Is cloning ethical? the majority of the world would say no but the medical research possibilities associated with it are endless. In 1997 when Dolly the lamb was born we began to think, wow if it's possible to clone an animal, why not a human in the future? It soon became known that it was possible and people were horrified at the thought of an organism being created by a human being.
90% of Americans polled within the first week that the Dolly news broke, thought
that cloning should be banned. They believed it to be morally inappropriate and ethically Wrong (Torr 24). The reason for the terror was due largely in part by public misconception by lay people. It is best to think of a clone as a later born identical twin. They will be indistinguishable in biology from any other human being. Many people believe that clones will be used as spare parts for the rich in need of a liver or some other organ. There are also beliefs that these clones will be headless as well as be killed without committing murder. In reality using another human for spare parts would be murder and making headless clones would also be murder. To make a headless clone would require removing the higher brain of the fetus of infant and since both of
stopped dividing in the cell cycle. Then a tiny pulse of electricity was used to fuse the two nuclei. in the cytoplasm. This fused cell was transferred into the reproductive chamber of a blackface ewe. The proceess had to be repeated 276 time before they could get one that would actually work.The process would require removing a somatic cell as opposed to a reproductive cell. the nucleus would be romved from the cell and trasferred to an enucleated egg. Currently this isn't possible because the somatic cells are specialized cells and we don't know how to turn genes "on" and "off" (Bohle 35). Human cloning research would enable scientists to determine the cause of spontaneus abortions and give oncologist an understanding of the rapid cell growth of cancer.Cloning could lead to the development in genetics to create animal organs that could be easily accepted by humans offering a limitless supply to those in need. Pigs are being tested as the most likely source for this experiment. using human cloning cells could be cloned and regenerated to replace damaged sections of the body. Stem cells could also be grown to regenerate damaged nerve tissues or muscle issues. This process could help out muscular diseases lik
