Cloning is the process of creating similar genetically identical cell, tissue or individual organisms such as insects, plants or bacteria in a lab that would otherwise naturally occur in nature. Cloning is a science that has been around since before Dolly the sheep was created in a lab in the 1997, a sea urchin was cloned in 1894, it ties into many different aspects in life and is soon to be a very common thing in society. Since, and even before, Dolly the sheep scientists have been able to clone genes, cells, food, and other organisms.
Three types of cloning include, gene cloning, a process that creates copies of genes or segments of DNA, reproductive cloning, creating copies of whole animals/organisms. The third type of cloning …show more content…
When an older sibling is ill or facing death, parents may conceive said savior sibling in order to provide bodily fluid, umbilical cord blood, or non-vital organs in order to save the eldest. Cloning would ensure that the unborn child would have the match for the existing child because they would be genetically identical. It is the least time consuming solution (others consisting of implanting into the womb only the ones that are a match and discarding the others, or making an embryo naturally and terminating it if it isn’t a match) (Robertson, …show more content…
The more scientists learn about one thing the more they can discovers about another, as all science is tied together making the earth work. The only problem here would be the rate of success, as stated before, many embryos are killed just to get one clone. 0.1 percent to 3 percent success rate is very low, on average that is 980 failures out of 1000. Now the 20 successful clones may teach scientist enough to perfect the process for later trials, but there will always be errors (SEPA,
