    Cloning is a cell, cell product, or organism that is genetically identical to the unit or individual it is derived from. During the process of cloning, a piece of DNA is cut from its source with a restriction enzyme. Then, the DNA is put into a vector ( a DNA molecule used to transport genetic material into another cell). The vector is introduced to a host cell by the process called transformation, then the host cell copies the vector DNA with the original DNA; creating copies of the inserted DNA. After the DNA is done copying, it is then removed from the host cell and purified cell.…

    Therapeutic cloning also has the potential to cure illnesses that as of now have no cure and take the lives of hundreds of thousands every year. Scientists are able to get stem cells without harming babies,…

    In a two part viewpoint, David A. Prentice and William Saunders discuss the science and ethics of Therapeutic cloning. In the first portion Prentice argues that creating clones for the sole purpose of embryonic stem cell research commonly known as " Therapeutic Cloning," is not very different from reproductive cloning. He also points out that therapeutic cloning is not very therapeutic for the embryo involved. In the second portion of the viewpoint, Saunders elaborates on Prentice's arguments and goes more in depth. Saunders goes as far as to point out that therapeutic cloning is barely any different than the horrific experiment practiced by the Nazis during the time of World War II.…

    I personally believe that cloning could be both a good and bad thing, and both sides make absolutely great points in their arguments. However, I believe that we should be able to have the choice whether or not we want to contribute to it or if we do not. Nevertheless, I think it depends on the reasoning you have for wanting and/or needing cloning done. I do believe that not all forms are ethically correct. I do agree with therapeutic cloning, as it could help people who may have cancer of a certain organ, that way they can clone the organ and just receive it instead of being put on a waiting list to find a potential match.…

    What is the process of therapeutic cloning? The process of therapeutic cloning is removing a nucleus from an abhorrent cell and moving the nucleus into an unfertilized egg, which develops an exact replica of the parent cell, this is then called a clone. The purpose of therapeutic cloning is to strengthen the cells within the body. With the process of therapeutic cloning this then allows the cells to cure diseases that have not been cured yet, this then would allow humanity in the future to be stronger by helping us have a more health advantage. Although, therapeutic cloning is very helpful some people are opposed to it due to the fact that it is unethical in some ways.…

    Therapeutic cloning involves using cloning processes to produce embryonic stem cells, tissues or whole organs for transplantation. The main ethical issues associated with therapeutic cloning are those relating to the creation and destruction of embryos, and whether refining the cloning technique will create a ‘slippery slope’ from therapeutic to reproductive cloning1. Reproductive cloning is the use of cloning to grow a living person who shares the DNA of the progenitor. Live animals have been cloned using fission (in the cattle industry) and SCNT (e.g. Dolly the sheep). There are currently no confirmed cases of deliberate cloning of a human embryo that was allowed to grow into a live baby.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Human Cloning

    Cloning is a sin in front of god because in the bible it says “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them “Genesis 1:27. God created people in his own image, and for babies to be created in mother’s womb, in the natural way not in a test tube. Anyone who follows God and believes in the bible should not say cloning is right especially just for organ donation, because nobody should take away the life of another person because only God can take away lives. Men did not create our life but God did so a man should not have any right to take anybody’s life because only the creator can take what he gave ys therefore killing clones for donation purpose is murdering and it should be a crime. If people keep on cloning to save their loved ones or in the memory of them, then the generation is not going anywhere because we are going to keep on cloning the people that were here.…

    A cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells. “The essential characteristics of [these] cells are their ability for self-renewal and the ability to form one or more specialised cell types over time” (Carvalho and Ramalho-Santos 596). In other words, they serve as an internal repair system. When a stem cell divides, each new cell can either remain a stem cell or any other type of cell with a normal yet more specialized and enhanced function.…

    In this era, there is still a bit of confusion on the word ¨cloning¨. To consider the exact cloning of another human being forces me to question the exact concept of right or wrong that makes us all humans. On the other, hand Therapeutic cloning can help create vital organs. Because of cloning, Science could advance to a point where millions of people will have access to lifesaving therapies developed using their own DNA.This would mean therapeutic cloning can be helpful for people, who are suffering from kidney failure or other disorder who are forced to wait years for a replacement organ. In my opinion I agree therapeutic cloning should be legalized in many states because for instance, It could treat genetic diseases, it would reduce the possibilities of an organ being rejected during transplantation. And also another big reason is it could be easily ethically accepted.…

    Although it poses a world of "what-if" possibilities for those that have trouble conceiving or those that seek treatment for genetic diseases that are deemed incurable, the practice of somatic cell nucleus transfer is not ethical. The reasons why consist of many it is morally unethical rely on numerous factors. First and most important fact in my eyes is the creation of life to just destroy that life for research. This therapeutic cloning is legal in some states, but requires the destruction of the embryo after the stem cell harvest. I do not believe anyone should have the power other than God Himself to take a life that does not belong to them.…

    In the case of human cloning, such failures would result in abortions, miscarriages, or births of malformed or diseased individuals. These results are considered unacceptable by all current ethical standards (DOC: Cloning). Therapeutic cloning is a genetic material extracted from an adult cell is placed in use inside of nuclei egg, to produce the cloning gene for cures for diseases. This is true, but therapeutic cloning also involves the destruction of an embryo to treat another person, and the destruction of one person to benefit another is immoral.…

    Tisya Shah I believe that Cloning violates the deepest principles of humanity and nature for many reason. Cloning has a low success rate, the clone won’t identical to the human or animal are the reasons why humans shouldn’t clone and clones can dies earlier than their normal life span. The articles“Cloning Overview” by by Courtney Farrell and “Counterpoint- Human Cloning Treats Human Life as a Commodity” by Sally Griswold talk about the cloning and why it’s good or bad. First, cloning as a low success rate. In the article “Cloning Overview” it talks about cloning not working all the time.…
