Cloning BY Jaiden lovell

What is the purpose of cloning ? Some scientists would like to clone endangered animals and other things because they want to save them from extinction. Scientists have successfully cloned non- endangered animals like, Namely, Tadpoles, mice and even horses. One day, scientists hope that cloned cells will be used to treat serious diseases such as heart problems, diabetes and spinal injuries. By cloning a person’s own body cells, scientists hope that a cloned stem cell line will not be rejected by the patient receiving the cells. The genetic material will be identical to their own. Cloned cells may one day be used to treat a damaged heart or neurons

HOW DOES CLONING WORK? Cloning may invoke an image of an army of identical cows or sheep churned out factory- style, but in actuality, the process is much more laborious. The term “cloning” generally applies to a process more technically known as somatic cell transfer. Which means the DNA from the cell of an adult animal like cows, called the “donor”, is extracted from the cell (usually a skin cell taken in a biopsy) and inserted into an egg cell from another cow. The egg cell has had its nucleus removed so that it will read duplicate the DNA of the donor cell.

Pros and cons of cloning Pros of Cloning - Defective Genes could be eliminated. Genetics illnesses are not a leading killer of people today, but could in the near future. As humans continually reproduce, damage to their DNA lines increases. This creates mutations and defective genes, but these could be eliminated thanks to the cloning of healthy human cells. - Faster recovery from traumatic injury. From the professional athlete who tears their ACL to the person who becomes a quadriplegic because of a devastating automobile accident, recovery times could be lowered and true healing could occur thanks to the cloning of their own cells to help the recovery process

Pros and cons of cloning It risks the possibility of faster aging. As older cells are often used to create human clones, it is possible that their imprinted age could be adopted by the growing embryos, which can then create some premature aging issues and, potentially, even premature death.   It has seen a lot of failure. Opponents of humans cloning feel is a mute debate, since the technology is primarily unsuccessful. In fact, over 90% of human cloning attempts have been labeled as ‘failure”, which means that a human DNA is only put at risk during the process. As you can see, human DNA is only put at risk during the process. As you can see, human DNA can be contaminated, and the chances of success are very rare. Also, the implications of what happens when the process goes wring are still not fully understood, which is not good and could lead to problems that we will not be able to handle.

What is the ethical consideration of cloning One distinction to keep in mind when reading ethical statements about human cloning is the difference between reproductive cloning (to produce a new human begin or animal) and therapeutic cloning (now often referred to simply as somatic cell nuclear transfer) which creates an embryo for research or therapeutic purposes.

My opinion My opinion on cloning is I think it something that Is very very cool but also very dangerous. I couldn’t imagine when they do human trials and how many of them do not make it. I think cloning is also scary, like people said in a video or 2. Imagine if someone one for ex Hitter was cloned. He was extremely powerful with just one of him. Imagine too of him, cloning could also be a good thing, like when there is a species that’s going extinct and they are cloned and made more.

The future of cloning Regardless of your personal stance, breakthroughs in cloning would lead to a new understanding of biology and medicine. Cloning in the future will happen, there is no doubt about it. It all depends when all of it goes into effect. As soon as human trials are successful there will be so many people in the would the same. Honestly I would hate to live in that time era because if there was cloning then no one would different and I like different. I would much rather prefer to see peoples flaws and strong points, Not people that are the same. Lets just hope that with cloning the personalities of the people are all different
