Can we and should we clone humans? Cloning humans has recently become a possibility that seems much more feasible in today's society than it was twenty years ago. It is a method that involves the production of a group of identical cells or organisms that all derive from a single individual. Changes in science and technology have never been so advancing. The study of genetics has made discoveries about humans that were by no means thought possible. Asexual, a trait humans never dreamed of acquiring has begun to become true. Cloning is a working progress, and even though it is not perfect, it is on it way to revolutionize the world. Unfortunately the movement of cloning has been brought to a halt, caused from the controversy between whether cloning is ethical or not. The discovery of cloning has not only become an issue of science evolution but an issue of whether humans are doing the right thing by continuing the research on human cloning.
             Cloning began with the discovery and advancement in genetic research. Genetics research began around the mid 19th century. Gregor Mendel, called the Father of Genetics, surrounded his research with plants. He understood how the genes affected the plants when going through reproduction. (Life, The Science of Biology) Later scientist used the technique developed by Mendel to find discoveries of human genes. Recently in the year 2003 the 13 year long Human Genome Project was completed. It contained
             information of all 25,000 genes in the human DNA. This discovery of the Human Genome Project encouraged the advancements in cloning. (Human Genome Project)
             Although the issue of human cloning has received the most attention within the last couple of years, cloning techniques have existed since the late 1970s. Scientist began with mice and farm animals, and then gradually worked their way towards humans. By the 1980s and early 1990s, while Ronald Reagan and George Bush were president, r...
