Con Cloning
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to have a clone of yourself? It would definitely be bizarre watching yourself grow up all over again. In order to obtain that copy of yourself, human reproductive cloning would have to take place. Human reproductive cloning is the process of taking genetic material from a person, and using it to make an embryo, in the hopes that it will develop properly, and in the

Cloning
Cloning. It looks as if the variant of manipulating nature based on the idea of multiplying human beings is coming within the reach of modern science quickly. Today's scientists have already been able to clone a sheep. The living result is Dolly: a normal ewe, alive and kicking, she's just an exact copy of her celldonor. When more of less the same technique would be used on humans, that would mean the solution of many

The Moral Implications of Cloning
Outside the lab where the cloning had actually taken place, most of us thought it could never happen. Oh we would say that perhaps at some point in the distant future, cloning might become feasible through the use of sophisticated biotechnologies far beyond those available to us now. But what we really believed, deep in our hearts, was that this one biological feat we could never master. Dr. Lee M. Silver, 1997. On February 23,
