After the shock, that cloning was not only a possibility but a reality, wore off the out cry against human clon...
Bioethics, which is the study of value judgments pertaining to human conduct in the area of biology and includes those related to the practice of medicine, has been an important aspect of all areas in the scientific field. It is one of the factors that says whether or not certain scientific research...
Cloning has many more advantages than disadvantages. The definition of cloning is to duplicate an organism. Through cloning, you could help thousands of people and animals. Cloning can totally reduce organ donor lists. Cloning can also bring back endangered species. \"Advanced cloning is going to ha...
Recently, we have all seen the controversy over whether or not we should attempt to clone. If you haven\'t heard: A group of scientists in Scotland announced the birth of a sheep cloned from embryonic cells, presaging Dolly. Dolly\'s was the birth heard round the world. The first mammal ever cloned...
As today's society becomes more advanced in research and science, cloning humans seem to be the next step. But why is there a need for such a thing? In "Human Cloning? Don't Just Say No," by Ruth Macklin, she starts by reminding us of when scientists cloned a sheep and how it s...
In his 1930's futuristic novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley predicted a society where the human race was created in a laboratory and carried to term in incubators. At the time it was regarded as being ludicrously impossible. The idea of cloning in the eighties required multiple reproductio...

You did not read the title wrong. It is cloning, not clowns. And this is no laughing matter.

Webster defines a clone as \"the aggreg...
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...
Cloning Is cloning ethical? the majority of the world would say no but the medical research possibilities associated with it are endless.

However the major technological breakthroughs of the twentieth century are considered by some as a boomerang that will...
Introduction For the first time the cloning of a whole human being seems really possible. It is absolutely necessary to consider the harm that can be done and move to curb abuses. Also, it is important to understand some of the theory underlying the desire to build a better human. The Ethical Downsi...
Most people think they know what cloning is. They would define it,probably, as taking a piece of one plant or animal and using it to makeanother just like it. In fact, Brannigan points out that the term "clone"was very likely first used in botany to describe the process of budding.(12) He ...
