You did not read the title wrong. It is cloning, not clowns. And this is no laughing matter. As technology advances and scientists and engineers become more and more clever, we must be careful not to take God\'s place in creation by making copies of ourselves. Webster defines a clone as \"the aggreg...
Research Paper: CloningToday, humankind lives in a world of technology, technology that is rapidly advancing and presenting more ways to improve life. The cloning of animals and humans are part of this technology, parts which can ultimately lead to the reassurance and pro-longing of life as we now k...
The Cloning War: Moral or Immoral?Outside the lab where the cloning had actually taken place, most of us thought it could never happen. Oh we would say that perhaps at some point in the distant future, cloning might become feasible through the use of sophisticated biotechnologies far beyond those ...
Since the late seventies scientists have been cloning mammals using cells taken from embryos. In July 1996, medical history was made when a sheep named Dolly was cloned. The only thing that set Dolly the sheep apart from the other clones was that she was cloned from an adult sheep cell. Befor...
As many people already know cloning has become a larger issue in the last few years. Throughout this report I will inform you of everything I know about cloning. I will start off with the definition of cloning. Then I will explore how cloning works. I will present important dates in cloning histo...
Cloning How would you feel if someone you loved was on thier death bed and was awaiting a heart transplant from an organ donor, but there wasn't enough time. How grateful would you be if that person had the opportunity to live longer from a cloned heart? This is only one of the benefits of cloni...
On February 24, 1997, the world was shocked and fascinated by the announcement of Ian Wilmut and his colleagues. A press release stated that they had successfully cloned a sheep from a single cell of an adult sheep. Since then, cloning has become one of the most controversial and widely discussed to...
Cloning, the scientific reproduction of cells, could be a helpful discovery for the world, yet it may be the most disastrous, one eventually destroying all of mankind as we know it. Researchers are devoting much time to studying the cloning human beings, while animal cloning is currently underway in...
Cloning.........Legal?As our world travels into a new millennium, the progress of shifting gears manually is becoming obsolete. Cloning has branched into many separate divisions. Scientists throughout the world have undergone strenuous research of cloning humans, animals, and many more subjects. ...

Human cloning has always caught the public imagination even though scientists are afraid of the public's reaction. For years, scientists have been telling us that human cloning was impossible and would never be possible. Yesterday's science fiction is today's reality. Human cloning means designer ...
I have often wondered what I would be like if certain things in my checkered past had not occurred. What would I be like if I had been brought up in a stable environment or had gone to a different school, or not walked out the door on a specific day? What ifs of life that if we actually sat and thou...
According to the American Heritage Dictionary, cloning is to make multiple identical copies of a DNA sequence, to reproduce or propagate asexually. A clone is a group of genetically identical cells descended from a single common ancestor, such as a bacterial colony whose members arose from a single...
Should Human Cloning be Legalized? The ability to reproduce human beings without sexual reproduction is no longer only an idea to be explored in sci-fi movies and books. After over forty years of research and development, human cloning is quickly becoming a reality. Cloning captured the public...
On February 24, 1997, the birth of a cloned sheep shocked the public of the United States . The prospects of human cloning and the uses of cloning technology in genetic engineering quickly became a highly debated issue. The sides to the debate were easily drawn. Many felt that the use of cloning wo...
Human Cloning What if you were able to pick your child? Imagine just looking through a beauty magazine and pointing a finger, saying, "That's the one", and 9 months later the person that you have picked is born. This concept is not that far out of reach. In the near future a woma...
What is a Clone?A clone is a group of genetically identical cells or organisms . Cloning can occur naturally in nature. Single-celled organisms such as bacteria reproduce asexually, the process by which a new organism is produced from only a single parent. Cloning TechniquesThere are three main ...
Tremendous advances in knowledge and medical technology have been made over the past century. Major breakthroughs in the field of medicine and engineering have produced more new equipment and procedures than ever before. The problem is that with all this technology comes the issue of cloning. People...
What exactly is cloning? Well, cloning is making an exact copy of an animal or plant, or exact copies of certain cells of plants and animals. Cloning can be very dangerous and there are many risks involved, since we are not really acquainted with the subject. Some scientists on the other hand, think...
In Philip Hefner's article Cloning as Quintessential Human Act he claims that cloning of humans is acceptable if it is done with great care, with special attention given to the fact that one does not destroy the "spiritual dimension of life". Hefner presents several arguments in his s...
1 Human Cloning Ban Cloning is best defined as the making of genetically identical copies of a single cell or entire organism (Human Cloning 36). Until recently, scientists believed that animals could only be cloned by the process of combining a cell in the embryonic stage with an egg and fe...
In this day and age Cloning is a large topic. This topic entails many moral and ethical issues. Cloning research is being done across the world and has been preformed many times with animals and humans. Why is cloning such a touchy topic? Is it because are people afraid of a modern day Frankenst...
The idea of cloning humans has always stirred debate, raising moral and ethical issues. As research and experiments continue delve into the frontiers of technology and science, we inch closer to the possibility of cloning becoming a reality. In fact, it is unrealistic to assume it will nev...
The speed in which the field of genetics has expanded in the society of today, is quite overwhelming. The progress in science has offered many benefits over the course of human history. It removed deceptive sources of fear, groundless superstitions, misconceptions, and also helped people to under...
