2. How Human Cloning Works. ●Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human. The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning, which is the reproduction of human cells and tissue. ● There are three different types of artificial cloning: gene cloning, reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning. ● Gene cloning produces copies of genes or segments of DNA. Reproductive cloning produces copies of whole animals. Therapeutic cloning produces embryonic stem cells for experiments aimed at creating tissues to replace injured or diseased tissues. ● Gene cloning, also known as DNA cloning, is a very different process from reproductive and therapeutic cloning. Reproductive and therapeutic cloning share many of the same techniques, but are done for different purposes.

3. Pro’s of Human cloning ● Reproductive cloning can provide genetically related children for people who cannot be helped by other fertility treatments. ● Reproductive cloning would allow same sex couples to have a child without having to use a sperm donor ● Reproductive cloning could allow parents of a child who has died to seek redress for their loss. ● The number of men and women who do not produce eggs or sperm at all is very small, and has been greatly by modern techniques. Further, this argument appropriates the phrase "genetically related" to embrace a condition that has never before occurred in human history.

4. Pro’s of Human Cloning ●Reproductive cloning can provide genetically related children for people who cannot be helped by other fertility treatments who do not produce eggs or sperm. ● Genetic illnesses are not a leading killer of people today, but they could be 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. ●Though infertility treatments today are somewhat successful, imagine being able to take cloned cells to create a younger twin of a mother or father? This would create the opportunity for an infertile couple to experience the joys of having a family without enduring the painful infertility procedures that are common today.

6. Con’s of Human Cloning ●Topics on the Con side of human cloning ●Speeds up aging over time. ●Religious aspects. ●Your Identity. ●Reduce in human life.

7. Aging over time ●They use older cells to create a human clone. ●There could be a possibility that it could imprint the age on the growing embryo. ●This could cause both the person and their clone to prematurely aging and a premature death.

8. Religious aspects of Human Cloning ●Human cloning is a very heated debate when it comes to religions. ●Only one religion fully supports human cloning and that is Raelism, Raelism is a religion based on aliens. ●Islam and Judaism accepts restricted cloning not full human. ●Catholicism and Christianity is completely against cloning since they believe it tries to play the role of God.
