Abstract

p Cloning humans was once a fantasy of Science-Fiction authors , which now has become a reality . Cloning adult mammals is achievable now and is definitely in the reach of science . It has become clear once more how technological progress can force us to review our moral principles again . Cloning has been defined as the scientist 's ability to use DNA technology to produce exact multiple copies of a single gene or other segment of DNA , this means that every single bit of HYPERLINK "javascript 20glossary 'dna " DNA is the same as the other

Cloning , in these recent years , has become a very notorious issue Society is firmly separated on the uses and morals of cloning . Cloning techniques can be used to produce copies of plants and animals to the extent of clones of humans and even human organs . But cloning can contribute for several positive aspects as well for the well being of society . For example , cloning animals can have several implications Foremost , is the benefit of humans . First , cloning animals can help us understand the functioning of how our cells divide , multiply and operate , and also learn how to fix certain diss . There lie numerous possibilities of making use of cloning in a positive way , but with that keeping in mind that every experiment has its own risks and loses

But definitely there are major ethical , religious and political concerns regarding all these types of cloning , as it relates to humans . As researches state that cloning has a potential of creating a twin of an existing human , it also underlies the risks of severe genetic defects During the procedure many embryos die , and only one succeeds out of the many . According to some conservative thought it is considered the death of a baby of a human being hence , this technology is considered as highly unethical . Eventually a decision was evaluated collectively to ban the cloning of human beings legally , and so the policies are being obeyed in most parts of the world

Types of Cloning

Embryo cloning

This is a medical process which produces monozygotic (identical ) twins or triplets . It basically copies the method used by nature to produce twins or triplets . One or more cells are removed from a fertilized embryo and let them to develop into further multiple embryos . Thus exact copies of a single gene or an identical DNA are formed

This has been practiced for many years on various species of animals but only very less experimented on humans Reproductive cloning

Through this technique the scientist intends to...
