Cloning.
... In 1997 the Roslin institute, Edinburgh, announced that it had succeeded in cloning a sheep from a cell taken from the mammary gland of an adult ewe. The nucleus of the cell had been fused with an unfertilized egg cell from which the nucleic DNA had been removed. The resulting offspring was named Dolly.. (after dolly parton, the country and western singer.
Is this a good idea? What does the future hold? Is this a step forward or is it dark science that should be left alone?.... :shrug: |
If I remember Dolly had arthritis which was a result of the cloning process, however cloning can go on in nature, everytime someone gives birth to identical twins.
My understanding is that the science is still a work inprogress, with the aim to grow tissue samples for medical applications, rather than produce cloned individuals. |
I think it could be good for growing body parts needed for transplants and such like but If they were to clone a human I think its wrong and I hope it would never happen, I dont really know why It just seems wrong and needs furthur thought

Cloning full people would be awful

Cloning is good but only when organs etc are cloned not full animals. I don't agree with full animals being cloned because it leads to health problems, and if a human was cloned then there would be a lot of grey areas, for example would a cloned person have any human rights? Would it be OK to clone a person with the intent of removing its organs, only for the clone to die? Is the clone actually a person? etc ...
