    In recent years, cloning has been a controversial topic, being highly debated by scientists, politicians, and philosophers alike while invigorating popular culture through works such as Star Wars or Aldous Huxley 's’ Brave New World (Brock E-3). However, the fantastical examples of cloning to increase labor supply or selective cloning to create a caste system as these works depict, are highly irrelevant to problems society faces today with the prospect of cloning. Current medical technology suggests

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:

    Cloning Can Cause Conflicts Remember the birth of Dolly the sheep in 1996? No? Dolly was the first cloned mammal and for many she symbolizes a slippery slope to a cloned human, which stimulated a discussion about the ethics and morality of human cloning. How far are scientists allowed to go, and who gives them that permission? How about the clone itself? Experiments on humans without their consent are forbidden, and cloning is exactly that. Human Cloning oversteps scientists’ boundaries and endangers

    some movies, cloning in real life doesn’t produce a full grown exact replica of someone. A type of cloning that occurs naturally is when identical twins are born (“What Is Cloning?”). Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a type of cloning that has to be done in a lab. In SCNT they take the nucleolus out of an egg cell, replace it with the nucleolus of a somatic cell (body cell with two complete sets of chromosomes), and make the egg cell divide into a blastocyst (“What Is Cloning?”).
