    Introduction- Cloning is defined as two organisms having identical genetic DNA and has been around since the early 1800s. When people think of the word ‘cloning’ many think of Dolly the sheep; however, the first organism to ever be cloned was a sea urchin in 1885. When scientists created Dolly, they took a cell from the mammary gland from an adult Finn Dorset sheep and an egg cell from a Scottish blackhead sheep. Dolly’s white face was the first sign that she was genetically modified because if she

    Human cloning experimentation is a topic that has gotten more awareness in the past few years due to the many scientific discoveries that have been made such as Dolly the sheep. Even with the scientific advancements in cloning of mammals, there have bene many debates about human cloning experimentation or reproductive cloning. In the case of this debate, I think that human cloning experimentation should not occur due to aspects such as benefits to the scientific community, safety, consent, exploitation

    Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer is the most commonly used method for cloning. The process of this method consists of having the nucleus removed from the unfertilized egg and then replacing it with the new material from the somatic cell's nucleus. Once all of that is done, then the cell must be stimulated in order to divide (Dinç 239). With the success rate of a tenth percent to three percent, it is obvious that this method is unreliable ("What are the Risk" par. 3). Clearly with the amount of failures

    There are two sides to the morality of genetically modifying animals for the purpose of pharming and xenotransplantation: the potential benefits and the reality. Although genetic modification of mammals carries promises of being able to use said modified mammals as a source of materials used in pharmaceuticals or creating mammalian species with organs that can be transplanted in humans, the reality is that reproductive cloning in mammals has a low success rate. Because of the high demand for organs
