What is the main reason for cloning?
The main reason to clone plants or animals is to mass produce organisms with desired qualities, such as a prize-winning orchid or a genetically engineered animal -- for instance, sheep have been engineered to produce human insulin.
What are the scientific benefits of cloning?
Therapeutic cloning could allow an individual's own cells to be used to treat or cure that person's disease, without risk of introducing foreign cells that may be rejected. Thus, cloning is vital to realizing the potential of stem cell research and moving it from the lab into the doctor's office.
Why do scientists clone genes?
Scientists also make clones in the lab. They often clone genes in order to study and better understand them. To clone a gene, researchers take DNA from a living creature and insert it into a carrier like bacteria or yeast.
Why do scientists clone extinct animals?
Cloning is a commonly suggested method for the potential restoration of an extinct species. It can be done by extracting the nucleus from a preserved cell from the extinct species and swapping it into an egg, without a nucleus, of that species' nearest living relative. ... Cloning has been used in science since the 1950s.
How is cloning beneficial to society?
Clones are superior breeding animals used to produce healthier offspring. Animal cloning offers great benefits to consumers, farmers, and endangered species: Cloning allows farmers and ranchers to accelerate the reproduction of their most productive livestock in order to better produce safe and healthy food.
What do you think is the reason why ethical issues arises more on animal cloning?
There are four areas of concern with regard to the pain and suffering animals experience due to animal cloning: the suffering animals undergo during cloning procedures; the obstetri- cal complications that occur in the surrogate animal; the health of cloned ani- mals; and the suffering animals will be forced to endure ...
Why should human cloning be legalized debate?
The possibility of human cloning engages not only religious, social, cultural, and moral challenges but also legal and ethical issues. The debate on human cloning also raises questions of human and fundamental rights, particularly liberty of procreation, freedom of thought and scientific inquiry, and right to health.
Who was the first person cloned?
On Dec. 27, 2002, Brigitte Boisselier held a press conference in Florida, announcing the birth of the first human clone, called Eve.
How do scientists clone?
In reproductive cloning, researchers remove a mature somatic cell, such as a skin cell, from an animal that they wish to copy. They then transfer the DNA of the donor animal's somatic cell into an egg cell, or oocyte, that has had its own DNA-containing nucleus removed. ... This young animal is referred to as a clone.
How would you feel if scientists were cloned?
Answer: If a scientist has cloned with out my consent or permission. I will feel offended and may sue him for this. But if I have given consent to him for making a clone I will feel very excited and anxious to see how it has has turned out to be.
Are scientists trying to bring back extinct animals?
But the very idea of de-extinction is somewhat misleading: Scientists say it's not possible to really bring back an extinct species. Instead, scientists are planning to genetically modify an elephant to create a new synthetic organism resembling a woolly mammoth.
Should scientists clone endangered animals?
It is indeed possible to clone animals and to specifically clone endangered animals. You are right, though, that some of these cloned animals have defects. But we don't know if these are genetic defects. ... Also, once a single animal is cloned, in order for it to be useful in conservation biology it needs to reproduce.
Why can't we clone extinct animals?
To successfully clone an extinct animal, scientists need to find animal DNA that is almost entirely intact. Some species have substantial potential as candidates because of the availability of what is called ancient DNA, or genetic material from fossils or artifacts.
