Human cloning, the creation of a genetically identical copy or clone of a human. Cloning is nothing new to researchers, for the idea of cloning has been around since the 1880s. The very first cloning experiment was in 1885 on artificial embryo twinning with sea urchin. Although most people don't know is that there is so much more to cloning than creating a living being identical to the original. This paper will discuss about human cloning, the biological concepts and processes, biological, social, ethical, economic or environmental implications, and our opinions on human cloning.
The cloning era began when Dolly the sheep was manufactured in 1996. Dolly was cloned by somatic cell nuclear transfer. If the successful cloning of human beings, is momentous: Even if the technique is used only in pursuit of biological …show more content…
Some of the cons of human cloning are; (1) risk faster aging, (2) interferes with nature, (3) bring forth a reduced sense of individuality, (4) cause divide among people, (5) might decrease the overall value of human life, (6) against religious ethics, (7) might be used for exploitation, (8) a lot of failure, (9) completely wrong idea for a lot of people. An international group of scientists announced in the June 6 Cell—a prominent, peer-reviewed scientific journal—that they created scores of cloned human embryos, developing four of them in a dish for about 10 days to the blastocyst stage (about 150-200 cells). This is the stage at which embryos created in vitro are usually implanted if they are to be gestated to birth. (Smith,
