Question

Which are easier to clone, humans or animals? why? explain your answers?

Answer 1

Other animals.

There haven't been any reports of any primate cloning successes.  Before people clone people, people will clone monkeys.

Answer 2

Animals because cloning humans is illegal!

Answer 3

ETHICALLY and LEGALLY - animal cloning.

PRACTICALLY - it is a case-by-case basis:

Human cloning would be easy, because we understand more about human reproduction than that of other animals.

Some animals have irregular cycles of fertility (like the dog), which actually makes them problematic, as we cannot easily harvest and implant mature eggs.

Cloning amphibians and fish is much easier than that because they have external fertilisation and gestation - so we don't need a "surrogate womb" to gestate in.

Cloning birds and reptiles will be hard, because we'd have to introduce the nucleus into the egg before the shell formed around it, which is technically challenging.

Answer 4

Animals.  

Besides the legality, human ova are expensive and hard to get.  Additionally, human reproduction is inefficient.  Many embryos simple fail to develop or implant, meaning the success rate would be even lower than cloning another animal.

Answer 5

Animals for the reason that the brains cells are not as developed as humans

Answer 6

Human cloning will ultimately prove to be the easiest biological system to duplicate, clone.  For one reason, because of scientific research and progress made in the late 60s and early 70s on the subject of in vitro fertilization in humans, we know more about the timing, the cycles, and the s*x hormones involved in readying the fertilized (or cloned) egg for implantation and development.

There exists enough scientific data and people with the necessary experiece to successfully clone a human being today, using a minimum of cloned eggs and embryos. This technology is banned for no good logical, moral, or ethical reason other than a certain segment of our society is frighten of just what human cloning would do to this repressive social and political institutions.

The government and the church says that no humans have been cloned. If so, then we really don't have any emperical data to say anything at all with certainty about the nature of a true human clone. We should be cloning human beings, if for no other reason then to test our hypothesis as to whether or not cloning is ethical, based upon rational logic.

When we finally do get around to cloning humans, humanity is going to be pleasantly surprised, in my opinion.

Answer 7

The human body is the most complex structure and form of life... what do you think?  We're much more advanced than anything else, I think it would be extremely hard to clone a human being... but I'm sure they'll figure it out soon.  Ugh, sad day.
