    human cloning is becoming a feasible practice. Recently there has been a successful cloning of a sheep, so scientists start to speculate the different uses of cloning human embryos. The three forms of cloning that stand out are reproductive cloning, therapeutic cloning, and cloning for scientific research. Cloning should be permitted, but only reproductive cloning should be permitted with a limit on the number of babies a person or family can reproduce. The arguments that support cloning depend

    Throughout the years, cloning has fascinated the imaginations of many authors, scientists, and a large portion of the human population. There are many people of both sides of the debate concerning both human and animal cloning. From what has been inferred from Henry David Thoreau's essay, Civil Disobedience, it would be logical to assume that he would be in support of human and animal cloning. The government has always done an exceptionally good job at interfering in issues or debates which require an

    Senate is considering a proposal to outlaw human cloning. Two alternative proposals would ban only "reproductive cloning," which would mean explicitly legalizing human cloning but not the implantation of a clone embryo into a womb. Pro-cloners are willing for the most part to outlaw reproductive cloning because it isn't safe, but they oppose a ban on cloning for research and experimentation--known as "therapeutic cloning"--arguing that such a cloning license is necessary to the development of future

    public. Human cloning is a topic that a health care provider should heavily think about. Although there are advantages to this technological process, there are more negatives that outweigh the positives. The process of human cloning involves many complications such as interfering with the distinctiveness and individuality of a person, dignity, later development, and most importantly the debate concerning the issue of destroying embryos. The ethical issues dealing with human cloning is beyond the

    create new ideas and give hope to the human population, but some discoveries are out of mankind 's hands. Cloning is starting to become a real development but issues such as later development issues, overpopulation and the idea of decreasing natural individuality keep it at a standstill. While Cloning is at a standstill there are things that make it an interesting research development. Cloning: the complete copy of an original piece. With all the downfalls of the new technology idea, some are blinded

    genetic modifications led to the conflictions concerning the ethics of this process. Too much time and money has already been wasted on cloning. Human cloning, and those practicing it, would cause the controversy to go worldwide and continue to be a debate even today. Human cloning should not be up for debate, it should in fact be banned worldwide. Cloning is said to have begun in 1885, when Dreisch separated an embryo of a sea urchin and made two complete sea urchins. Genetic modifications

    Ever since the first cloned animal, Dolly the sheep, in 1996 the argument has arose that if cloning a human is appropriate. Not only is there an argument for human cloning but, in the past couple years there has been many debates on whether it is right or wrong to clone a horse. Cloning refers to the process of creating genetically similar organisms or the production of organisms that are genetically identical through the transfer of somatic cells of an existing organism and transferring it to

Cloning can happen naturally in identical twins, but it can also be done in a lab. ("Cloning Fact Sheet"). Pros: . Parents with no eggs and sperm can create children that are genetically related to them. . Endangered plants and animals can

    the world on 23 February 1997.Soon after the announcement, the media attention was diverted by the possibility of cloning a human. Although the scientists from the Roslin Institute who had made the significant breakthrough with Dolly denied the possibility of creating human clones, the idea was still wide debated about the risks and benefits of human cloning. So, what is cloning? Cloning is a process of generating a new organism by an identical genetic copy of the original donor. The DNA of the two

    Cloning is the process by which a genetically identical copy of an organism has naturally occurred or been created in a laboratory. A process of cloning can be completed on a wide range of biological materials, including genes, tissues, cells and entire organisms (Genetics Generation, 2015). The first-ever demonstration of artificial embryo twinning was accomplished on a sea urchin by Hans Adolf Eduard Driesch in 1885 (Oppenheimer, 2016), yet the most significant cloning example was attained in 1996
