The Is The Greatest Technological Age Yet?

Imagine if you lived in a world where everyone was the same and had no physical differences. Everyone would have the exact same DNA. There would be no diversity within the population. If we continue to clone then this may be a possibility for the future. As of now there have been no cloned humans, but we are not too far away from being able to do so. Scientists have been cloning since as early as 1886, and have been cloning animals since 1996 with the birth of Dolly the sheep. Dolly the sheep was created by using reproductive cloning which is used to produce copies of whole animals (Cloning Fact Sheet NHGRI). Furthermore, there are two other types of cloning; therapeutic cloning and gene cloning. Therapeutic cloning is used to produce embryonic stem cells for medical research (Cloning Fact Sheet NHGRI). Gene cloning is used to produce copies of genes or segments of DNA (Cloning Fact Sheet NHGRI). Cloning should not be allowed because it is inhumane and unethical, results in more failure than it does results, and is unfeasible.

If we started cloning dinosaurs today, very serious ecological problems would arise. Today, the food chain operates in a systematic and orderly fashion. If we were to introduce dinosaurs to it, the food chain would become unbalanced and discombobulated. They also could be very harmful to society. As one can see in the movie, it is very hard to contain them. There were not big cities and heavily populated areas when dinosaurs were here. It would be unfair of us to expect them to automatically

Cloning has been in research for a very long time. People have constantly been trying to create an individual genetically identical to another individual. This type of cloning is not like putting something in a machine and having two come out the other end. Genetic cloning is just trying to get the genetics of two subjects the same. This is similar to what Frankenstein was doing because he was messing with trying to create the perfect human by taking the strongest and biggest parts of the corpse he dug up. The result was the monster being able to withstand extreme conditions and having incredible strength to harm his family and friends. The people trying to perform the cloning of subjects today could eventually be able to make a human being that is bigger, faster, and stronger than all other human beings. The University of West Texas A&M successfully cloned a calf which means they had two calves with the exact same genetic make-up. It is only a matter of time until they start trying this on volunteer

Animal cloning started without the world even knowing. First, an animal clone is “an exact physical copy of one ‘parent’” (Newman 12). “Animal cloning experiments began in the 1960’s. Frogs were the first subjects. By 1987 scientists had begun cloning cows and other mammals” (Newman 12). Dolly the sheep was the first big cloning success, credited to Ian Wilmut in 1996 (Praded 21). This sheep was a scientific breakthrough, but it also caused many people to question the intents of scientists. Many people wondered if scientists would clone humans next. The original intent of animal cloning was not for the food industry. The reason animal cloning started was to find a way to help cure currently untreatable diseases (“Why Do Scientists Clone?”). By cloning cells, scientists will be able to manipulate the cells to become something new.

The progression of cloning technology could prove to be of great use to humans in the future. Further experiments on cloning will add to the understanding of genetics and lead to the production of animals organs that can be accepted by humans. Theoretically cloning could eliminate all problems regard organ transplants by producing animals that can act as suitable organ donors. More extensive cloning processes could also provide a solution for the world’s food inequity problems. Stronger, more resistant plants could be cultivated in large amounts through means provided by cloning techniques. The same idea could be applied to livestock, where common diseases can be eradicated to create stronger breeds.

For years and years the practice of trying to raise and breed the best type of stock or plants possible. For example, the ancient Egyptians have spent years and years trying to breed the best type of Arabian breed horses that could handle the heat and go without water for large amounts of time. All the while having the speed and stamina to accomplish whatever they desired. Also the modern day farmer trying to plant a type of corn that can withstand many different weather conditions and still produce many ears of corn from a single stalk. So as time has showed we have tried and tried to accomplish the goal of better our livestock and plants to get ahead in society. That’s were cloning comes in. According to some, cloning has the chance to

Today’s technology develops so quickly that many impossible things become true; the example is cloning technology. Cloning is a process used to create an exact copy of a mammal by using the complete genetic material of a regular body cell. Different from the common propagate, cloning needs only one cell and without sex. Cloning, as of recent years, has become a very controversial issue in society but cloning can have several positive effects for the well being of society. Many people in society believe that scientists should develop a clone human but many people and especially the government are against human cloning. Hundreds of

Cloning is a number of processes that are used to create genetically identical copies of an organism. Researchers have cloned a number of biological materials, such as genes, cells, tissues and whole organisms, including sheep 's and horses. Cloning can happen naturally in identical twins, but it can also be done in a lab. ("Cloning Fact Sheet").

Jurassic Park is one of the most well-known movies today. The fact that dinosaurs that were extinct billions of years ago were brought back to life fascinates people who watch. Unfortunately, it is not possible to bring dinosaurs back to life, but there are scientists that are reviving other extinct animals. The technology that makes this possible is cloning. In fact, cloning of extinct animals is one of the most controversial issues in science today.

When Dolly, the first cloned sheep entered in the news, the cloning controversy is becoming more prominent. Not only researchers, the general public became interested in knowing how cloning is done as well as engage in the pros and cons.

Cloning is defined as the “creation of an exact copy of a living matter, such as a cell or organism” according to Encarta encyclopedia. The copies produced through cloning have identical genetic makeup and are known as clones. Scientists use cloning techniques in the laboratory to create copies of cells or organisms with valuable traits.

Modern technology is used in everyday life. We rely on it all day, everyday. We also rely on technology to solve our problems or enhance our customs of life. Few people do not take in account the momentous condition of genetic cloning. Genetic Cloning is the process of replicating or copying genes of any organism. This operation would have been an unbelievable and impossible phenomenal in the last centuries. It may have included religious belief such as the idea of man working with the devil. However, when films were developed relating to scientific outbreaks in 1900s, the impossible that was once extinct was replicated such as the distinguished film “Jurassic Park”. This film brought alive the theory of genetic cloning, giving both the virtue

Science today is developing at warp speed. We have the capability to do many things, which include the cloning of actual humans! First you may ask what a clone is? A clone is a group of cells or organisms, which are genetically identical, and have all been produced from the same original cell. There are three main types of cloning, two of which aim to produce live cloned offspring and one, which simply aims to produce stem cells and then human organs. These three are: reproductive cloning, embryo cloning and therapeutic cloning. The goal of therapeutic cloning is to produce a healthy copy of a sick person's tissue or organ for transplant, and the goal of both reproductive cloning and embryo cloning is to

The world of technology has advanced exponentially in the past few years. Anything you can think of from flying cars to face recognition software have become viral. These ideas that used to be science fiction, are now apart of our everyday lives. Some more modern technology might be fascinating, and what some may say is ahead of its time, there are some pieces of technology and certain scientific processes that have been around for many years and are just as equally extravagant as they were when they were first created. One example of this is cloning. Cloning is creating an organism to be genetically identical to another. Even though cloning hasn’t come up until recently, cloning was first successfully done in 1885 on a sea urchin by Hans

     During the past few centuries, technology has reached a new level. With breakthroughs from the invention of electricity to the development of the Internet, these advances have made a huge impact on society. Every day brings the question of what will come next, and what technologies will further enhance the world. Science fiction novels and movies are essentially based on the wonder of future technologies. One of the biggest issues in the development of technology is cloning. The word clone is used in many different contexts in biological research but in its most simple and strict sense, it refers to a precise genetic copy of a molecule, cell, plant, animal, or human being.1
