Cloning

The biological definition of a clone is an organism that has the same genetic information as another organism or organisms. Thus, an elaboration on the history, techniques, ethics, and reasons for researching the technology of cloning is necessary. A clone is an organism derived asexually from a single individual by cuttings, bulbs, tubers, fission, or parthenogenesis reproduction. Parthenogenesis reproduction is the development of an organism from an unfertilized ovum, seed or spore. Hence, cloning, biologically …

…Cloning does not artificially produce copies of adult humans. Nuclear transfer is the artificial making of an embryo that will develop into an identical twin. No machine that can produce carbon-copy humans when performing nuclear transfer is involved. At this point, I believe we should not use cloning. I do not believe enough research has been taken on the consequences of cloning and until that point I don’t believe it is an acceptable risk.
