What is cloning?What is cloning?
cloning ="trunk, branch“ (greek) creating genetically identical
individuals types of cloning:
- molecular cloning- organism cloning- human cloning

ChronologyChronology
before the 1990´s – various attempts of cloning organisms
1996 – Dolly since 1997 – until our days:
- many tries of cloning other animals, like dogs, mice, pigs, wolves, etc. with several successes
- reserches on cloning human cells

first mammal cloned from adult DNA 1996 – 2003

Potential benefits/risks of Potential benefits/risks of cloningcloning
Benefits to produce organs or tissues to
repair or replace the damaged ones (organ transplants)
infertile couples could be able to have children
reconstructive and cosmetic surgery cure genetic or other diseases

Risks highly inefficient and very expensive clones live short and unhealthy life unsafe process ( miscarriages and
deformities) lose the uniqueness of every human

Ethical issuesEthical issues those who argue in favour:
- curing diseases, organ transplants, avoiding genetic malformations
- longer life, hopes of eternal life- anyone could have children- scientific research for the
benefit of humanity
![Page 12: The Pros and Cons of Cloning](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56812d52550346895d9256d9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Those who argue against:- reduce the value of life - loss of individuality - confusing relationships- offensive to human dignity - would mark the cloned person
more as a replacement rather than a fellow human being

Legislative issuesLegislative issues
human cloning - the source of debates by many countries
the need for legislative policies is particularly great because:– many unknowns concerning human
cloning– the absence of any effective system
to license private research laboratories
![Page 15: The Pros and Cons of Cloning](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56812d52550346895d9256d9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
without a ban, clones are exposed to “potential abuse, prejudice and discrimination”
the government – protect the public health from catastrophic consequences
social control is necessary

ConclusionsConclusions
there are a lot of benefits of cloning, but we should not forget the risks
