Your Idea/Opinion On "Cloning"? Yes Or No?

Question

What you think is cloning? When/How will ou clone?

will you have limits? What you know about cloning?

Summarize cloning in a paragraph?

Thanks. Writing a argument, want to know what the world thinks first.

Answer 1

Okay, to clone Dolly the sheep, they took a sheep egg cell and removed the nucleus. Then, they took the DNA from a sheep that they wanted to clone and inserted it into the egg. Then, they sent electric shock waves through the egg cell to get it to undergo cell replication, and then they implanted it into the uterus of another sheep. This is how Dolly was made.

This is wrong. Clones age unnaturally fast (Dolly died of old age at 6 when most sheep live to be 12-15) due to the fact that the DNA is older when it is transfered into the egg cell, and as time goes on, the DNA keeps aging. The only way to stop the aging of the DNA is to add telomerase, but the problem is, telomerase causes cancer.

Long story short, because it causes for animals to age so unnaturally fast, it is unethical. It'd be even more unethical for people; imagine someone suffering from Alzheimer's, arthritis and needing 2 hip replacements before their 40th birthday!

Answer 2

"What you think is cloning?"

There are many forms of cloning all resulting in a different kind of end-product.

"When/How will ou clone?"

The technology to accomplish any one of the 3 or 4 different foms of cloning exist to day that can lead to a viable end-product.

"Will you have limits?"

If you are asking if there should be "limits" place on nuclei transfer (cloning) technology, the answer is NO!

"Summarize cloning in a paragraph?"

There are a number of different forms of DNA cloning; 1. Gene cloning (genetic engineering), 2. Therapeutic cloning, 3. Reproductive cloning, 4. Stem cell cloning, and 5. Regenerative cloning (organ system engineering). All of these cloning based technologies are major breakthroughs in science and all must be developed to their fullest in order that they can benefit all of humanity and open new doors to future human progress.

First, only in reference to reproductive cloning: do not let people offering disinformation about Dolly the cloned sheep influence your thinking on the subject. Dolly did not die of premature aging; nor was their anything physically wrong with her as a result of the cloning process. She was a healthy sheep who lived a normal life span for sheep and she produced normal offspring.

Answer 3

Cloning is a complex process of developing one individual from the cells(protoplasm) of our desired individual.......... this can be compared with a knife in the hands of a doctor and a murderer..........means can be used either ways for good and also bad........ its in our hands......... from the cells of bill gates we can produce another bill gates and also from the cells of osama bin laden we can produce another one
