Cloning in Today's Technology Cloning can be a very sensitive subject. It seems that it is a battle between science and ethics. Does the ladder outweigh the form or vice versa? Maybe a few definitions will shed some light on the subject.

Parallel to today's arguments, many American scientists during the 1920s and 30s enthusiastically thought that they could and should apply genetic and population science to political issues. Ideally, population engineers lead by eugenicists would determine who should be cloned or allowed to procreate (Nazi eugenic 1994; Kluger et al. 1997). However, ...
