well it's against god will cowboy...

Hello Tina Most of us have heard about cloning and have some idea about what it might be. Cloning is seen in movies, books, on the TV and in newspapers, but what is it really? Cloning is basically making a genetic copy of something. This might be copying just one cell, or it could be a whole animal. There's a bit more to cloning things than this explanation suggests and you need to ask the real question here "Is it a necessity to clone ?" A guy called Herbert Webber, from the US Department of Agriculture, invented the word clon in the early 20th century to describe plants that are genetically the same as their parent. Pretty soon clon became clone, and slowly the word became part of the English language. The biggest star in the cloning world is a sheep named Dolly. Why she's called Dolly is an altogether different story. In 1996 Scottish scientists cloned Dolly from an adult sheep. This was the first time this had been done for a mammal. Dolly died in February 2003. Now that cloning has been shown to be possible with mammals, people are getting really interested in cloning a special mammal - humans. Not everyone agrees on whether cloning is ethically and scientifically right or wrong. Several governments around the world have made laws to stop public money being spent on human cloning research. We'll leave it to you to decide if you think it's good or bad. Meanwhile, it will be safe to legislate on this topic...

Hi Tina.When the concept of cloning emerged, the possibilities that could emerge from it floated in the minds of scientists all around the world. Could we really create an exact copy of any living thing by altering the DNA of the particular organism? To many people, the possibilities are endless but to others, it seems like one of the biggest mistakes that man may have stumbled on throughout our entire human existence. In an article in the The Sunday Times written by Steven Connor and Deborah Cadbury, the issue of human cloning is addressed in a positive way. “Scientists have created an embryo of a frog without a head, raising the prospect of engineering headless human clones which could be used to grow organs and tissues for transplant surgery.” This type of engineering could bring many answers to questions and problems concerning organ transplanting. I think that you have to make up your own mind if it is morally acceptable,

It's unethical and unacceptable. I also think the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages. It violates a person's individuality and uniqueness and leads to the loss of identity.

Vanity of unwise scientific knowledge has no limits. Do you think dna research will ever produce individuals who do not need to be educated and raised in a family? Having studied molecular cell biology I believe that dna manipulation is pure hybris. Many 'golden boy scientists' would have many other opinions and speculations; for me any further commenting on this topic is just a waste of words.
