goats, cows, and cattle. Cloning won't be able to solve the problem of extinction, but it can definitely be used to speak out about the problem. 40% of the world’s species are at risk to be extinct. 2000s, using the same technique that produced Dolly, researchers have cloned several endangered and even extinct mammals. mouflon sheep, deer, bison, and coyotes have been cloned. As cloning is now a…

Cloning has been around for longer than you may think. Many believe that cloning is a futuristic process, but the history of cloning dates back to more than a hundred years ago. The first ever attempt to clone was made by Hans Adolf Eduard Driesch in 1885, when he attempted to duplicate a sea urchin. As hard as it is to believe, many different animals have already been cloned, including frogs, mice, sheep and cows. Plants are frequently cloned, and you can even clone a plant at your house by…

children. There is also the advantage of saving an endangered species. We would also have the possibilities of replacing damaged and vital organs with cloned ones. Now we address the unethical side of this procedure. There is the testing to clone Dolly there was 277 attempts this suggest how many failed attempts will there be to clone a human. Some of the mammals that were cloned had health problems and even reduced their life span. Plus, it is against the will of nature, the clone has no say…

Dystopian texts often present an exaggerated vision of the world that is vastly different to reality, mostly as the consequence of certain human responses and actions in the past or current society, thus adding to the shocking aspects of the text. Literature of the dystopia genre also challenge preconceptions about the world and the human identity, thus provoking further contemplation about what it means to be human. Kazuo Ishiguro's dystopian novel Never Let Me Go (2005) demonstrates that…

playing god; Dolly the sheep aka genetic engineering. Dolly was the first successful mammal cloned, yes cloned, from an adult somatic cell using the process of nuclear transfer. (D,I, cc I) Nuclear transfer is when you replace the DNA in a oocyte and inject the nucleus with the DNA to be cloned. When the news of Dolly the cloned sheep got out to the public it struck immediate controversy whether scientists have the right to genetically engineer DNA like that. It didn't benefit dolly either, she…

The author provides the reason why scientists think that the woolly mammoth should be cloned because some scientists think that cloning a mammoth is either a good/bad idea. They found a full-body example of a mammoth "embedded in ice on a remote island" in 2013 (Grant). Some scientists think that because the ice kept the body and blood so well preserved, the might be able to clone the animal. The author provides these reasons to tell his/her audience that some scientists think that having a…

Will the clone have the same soul as the original? What is to stop rich people from cloning themselves? Do we even want rooms full of human clones, silently growing spare parts for the person whom they had been copied? These are the arguments presented by intellectuals when Ian Wilmut and his colleagues announced that they had successfully cloned an adult sheep in 1997. One critic said it would be the worst thing in human history. “All of these arguments had their intended effect; today, a large…

Have you heard of something called ‘cloning?’ If so, you probably thought it couldn't actually be done, right? Well, you'd be highly incorrect. Cloning is in fact real and working, though pretty inefficient. Today, I’ll be showing you why cloning is unnecessary and unneeded. So first of all, what is cloning? The very term cloning means to produce another species from the same entity. There are lots of different types of cloning, all of which are dangerous and unneeded. Animals are cloned…

against it. Cloning is the new rave of the world. Cloning is a great idea, however it has not been successfully performed on humans. According to "Business Insider", cloning has been successfully done, however, the test subject was not a human. Dolly, a sheep used to experiment cloning a new mammal from an adult cell was the first successful clone. "Why are there no human clones? Because of scientific, ethical, and commercial reasons.", says the Insider. Humans…
