Human Cloning

Period 8
 Basic Principles of Genetics
~Traits are controlled by dominant and
recessive alleles. It is the relationship
between two homozygous domination
parents.
~Yes, if two Yy parents have kids, there is
a 50% chance there will be Yy 25% YY
and 25% yy
~inheritance describes the wealth that
parents leave, or pass on, to their children

Ethical Legal and Social
When it started and why

Cloning has been around for as long as humans have been alive.
When fertilized egg split to create two or more of the identical embryos
and then a clone is created. Humans first cloned a sheep in 1996 it lived
from 11 to 12 of age. The technology that exists today make it a
possible, so it is likely that some laboratories have made serious
attempts or will at some time soon. Perhaps the most urgent ethical,
legal and social issues about cloning arise in the context and process
that may lead to the birth of a first human clone. This is so because, as
has been pointed out by scholars and politicians, early human
experiments are likely to result in a number of clinical failures and lead
to miscarriage, the necessity of dozens or even hundreds of abortions,
or births of massively deformed offspring.
Argument 1 – Issues

The dangers for early prospective clones are controversial and

difficult to manage because
~in part, one is attempting to protect a future potential person
against harms that might be inflicted by their very existence,
and in part because societies around the world have indicated
that they believe that the early cloning experiments will breach
a natural barrier that is moral in character, taking humans into a
realm of self-engineering that vastly exceeds any prior
experiments with new reproductive technology.

Argument 2- issues

Cloning arise in the context and process that may lead

to the birth of a first human clone. This is so because,
as has been pointed to lead clinical failures and
miscarriage, the necessity of dozens or even hundreds
of abortions, or births of massively deformed offspring.

Argument 3- issues

How a clone is to be defined, or rather

how difficult is the task of finding a way
of understanding human cloning in terms
from traditional language and
contemporary institutions of science and
parenting, has proven to be a most
formidable challenge.

Argument 4-issues
Reproductive cloning is expensive and highly inefficient. More than 90% of cloning
attempts fail to produce viable offspring. More than 100 nuclear transfer
procedures could be required to produce one viable clone. In addition to low
success rates. Japanese studies have shown that cloned mice live in poor health
and die early. About a third of the cloned calves born alive have died young, and
many of them were abnormally large. Many cloned animals have not lived long
enough to generate good data about how clones age. In 2002, researchers at the
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
reported that the genomes of cloned mice are compromised.
Concussion~

Cloning offers remarkable insight into the

power of creation that humanity has taken into its
fold. Humans are moving ever closer to a posture
of making babies, rather than having babies. I
don’t think that cloning in a good thing because
the child might have a bad disorders and then it
will be harder to take care or the child. So their
for I think the government should not function or
give money to this project.
