    usually found in older sheep. This raised the suspicion that cloning may or may not be connected with certain diseases that may be abnormal to mammals in a young stage in their life. After the successful cloning of Dolly, scientists have attempted to clone other mammals such as dogs, pigs, cows, and cats. Recent study has brought the discussion on whether or not our science is advanced enough to clone human beings. Although cloning human beings can lead to medical discoveries and breakthroughs

    Human cloning has been around since 1952 and up to this day, the issues surrounding cloning of humans remain a hot topic. People are divided on both sides of the controversy and morally the arguments are broader. The word “cloning” is mostly used in everyday communication to mean and represent many different technological procedures. More specifically, cloning is defined as somatic cell nuclear transfer. Human cloning is a very controversial topic as well as a tremendous breakthrough in today’s technology

    Kant and Kass Tackle the Cloning Dilemma Although there are some important benefits to the use of human cloning, there are also moral challenges as well. The benefits include eradicating defective genes and infertility and a quicker recovery from traumatic injuries among other advantages. However, the disadvantages are truly thought provoking as first an individual must answer the question, “When does a human life begin?” This paper will oppose the use of human cloning on the basis that life begins

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:

    cell research, human cloning is yet another major controversial topic within stem cell research. When it comes to the human cloning issues, one must look at the two types of cloning. Reproductive cloning involves creating an animal that is genetically identical to a donor animal through somatic cell nuclear transfer (Hollowell). In reproductive cloning, the newly created embryo is placed back into the uterine environment where it can implant and develop. Therapeutic cloning involves the removal of
