Starting off, there are three basic methods of cloning; separating the embryo and making twins with the same genetic make-up, taking a cell from a fertilized ovum when the cell begins too split then replace it in another female’s ovum, or nuclear transplantation. Some animals scientists have attempted to clone include sheep, goats, mice, and cows.

Dr. Ian Wilmut and his colleagues at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland cloned an adult ewe, whose offspring was named Dolly. They accomplished this through the second method of cloning. Dolly was “bor

On the other side of the debate, those who advocate the ban on cloning argue that cloning is immoral and against God’s will. Many people feel that human beings shouldn’t have the power to “play God” under any circumstances. Many are appalled with the notion that scientists are creating life through cloning. E.V. Kontorovich said in his National Review article, “Cloning would take the humanity out of human reproduction”. His estimates that cloning a human will ultimately lead to genetically designed children. Can someone say GATTICA? Leon R. Kass says in his article “For an International Ban”, that there are, “perversities”, of cloning, which include a troubled psychic identity for the child, turning procreation into manufacturing, and egotistically seeking to make others into one’s own image instead of accepting them as they are born. Also, some religious organizations claim that cloning does not respect the fact that humans have souls. In addition, if we were to use cloning more and more, it would reduce our genetic diversity and reduce gene pool. Everything would be the same, no one or thing would have its own personality or own appearance everything/one would lose its own unique appearance.

n” by taking genetic material from cells in the mammary glands of a six-year-old ewe, and placing them in an unfertilized ovum. Researchers eventually produced 29 embryos that survived longer than six days. Of these 29, all but Dolly died before birth.

Although scientists understand most of the cloning processes, how and why the DNA changes once inside the egg remains a mystery. Those who support cloning, argue that cloning can benefit humanity by contributing to medical and psychological studies, allowing infertile mothers to have biological ch
