Animal Cloning

ANIMAL CLONING The advances to the biotechnology of animal cloning are very important to scientific technology and medicine today. Animal cloning is the production of one or more individual animals that are genetically identical to another individual animal. The most famous type is adult reproductive cloning, involving the duplicating of an existing animal. This process begins with removing cells of the first animal (the genetic mother) and extracting its nucleus and DNA. Then, the nucleus …

…one of the few hopes of finding cures to fatal diseases and saving lives. Although there are hazards and risks to animals, our group feels benefits outweigh the risks and hazards since there are guidelines scientists follow to ensure the safety and welfare of animals during the procedures of the cloning. Thus, this biotechnology should be continually pursued to advance in medicine and technology, leading to new breakthroughs of curing diseases and improving human health.
