In fact, cloning consist of taking for example the nucleus of an adult cell (containing of course 46 chromosomes) and put it into an egg of another person (the nucleus of this latest person's egg has to be removed). As a result, instead of twenty-three chromosomes prior to the fertilization process, the egg would contain forty-six of the other adult cell donor. The division of the egg produces an embryo, whose cells correspond exactly with those of the donor. ... An egg cannot combine with another egg, and a spermatozoid cannot mix with another spermatozoid. ... As stated earlier, the ...

Cloning creates the possibility of having a twin or child carrying the exact DNA of another person. ... Cell-based therapy with the fusion of a single nucleus to an egg can treat certain diseases (Andrews, 87). ... When the transfer is made from molecules to cells, the complexity jumps exponentially because molecules can transfer into cells thousands of different ways. ... It would also provide a way safe way for homosexual couples to have children of their own containing each partners DNA. ...

Pro-life advocates define human life as beginning at the moment of conception, while pro-choice supporters claim that once the egg and sperm are united this is just a living organism and not a human life. ... Once the sperm and egg unite, the 23 chromosomes of each are brought together to form one cell with 46 chromosomes. Once this cell with 46 chromosomes is formed, that one cell has all of the DNA, the entire genetic code that makes up a human being. Everything which constitutes a human being is in that one cell from conception on it just takes time to grow and develop. ... Science says tha...

In the basic definition, cloning is accomplished by removing the nucleus of a mature, unfertilized egg and replacing it with a specialized cell from an adult organism. ... Asexual reproduction can use any cloning method to produce children of the couple's own cells or even the cell replicates of another human being. ... Our DNA belongs only to us." ... With this gene type therapy, cells and embryos can be altered to prevent all sorts of life threatening diseases such as Huntington's disease, Cown's syndrome, and other genetic defects or flaws (Pence: Who's 105-6). ....
