Cloning is a method of reproducing by which a new organism, genetically identical to the one intended to be cloned, can be obtained asexually. The first attempts to clone animals appeared in the 1930s. A new stage was defined by the experiments of Scottish scientists, culminating in the birth of the sheep Dolly (Small, 2018).…

Modern technology is known for its fast advancement and ample possibilities. However, in the sphere, if medicine, where progress is especially needed, technology cannot decide everything. The supply of human transplantable organs is much smaller than the demand. Therefore, alternative ways of decreasing this deficit are suggested. Cloning research is one of the most discussed…

Recently, there has been quite a lot of community displeasure in the field of animal cloning. Animal cloning for consumption is a very debatable topic in society at this point in time, whether the products are safe to consume, humane or inhumane towards the animals. The public has stated they are against animal cloning and…

I saw a new world coming rapidly. More scientific, efficient, yes. More cures for the old sicknesses. Very good. But a harsh, cruel, world.  (Never Let Me Go) Science. Genetics. Cloning. Human cloning. Human cloning will alter our world forever and will transform it for the worse. Science has developed throughout the years and…

Nowadays, Clone is a word that a new commonly used in many contexts all around the world, especially in the United States. Scientists have discovered a way to bring back extinct animals. Many people dream to extend life for their loved ones and being able to express the hidden feelings in their minds after their…

Our cloned future. Has the arrival of a new science era created ethical anxiety about cloning? What is Fear? Is it an emotion; thought or perhaps an illusion? This week’s New Scientist will explore the value of human life, or rather, a cloned human life by examining two different texts. Kazuo Ishiguros Never Let Me…

Reproductive human cloning has the potential to do good. Globally, there is a shortage of organs available for transplantations. This is partly because donor organs need to be an exact match so that the recipients body does not reject them. Therefore, human reproductive cloning could be a possible solution as it would produce two genetically…

Cloning is the process of producing genetically identical individuals of an organism either naturally or artificially. In nature, many organisms produce clones through asexual reproduction. Cloning in biotechnology refers to the process of creating clones of organisms or copies of cells or DNA fragments. Beyond biology, the term refers to the production of multiple copies…

It basically involves a method for developing a replica of tissue, organ or cell which are inherently similar to each other.it occur in nature- for instance, when some cell replicated itself asexually without chromosomal mutation and linkage. In prokaryotes, bacteria can produce a genetically alike copy of itself with help of binary fission. On other…

What is cloning? There are 3 main types of cloning (Genetics Generation, n.d), Reproductive, Gene and therapeutic cloning. Gene cloning is when a copy of DNA is inserted into a vector which is then able to be copied by the host, therapeutic cloning is when stem cells are cloned to treat disease and for research…
