Cloning

Cloning Cloning has been a very controversial issue in the United States over the past few years. There are two different sides, either one is for the process of cloning or they’re not. It’s that simple. Strictly speaking, a clone refers to one or more offspring derived from a single ancestor, whose genetic composition is identical to that of the ancestor. No sex is involved in the production of clones, and since sex is the normal means by which new genetic material is introduced during procreation, clones have no choice but to have the same genes as their single parent. The first successful clone was accomplished about two years ago, although not a human clone. “Dolly” was her name, and she was a sheep. This controversial issue has been studied and examined by many great people, including two men by the names of Laurence Tribe and Charles Krauthammer, whose essays will be examined in this paper. In “Second Thoughts on Cloning”, written by Laurence Tribe, a much stronger, opposing viewpoint is conveyed than that of Charles Krauthammer’s “Of Headless Mice…and Men”. Charles Krauthammer is a medical doctor and a licensed psychiatrist, but he is chiefly known as a writer.
