However in this day and age, scientists have taken it upon themselves to try their hand at cloning mammals with an increasing possibility of human cloning on just on the horizon. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information or the NCBI, “somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT)

    The Advantages of Cloning The first successfully cloned mammal was created on February of 1997. It was a breakthrough in scientific research when the Scottish scientists cloned a sheep by the name of Dolly. The method of cloning requires the extraction of DNA from anywhere on a subject's body and inserting that DNA into a woman's egg. Worldwide attention was turned to the prospect of human cloning and with a push for sweeping prohibition (Tribe 459) legislatures around the world banned any

    Human cloning is creating a genetically identical copy of a human, human cell, or tissue. In 1997, a sheep named Dolly was cloned successfully; unfortunately, that clone didn’t live long. It later then became a big controversy if scientists should continue the cloning experiments on animals. In 2004, South Korea ended up successfully cloning thirty embryos. Many people have argued that it’s the future and will benefit those who can’t have children. In spite of that, the cloning technology can cause

    The Benefits of Cloning Imagine having a twin that looks and acts exactly like you. Even more interesting this twin is a product of scientific cloning. If scientists have their way, identical replicas of human beings will be roaming the earth. This scientific vision may occur a lot more recent then many think. Cloning can be (better) understood by looking at it’s definition, process, and some examples. This first step to better understanding cloning is to hear precisely what it is. Cloning

    connotation due to the introduction of cloning. With a mature somatic cell, such as a skin cell, and a DNA containing nucleus from a female egg cell - a whole new life can be created. The health of our future generations could greatly improve through the use of cloning and the many benefits it has in store, such as being able to remove defective genes and generate fast recovery from traumatic injuries using embryonic stem cells (Smith, “The Benefits of Human Cloning”). Many health issues in today’s society
