning and Gene Mapping: Good or Bad? What would the world be like if we could create alternate versions of ourselves? What if we had the capability to make a copy of ourselves in hopes that they would do work and other tasks for us? These are a few of the things that people could do with cloning. They could exploit this technology for personal gain that is unnecessary, but this scientific advance could also be used to replace dysfunctional…
Prompt #2 Cloning Catastrophe One me, two me, four me, ten me! In Brave New World, cloning has reached a new level. This dystopian society has accepted the wide-spread use of cloning, but will the American society be just as accepting? In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley introduced the concept of human cloning through the Bokanovsky’s Process. This would never be accepted in the American society because of government regulations, religious views, and media perception. The issue of human cloning may violate…
Abstract Leon Kass’s provides a compelling article on why the world should ban cloning. Kass’ article, “Preventing a Brave New World”, provides Kass’ theories of if society progresses on its current path, society would start to turn to cloning as an alternative to typical reproduction. Cloning offers a way to design an offspring rather than the typical experience of child raising. Kass believes if cloning is not banned, society will be more dependent upon technology and be at technologies…
Naturalness and Human Cloning The cloning of human beings is an unnatural event and should not be permitted in a society so based in the long term and traditional processes of procreation and evolution. This paper will discuss the possible viewpoints of human cloning in the world, Leon Cass' beliefs about human cloning, and the arguments, rebuttals and counterarguments necessary to establish a multi-faceted view of the subject. In many philosophies around the world, the belief that…
Cloning Cloning occurs naturally in some plants and in human identical twins, and it is now possible to clone animals artificially. The subject of cloning raises a number of issues which need to be taken into consideration. Cloning is rapidly emerging as one of the most controversial and emotion-laden of topics in today’s world. To clone or not to clone: that is the million-dollar question. The prospect of cloning is highly controversial and raises a number of ethical, legal and social challenges…
