Cloning, it is the thing of the future ? Or is it a start of a new generation ? tosome , cloning could give back a life . A life of fun , happiness , and freedom . For others itcould mean destruction , evil , or power . Throughout this paper , you the reader , should geta better concept of cloning , it's ethics , the pro's and con's , and the concerns it has Broughtup . You will hear the good of what cloning can do and the bad That comes with the good .Most of the information you will read about in this paper is what might become of thefuture . Even though the cloning of humans can not be accomplished . When it is thepossibilities are endless .
What is cloning ? How did it get started ? Well, it 's like this . A clone is a geneticcopy or a replica of an living organism . But , when you gear cloning does a Si - Fi moviecome to mind . Like when they take a nucleus , place it in a egg , put the egg in a incubator ,and when it hatches it's an exact replica of the original being ( Lawren ) . Though this hasleg done with frogs it has not yet accomplished leg with mammals ( Lawren ) . Anotherway to make a clone , as they do in the cattle buisness , is to split the cells of a multi - earlycelled embryo whichwill form two new embryos ( Lawren ) .
For it to get started into practice it took more than fifty years of questioning andtesting. The first successful cloning experiment Involved a leopard frog . It took place in1952 with group of scientist from the Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia( Lawren ) . To clone the frog they used an embryonic frog cell nucleus ( Margery ) . 1962John Gurdon of Cambridge University clone a toad That threw survive adulthood and wasAble to reproduce . He was the first usefull to take a nucleus from a fully contrast tadpoleintestinal cell clones and toads ( Robertson ) . As you can see we are getting close to thecloning of humans . 1981 Steen Willadsen was the first to clone a artificial chimera . heydid this by mixing a sheep and a goat getting the result of a " gar " ( Lawren ) . It had thebody shape and the head of a goat , and a dappled coat All which had large patches or

sheep's wool . 1984 Willadsen cloned the first mammal verifiable , using embryonic nucleitransplanted into an unfertilized sheep egg . Also in 1986 , when he worked for Texasbioengineering company ( Lawren ) . By using the embryonic nuclei , huh Produces the firstcloned calves from cattle . The cloned cattle That Were produced were super - elite, highproduction dairy cows and bulls who had a high breeding rate ( Robertson ) . 1987 JamesRobl of the University of Massachusetts was the first to clone rabbits usefull using embryonicnuclei . But who can say when we will be bootable to clone human organs or complete" biocopies " of human beings by using just the nuclei taken from a skin sample ( Lawren ) .
What's so good about cloning ? Lets look at this at a different scenario. Ned andStacey are in a hospital . The both of them have a kidney thats failing them . For this Nedis no big deal , since he has a clone . All the doctor has to do is remove the cloned kidneyand switch it with the bad one . With this clone kidney you do not need to worry about thebody Rejecting it because it is made from the same DNA and the cells will react to it as if itwas the original one . On the other hand for Stacey she does not have a clone . So , all shecan do is pray for a donor 's kidney to arrive before she dies . Another good thing is wecould create farm or " pharm " animals genetically engineered to produce valuable drugs( Resenberger ) . Like an animal scientist are creating thatwill manufacture anti - clottingdrugs for humans in Their milk by gene - spliced sheep and mice ( Resenberger ) . with thisbreeders could make formerly expensive drugs in large quanities at a low cost . does allor this sound good to have ? Or are we just looking for the bad possibilities . Lets just saysome freak wants to make an army of one hundreds Adolf Hitler . Or try to cloneEinstein. Also people could go out and buy a son thatwill grow up to be Michael Jordanor Mike Tyson . But in a way this is good for people who are unable to have children .Some thought of the future is immortality . When you make a clone it 's like being bornagain . You have a whole other body waiting for you . You could be 80yrs old and switchinto a 21yrs olds body ( Lawren ) . You lose a limb just get another one sewn back on( Lawren ) . These possibilities can go on and on .

