there are many ways that cloning can help to improve lives, there are still some people who worry that it could do the opposite. This sparks a debate over the moral and legal issues of cloning, and how it could deprive humans of their lives in certain ways of cloning such as reproductive cloning. They worry that embryos and fetus’ will be grown for their stem cells, which is essential for cloning. "Several countries have enacted legislation to ban human cloning.”(Cloning) as well as “several states

Running head: The Ethics of Cloning The Ethics of Cloning Team D: Casey Krueger, Erin Lee, Ferdinand Malarayap, Marvin Monge, and Ibrahim Mortada August 14, 2011 DeVry University Online Stem cell research and cloning have become a major topic of interest in countries all around the world ever since Dolly the sheep was successfully cloned in 1997. Every single country has their own views about stem cell research and cloning because of their moral and ethical issues. Muslims, for example

the future have in store for us? Scientist are starting to look into human cloning and the purpose for doing so is to have organ transplants and for experimentation. We have already cloned animals and the reason they do it, is mainly for testing. But, it did take a lot of tries before they could actual clone anything. One case that was heard around the world was the sheep called “Dolly”. She was produced by reproductive cloning and this all happens inside a laboratory. One day, scientists hope that

Stem Cells: Past, Present, and Future Timothy T. Botts DeVry University: Online FALA10 Sec N Professor Jackie Sexson Stem cells are a difficult topic to breach without heated words arising on both sides of the debate. Research Legislation on stem cells has a long history, but in the United States, it is quite young. It seems with the change in the political powers of America comes a change in the views of stem cell research and its legislation. The NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 was signed

Another Me Cloning. Kind of cool? Kind of scary? Most things in life are. There's always been the thoughts of 'what-if-there's-another-me' throughout history. Well, what else is there to say but that cloning is already here? Many people are familiar with the story of 'Dolly' the cloned Finn Dorset sheep born from a Scottish Blackface mother; but are perhaps unaware that the process has been tried on multiple other animals. The most recent miracle occurring in Japan that resulted in a mouse being

Response In the article “Human Cloning Debate: Why Do It? Who’d Be Hurt? Should It Be Legal?” by Peter Kendall from the Chicago Tribute, the author showed both the pros and cons of cloning. First of all, the author mentioned a man who has genetic problem, so he cannot pass his trait to his next generation. Then, the author made a question to his reader about should cloning be legal and introduce to the world or not. After that, he gave out several facts to support that cloning is good. For instance, it

to face the fact that there is only one of you? With cloning this can be possible! There has been much speculation in the world over the topic of cloning human beings. Most people are misinformed or just have lack of knowledge on the subject. Cloning humans could benefit us in a multitude of ways, especially in the fields of medical research, organ harvesting, the pursuit in creating the perfect soldier and in providing you extra help. Cloning can be extremely important with finding cures for those

cloned from an adult cell. Previous clonings have been from embryo cells. The sheep's birth has been heralded as one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of the decade although it is likely to spark ethical controversy. Scientists in Scotland cloned a ewe by inserting DNA from a single sheep cell into an egg and implanted it in a surrogate mother. They now have a healthy seven-month-old sheep - Dolly - who is an exact genetic duplicate of the animal from which the single cell was taken

| Scientists aim to bring mammoth back to lifeThe Yomiuri ShimbunMammoths, which went extinct about 10,000 years ago, may once again walk the Earth.A team of researchers will attempt to resurrect the species using cloning technologies after obtaining tissue this summer from the carcass of a mammoth preserved in a Russian mammoth research laboratory. It has already established a technique to extract DNA from frozen cells."Preparations to realize this goal have been made," said Prof. Akira Iritani

carefully monitored. Right now sheep and other animals are being cloned. Soon primates and Humans could be cloned. I think we should further investigate human cloning for research on the parenting process and other physiological experiments that can only be used now on identical twins separated at birth. These experiments when used could be used to gain insight on what our genes determine in our personalities. I also think that the achievement of us humans cloning ourselves would be a great achievement for
