Many people (including myself before the research), have the wrong idea .
When the subject is brought up, the misconception of .
duplicating humans to their exact present condition is often the definition of .
choice. Such definition (as shown mostly in movies) is partially true, to clone a .
person is to make an exact duplicate but at the birth stage of the subject. .
Example, just because the subject is twenty years old, it does not mean that his .
clone will be twenty as well but instead he will be genetically equal but only a .
baby. Or as better defined in the dictionary: * A procedure for producing multiple .
copies of genetically identical organisms or of individual genes. Organisms may be .
cloned by transplanting blastocysts from one embryo into an empty zona pellucida, or .
nuclei from the cells of one individual into enucleated oocytes. Genes may be cloned by .
isolating them from the genome of one organism and incorporating them into the genome .
of an asexually reproducing organism, such as a bacterium or a yeast.
.
Human cloning is currently a very controversial topic because of the effect .
it may have in society. There are still many questions to consider, concerning the.
ethical, economical and scientific impact it could have on society in this era.
According to Lewis Thomas on his essay **-On Cloning a Human Being- "it .
is now theoretically possible to recreate an identical creature from any animal or .
plant, from the DNA contained in the nucleus of any somatic cell". -Definition of .
cloning-.
.
L. Thomas has an interesting, logical yet humorous way of explaining .
such complex topic. -On Cloning a Human Being- covers some of the possible .
negative aspects of the subject. One of the biggest fears could be that one's clone, .
would grow up a criminal creating trouble for his/her genetic parent. Another .
problem may come up when trying to select those who deserve to be cloned, and .
the time it would take.
