In 1997 the world was introduced to a six month old lamb named Dolly, the first successfully cloned mammal, putting everyone around the world into shock. The time has come where our technology in science and medicine have advanced so much that human cloning has left science fiction and has now pr...
Cloning humans is banned in 23 countries. But scientists and researchers are pushing the technology because they believe that human cloning can bring the future with many benefits. In the United States, 4 states have banned human cloning and the law doesn't allow any government funding for...
Human Cloning: Is It Ethical? The amazing advances in technologies and sciences today are mind-boggling. Humans have stepped foot on the moon, they can save each other from physical trauma in a wide array of ways, they can separate atoms into smaller quarks, and they have found medicine for multip...
Webster's Dictionary defines the word cloning, as a noun: A cell, group of cells, or organism that are descended from and genetically identical to a single common ancestor, such as a bacterial colony whose members arose from a single original cell, or an organism descended asexually from a single an...
On February 24, 1997, scientists at the Roslin Institute in Edinburg, England announced that they had cloned an adult mammal for the first time. This was just one of many blind leaps in science that humanity has made. As we race forward in our decisions to create life, we neglect to look at the cons...
Human cloning is one of the world's biggest issues today. Before humans can consider the cloning of one another, they will have to question the concepts of right and wrong. The world has debated the implications of human cloning since 1997 when scientists at the Roslin Institute in Scotland p...
The Future of Cloning 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 (Grolier 220). It i...
Cloning, as of recent years, has become a very controversial issue. Society is firmly divided on the uses and ethics of cloning. Cloning can rang from producing copies of plants and animals to clones of humans and human organs. But cloning can have several positive effects for the well being of soci...
Cloning is defined as the production of a cell or organism with the same nuclear genome as another cell or organism. The word clone is derived from a Greek word for taking a cutting from a plant. To clone is simply to make an exact genetic copy of an existing organism. It is a natural process in ...
Cloning should be an acceptable process in today's society. Cloning, a method, which involves a production of a group of identical cells or organisms that, comes from a single individual. By making cloning acceptable in today's society we are saying that everyone has the right to make a replica of t...

Human cloning isn't as scary as it sounds. In late February 1997 a British scientist named Ian Wilmut and his research team had cloned a lamb named Dolly from an adult sheep. Dolly was made by replacing the DNA of one sheep's egg with the DNA of another sheep's udder. This was an amazing announcemen...
CloningImagine that you were told you could never walk again due to losing a limb in a near death car accident. Imagine that your doctor informs you that your doctor informs you that no donor could be found to replace a damaged lung or liver that has caused you much pain and suffering. Now imagine a...
For the last few decades, cloning was a fictitious idea that lay deep within the pages of some sci-fi novels. The very idea that cloning could one day become reality was thought to be a scientific impossibility by many experts but on one exhilarating day, what was thought to be "purely fiction" beca...
Should Human Cloning be Legal?For years, part of the American public, and humans in general, have been fascinated with the possibility of creating human life by other than natural means. Cloning alters the very meaning of humanity; it is morally, ethically, and spiritually wrong. Many strongly dis...
Most of the clones don't even live to see their birth anyway. That's how it was in 1996 with Dolly, only one of the 277 copying attempts was succesful. Every other lab created embryo died in the Leihmutters womb/body or even in the Petrischale. In the meantime the procedures were improved, but even ...
Cloning has been a very controversial issue in the United States over the past few years. There are two different sides, either one is for the process of cloning or they're not. It's that simple. Strictly speaking, a clone refers to one or more offspring derived from a single ancestor, whose genetic...
HUMAN CLONINGAs technology continues to advance, new breakthroughs are discovered. With these new developments, serious ethical and moral questions arise. Though there are many advantages of cloning, many religions do not agree with it. Many people say that we should not try to interfere with natu...
Cloning: A Controversial DebateSince the beginning of time, man has been afraid of the unknown. The caveman was afraid of fire, Columbus feared falling off the edge of the earth, and modern man fears cloning.Fire has been a friend to man for thousands of years. Although ships are still lost at sea...
