I believe that cloning animals from embryo cells is not ethical; it’s bad for the cloned animal’s health. Even though it’s seems to be a cool idea and very interesting, it’s not doing any good for them. The only good thing that could ever come out of cloning animals is if they are going extinct, but even then they are not going to last long due to them getting health problems.
What exactly is cloning? Well cloning is genetically identical copies of a biological entity. The copied material or the clone has the same genetic makeup as the original. Researchers have cloned a very wide range of biological materials, including genes, cells, tissues and even entire organisms (Cloning, 2014). In 1979, Karl Immense claimed to have cloned three …show more content…
This method is more difficult to do then reproductive and therapeutic cloning. But gene cloning is the most used technique in today’s time. They have to isolate the DNA from the cell. Then they purified and fragmented with a restricted enzyme. That enzyme uses the cloning to produce staggered cuts in specific sequences in the DNA. Then the DNA fragments are incorporated into single restriction plasmids. This generates the same cohesive ends that are in the fragments of the DNA to be cloned. Then the two pieces line up to from a phosphodiester bond. Now the cells all contain different segments of DNA from the original organism. Now these are all called DNA library. Now they pick the cell that has the right DNA they are looking for and isolate it. (Steps in Cloning a …show more content…
Some complications that could happen are destroying the embryo when being extracted. Then their people’s moral belief that’s an embryo is a child from day one of conception. Many don’t think that is true and that’s why they still do this procedure. Some people have learned to look past this because they know it can save lives potentially. I would say that if we would ever use cloning this would be the only beneficial cloning for humans because it could save some one’s life even if there are some complications. But at this point no humans have actually been cloned through this process (Murnaghan,
