Cloning

Cloning Environment, Technology, and Society Imagine this; “talking to yourself” could take on a whole new meaning if exact human cloning is made possible. Cloning could have many effects on society, and has become a huge issue over the previous years. People take a stand on different sides of the issue. Many of the arguments that are presented have many opinions backing them. Cloning can be used in various ways that may help or harm society as a whole. What Is Cloning There are three types of cloning that exist, reproductive cloning, DNA cloning, and therapeutic cloning. The American Heritage Dictionary has three different definitions for cloning. 1) A cell, group of cells, or organism that is descended from and genetically identical to a single common ancestor, such as a bacterial colony whose members arose from a single original cell. 2) An organism descended asexually from a single ancestor, such as a plant produced by layering or a polyp produced by budding. 3) A DNA sequence, such as a gene, that is transferred from one organism to another and replicated by genetic engineering techniques. The American Medical Association calls cloning cloning, human, people, cell, society, cells, one, help, cloned, think, research, very, should, process, organism, genetic, experiment, create, somatic, reproductive, new, life, issues, humans, harm, happen, embryo, dna, being, before, animals, able, years, whole, transfer