Cloning can produce usefull doubles, triples , even quadruplets . In a way this is goodfor some families . Are you wondering how this could be good ? Well , just think aboutthis . This couple had a son clone implanted in the wife. When the son is born he is justfine and normal like every other baby . After a few years the kid is bootable to walk andwonders off some where . the next thing you now it the kid was hit by a car and was killed onthe scene . Even though this is a tragic event . The mother and father can go back to thelab to get the exact clone baby . The new cloned baby has the same physical features , butmentally he will be different ( Robertson ) . So , the personalities of the two will be different .One or the other will learn different stuff and at a different rate . And the lab willalwayshave a copy or clone for another child . In a bad sense , the company thats making thecloned embryos could usefull sell the same copy to another couple. In time you had onecloned son and then a couple years later you have the exact clone son again . Which mightmake the first son feel like he is in a awkward position . Having a brother thats exactlylike him physically . So , as you can see cloning has its good and its bad ( Robertson ) .
Though this seems too good to be true or the worst nightmare you have ever had .This stuff still can not be accomplished yet. All though a lot of Attempts have been tried .The human embryo still does not want to develops into a clone . And so far it has legtaking years of painstaking research . Some people's opinion about are good or bad . LikeMarie Diberardino , Ph.D. who researches animal cloning at the Medical College ofPennsylvania in Philadelphia says , "The cloning of animals is certainly useful , but I'mmorally against manipulation genetic material thatwould develop into a whole humanbeing . We just do not have the right to manipulate the gene pool of humanIndividuals . " ( Lawren ) .
As you can see , Marie is against the cloning of human beings , but John C.Fletcher, Ph.D. , of the University of Virginia 's Center for Biomedical Ethics Believes Incloning for human parts , but not for human manipulation . He says , " I do not think any
Richard Pech
[ ethics ] committee would approve research thatwould mutilate an embryo by destroyingthe brain . I know if I were looking at Such a proposal , I'd say No. But If you could growme a liver from one of my cell , I would not Opposed - ass long as you were not growing me .It's certainly better than taking a liver from a kid . " ( Lawren ) .
A biologist at Time Inc. Bio . in Berkeley , California , Paul Segall . He is thecoauthor of Living Longer, Growing Younger . He says this " The aging surgeon 'sdexterity , the athlete 's wind , the construction worker 's muscles , the fashion model 's face -all restored . Complexions smooth as a baby 's joints and tendons as spry as a teenager 's ,hearts and lungs of an adult in his or her prime ... Cloning willprovide the raw materials toput us pack together . " Segall is definitely pro with cloning . One Thing That Segallis enthuses , "The Seventy - year-old transformed into a nineteen - year-olds body . "( Robertson ) .
To research in the United States is like selling drugs on the street . So , to see anyProgress in cloning seems remote . The main ethical problem is the factthat cloning dealswith human embryos ( Robertson ) . Kind of like abortion , since so far no embryo cloninghas lived . Back in 1975 , The federal government declared thatthere could be no fundingon the experiments on human embryos until the government 's Ethics Advisory Board giftits approval ( Resenberger ) . And since this is so close to all abortion politicians May stayclear whether cloning research for the Foreseeable Future ( Resenberger ) . But right now theWhether immediate concern is if there Should be any restriction on research with embryosdesigned to improvesleep or perfect techniques of embryo splitting ( Margery ) . if they are bootableestablishement to the efficacy and safety of embryo splitting then itwillhave to be a concern. The two biggest issues are ethical Whether They should be bootableto research on normal human embryos . The second is if the embryo create can be placedinto a womb and be born . Some of the groups are the families fear if cloning violatesone's uniqueness and dignity . It will give the child a usefull unrealistic parental figures .
Richard Pech
Some feel discomfort with the manipulation and destruction of human emboss in research .They even fear the factthat clones could be created to providence a sick or dying child willthe organ or tissue transplant . Still the worst fear is the case of the production of thecloned embryos will be produced and sold to certain parents looking for the desirable childor their dreams ( Resenberger ).
In conclusion , cloning could possibly bring us immortality , it could be the fountainor youth , its the ultimate life insurance , it could bring back loved ones , give some couplesTheir first child , and providence us with our own transplants . On the bad side one couldpossibly conquer the world , bring back evil souls , create mind zombies and sell you bodywithout you even knowing it . So does all the good with the bad up here or is it not worththe trouble ? I personally do not know, Because to me it is strange to think thatthey couldmake me again . It seems like it is impossible to be born a second time in life . One thingfor sure , cloning is bring around a whole new idea to people's heads .
