Pros And Cons Of Genetic Cloning

Do you think a plant, animal, or even a human can be cloned? If so, would you be a support or oppose it? Genetic Cloning has many titles; from human cloning, Reproductive cloning, Therapeutic cloning or even Research cloning. They all mean the same thing, which is the process in which a gene of interest is located and copied out of DNA extracted from an organism. Genetic Cloning has been going on for years, ever since 1981. But, that was just plants and animals. Now today, the scientists and researchers are cloning humans. Although genetic cloning is judged, it is useful to some extent. Genetic cloning has lots of different controversies. Despite its views, evidence states that genetic cloning it is for cures for diseases/ other health problems, research or just for personal projects. Genetic Cloning also known as human cloning or Reproductive cloning can be for cures for disease and other health problems. Well for Therapeutic Cloning, also a type of genetic cloning, this takes a genetic material from an adult cell and is then placed inside an egg to grow beneficial stem cells, not to produce a baby. But to allow a patient’s own genetic material to be used to …show more content…
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.
