Just a copy

Cloning is a very controversial subject, even though most people don't know enough about it to make an informed decision. First, I will define cloning, and tell you the process of cloning. Then, I will touch base on cloning animals cloning and the bad effects of it .Lastly, I will explain the some different religious view on cloning and what my personal opinion is on cloning. Although people think cloning is just a copy, cloning is actually more complexed than just a copy, but in my personal opinion I am against cloning.

The definition of cloning on google.com is “propagate (an organism or cell) as a clone” which is right. Making a clone typically isn’t reproducing another exact replica. The only thing that may be the same about the clone and the original is the DNA that the original obtains. The clone might look different and act different. For example, when two cats were cloned the clone of the original was different than the other. Different temperaments, Different Appearance Etc. But the only thing the same about them was that their DNA was the same. The process of cloning first takes place when the nucleus of the donor egg is then removed with the empty egg, the clone source DNA is injected into the donor’s egg. Next the egg rapidly divides, repeating this process over and over into a multicellular clump. Next cells start to become a group and eventually form a specific organ such as heart, liver, and kidney. Stem cells are harvested from the embryos of 100 cells or more and finally the embryos continue to grow in size and in complexity resulting in an identical replica in genes of the original.

Secondly, cloning as it does have good effects and outcomes also has bad effects and outcomes and the bad outweighs the good in t...

...ome test subjects. Cloning isn’t right for animals because they don’t have an opinion of their own nor can they state it. There is also a very low success rate of only 5% out of 100 that are successfully cloned. There is also a loss of government funds and money. Cloning may be good in some cases, but in this case I don’t agree with animal cloning. There are so many defects among cloning that may happen and may get passed through us by consuming a cloned animal. I wouldn’t want my food to have diseases or disorders.

All in all people think cloning isn’t just a copy of something, but yet there is so much more to it than just creating a duplicate. The process of cloning is a very long process: which goes from the nucleus, to the embryo, and then is grown then birthed. Cloning is so complexed and so new to scientists. There is so much more to learn about cloning.
