Cloning Can Cause Conflicts?

There are some people that have been very anxious with cloning because they believe it is something new, but in reality it was introduced in the 1950s. It started with cloning food and has moved onto cloning animals. It has been successful on many different cases and a famous one is the cloning of a sheep named Dolly. Dolly lived to be six and a half years old and she had six kids. People believe that cloning should be illegal but we believe that scientists should clone endangered or extinct species in order to preserve them, here’s why.

What was once thought to be the content of fiction novels and comic books is now being fully explored and realized in the cutting edge world of modern science. Scientists now possess the necessary capabilities and technology to make the process of human cloning a reality. While this is a controversial and rather sensitive topic, cloning is an innovative practice that has the potential to vastly improve the lives of unlimited amounts of people. Although cloning may prove to be a useful remedy for many of today’s issues, there are those in the scientific and medical fields who remain vehemently opposed to its practice. It is for this reason that lawmakers, scientists, and doctors around the world are currently locked in a fierce standoff

In 1885, there was the first ever demonstration of artificial embryo cloning of a sea urchin. While that is a relatively noncomplex organism, by 1996 scientist in Scotland where able to clone a sheep, a mammal, through somatic cell nuclear transfer. Everyday there is some kind of scientific break through but they are not all good. It took them two hundred seventy seven failures to create the sheep. The ethical issues are not where it stops; if government where able to clone humans it could lead to the construction of super soldiers, genetically modifies humans, which could lead to war on a global scale. So the United States should have stricter laws on research into human cloning to avoid a war the could wipe out the entire planet.

Six years ago, an event in genetic history changed our perspective on "reproduction" and added to our conscience a new element in the study of biology. On February 23, 1997, the world was introduced to Dolly, a 6-month-old lamb that was cloned from a single cell taken from the tissue of an adult donor. Ever since the birth of this sheep, a question that never before existed now lingers in the mind of many: should human cloning be a part of our society?

The topic of cloning has been a science fiction legend until Dolly, the first cloned mammal, was born in the late 1990s. Dolly’s cloning renewed the interest in the potential of human cloning as seen in science fiction. Cloning has been done since the 1950s, but every cloning experiment included problems. When cloning mice, researches can use thousands of eggs to fix errors, but human cloning cannot use the same knowledge learned from cloning cows. With human cloning there is an “…extremely high rate of death…” and chance of abnormalities that cause the ethical concern for cloning humans (Rettner).

Human cloning has advanced dramatically over the years. The first breakthrough in science was cloning a sea urchin in 1885. It

The ethical concerns with cloning didn’t become a problem until Dolly, the sheep, was created. Many years before Dolly very similar experiments were being performed; however, those experiments did not spark much public concern regarding cloning. Over fifty years

Ever since the birth of the first cloned sheep, named Dolly, the dream of human cloning has existed (Van Dijck, 1999). Cloning a mammal is described as the manipulation of an animal or human cell in order to create an identical copy of that animal’s or human’s nucleic DNA (Andrews, 1997). Though the dream of a human clone also comes with a lot of controversy regarding ethics and morals. Embryotic stem cell research, which could lead to a renewable source of human tissue, cells and eventually entire organs (Bowring, 2004), is highly controversial due to the necessity of placing a cloned embryo into a woman’s body

The science in biology allows us to discuss living things, organisms, and the creation of life. The United States banned all kinds of cloning in 2005, but there is still a curiosity in if it can lead to improvement in human existence. Cloning is about composing an identical organism out of the given DNA and constructing it to appear as natural as it originally did. Experiments and approval for human cloning may be in many years to come and out of reach today. As far as animal cloning, we know to a point it’s safe. If we continued the exploration in genetic replication on species, breeding animals can enable us to provide food for a growing global population, and save endangered species. An article like Dolly the Sheep’s Fellow Clones, Enjoying Their Golden Years, the writer brings attention to cloning as being a possible answer to the problems we harbor

From Star Wars to the Jurassic Park movies cloning has always been a science fiction story that was light years ahead of us. But with recent evidence and research to clone living organisms, the far away fantasies of cloning we have been dreaming about for many years is rapidly becoming a reality, even faster than we think. Twenty years ago, in 1997, Dolly the Sheep was the first successful clone to be produced from an adult mammal. In the article “The Coming of Clones” American Scientists announced in 2013 that they had for the first time successfully obtained stem cells from cloned human embryos (the building blocks of cloning life). Due to this announcement and the cloning of Dolly, cloning has become a debatable topic that has both negative

Cloning has always been thought of as something futuristic like something right out of a mad scientists mind, as in movie or book. It has been used in countless media forms such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park and many other iconic films. The media betrayal has put cloning to fame. Most of the world has heard of cloning and many ideas come to mind, however most of the thoughts that come to mind are misconstrued and outdated due to media misconceptions and conclusions drawn upon by the public. That being said, cloning’s overall myths or rumors get built into what people believe to become common knowledge or facts about cloning. Cloning is much more than just making a copy of a person or some kind of object.

Since March 1997, the birth of a cloned sheep, named Dolly, has caused a great sensation around the world. Though it was not the first time that the experiment using cloning succeeded, the reason why Dolly shocked the world was that she was the first clone from a cell of an adult mammal, something previously thought to be impossible. This meant that the possibility of cloaning human beings was increased. For fear of realizing human cloning, a lot of countries have taken necessary measures to regulate the study of it. Some people, such as scientists in this field and certain infertile couples, are now arguing against banning it. But I think we should ban human cloning because it has a possibility to reduce the value of our life, to take away

If a random individual were asked twenty years ago if he/she believed that science could clone an animal, most would have given a weird look and responded, “Are you kidding me?” However, that once crazy idea has now become a reality, and with this reality, has come debate after debate about the ethics and morality of cloning. Yet technology has not stopped with just the cloning of animals, but now many scientists are contemplating and are trying to find successful ways to clone human individuals. This idea of human cloning has fueled debate not just in the United States, but also with countries all over the world. I believe that it is not morally and ethically right

The cloning of humans is now very close to reality, thanks to the historic scientific breakthrough of Dr. Ian Wilmut and his colleagues in the UK. This possibility is one of incredible potential benefit for all of us. Unfortunately the initial debate on this issue has been dominated by misleading, sensationalized accounts in the news media and negative emotional reactions derived from inaccurate science fiction. Much of the negativity about human cloning is based simply on the breathtaking novelty of the concept rather than on any real undesirable consequences. On balance, human cloning would have overwhelming advantages if regulated in a reasonable way. A comprehensive ban on human cloning by a misinformed public would be a sorry

Many ethical and moral dilemmas arise when discussing human cloning, and one can have many positions for and against each. To understand the issues surrounding human cloning, one must have a basic
