Human Cloning
Have you ever heard anyone make a statement similar to this one, "Everyone has an identical twin somewhere in the world." Well, ever since most of us have been young, we can recall hearing this at least once or twice. The one thing to be questioned here is, "Could it be true?" As of now, there is no proof that it is true, but if science keeps advancing as it has been, then in a very short period of time, this could be a true statement. The way this would happen would be through the new technology of human cloning. To clone someone you would create another person, who in essence is, their identical twin, at least genetically. Although, technically, this has not yet been accomplished, it seems to be very close to happening. Scientist have predicted that within the next few years a human will be cloned (What is a Clone...). First, to start off, one person is quoted as saying, "There are many ways in which human cloning is expected to benefit mankind." Scientists have stated that cloning can be used to reverse heart attacks. To do this the healthy heart cells would first be carefully cloned, and then injected intot the areas of the heart that have been damaged (Human Cloning Foundation). Human stem cells, which are also though
As stated earlier, Dolly is the first animal ever to be cloned from a specialized adult cell (Dolly the Sheep). On July 5, 1998, a single cow was cloned into two identical calves in Japan. Previously, a sample of tissue was taken from the udder of 6-year-old ewe (female sheep) and cultured in a dish (Dolly 1). To better explain why Dolly was so special; in previous experiments with cattle and mice, the "donor" chromosomes came from very early embryos, or in the case of cloned frogs, from young tadpoles. Some examples are as follows: On February 16, 1998, U. Of course, it may have benefits if ever accomplished, but I don't think it is worth the risk. There are many religious leaders and followers who are against the whole idea of cloning. scientists cloned a Holstein cow who was soon named "Gene". gov/nihHTML/use/snapshots/multimedia/ritn/dolly/index. Cloning is unknown and misunderstood so people shun the idea.
