Human Cloning, now that's a term that you have probably heard before. Maybe you don't really understand cloning how it works and why a lot of people are against it. Well that's exactly what I hope to explain. When I started to research Human Cloning I wasn't really sure what I wanted to include but there is a ton of information about it and I learned a lot and hope that you will learn what I did by reading this research report. I hope you learn how it works, what it takes to clone something, and how successful it has been so far.
             Cloning is a way of reproducing without sex. It has been used for many years to produce plants and other species. Animal cloning has been the subject of scientific experiments for years, but has gotten little attention until the birth of the first cloned mammal in 1997, a sheep named Dolly. Since Dolly, scientists have cloned other animals, including cows and mice. About a couple of years ago on January 8, 2001 a baby animal called the "Bull Gaur" which is dangerously close to complete extinction was taken from the wild and was successfully cloned.
             As far as Human Cloning goes, scientists have proven that it is possible to do, but rarely does the embryo make it through birth. Dolly the sheep took 277 attempts to create. If human cloning proceeds, scientists plan to use somatic cell nuclear transfer, which is the same procedure that was used to create Dolly the sheep.
             Somatic cell nuclear transfer begins when doctors take the egg from a donor and remove the nucleus of the egg, creating an enucleated egg. A cell, which contains DNA, is then taken from the person who is being cloned. The enucleated egg is then fused together with the cloning subject's cell using electricity. This creates an embryo, which is implanted into a surrogate mother through in vitro fertilization.
             If the procedure is successful, then the surrogate mother will give birth
