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…

Is Human Cloning Worth the Expense of Further Research? Introduction What is Human Cloning? Human cloning, refers to the process of creating a human being that is genetically identical to a pre-existing person through the use of their cells. (Science Daily, 2019), (Center for Genetics and Society, 2019). Despite many scientist claiming to have done…

As scientists try to understand the existence of DNA and genetics, they soon discover the concept of cloning in biotechnology. Cloning is a process that creates exact copies of DNA on different molecular levels. For example, there is molecular cloning where copies of DNA fragments are made. There is also cell cloning, as well as…

‘To what extent does animal cloning breach morality and under what conditions can it be justified?’ Does potential warrant use of unsatisfactory methods? The future of animal cloning, a process of generating a genetically identical copy of a cell or an organism, depends on the answer to this poignant question. Since its inception in 1996…

In the wake of fast scientific and technological advancements witnessed in the 21st Century, much has been debated concerning human cloning and the use of technology. Most of the discussions have centered on different religions that provide different views regarding cloning and the use of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Human cloning has raised different controversial…

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…

Introduction In the advanced world, consistently there has been a remarkable social tool for comprehending and assessing scientific, ethical, moral, and social consequences of new innovations. Cloning is one such new technology which is a major development in the field of Genetics, such as Human Genome Project for making identical copies of an organism. Cloning…

Over the last few years, the science of reproductive cloning has sparked ethical debates. Though most fears associated with reproductive cloning are valid and significant, there are certain misconceptions that have led to unnecessary fear and trepidation. The most significant arguments against reproductive cloning are that it is wrong to make a copy of someone…
