called Dolly . The aim of this is to evaluate and analyze the negative impact of human cloning in the lights of diverse and broad academic resources

Human Reproductive Cloning

First of all it is essential to study non human reproductive cloning Bearing in mind , there has been sheer loss of life for the creation of one Dolly the sheep . Scientists often emphasize on the fact that the rate of cloning failure is high . More than two hundred stillborn miscarried or dead sheep were used to create one dolly . Only nineteen embryos were labeled healthy while others were removed . The remaining number of embryos left was five out of which four had died because of abnormalities (Harris , 354 . These abnormalities led to the questions on the possible health risks to pregnant women who would carry cloned fetus . For example , one abnormality was related to dimension of the fetus . The cloned fetus could grow into abnormal dimensions which is numerous times...
