ETHICS OF HUMAN CLONING

++++Cloning is not a new concept.

++++It has been around for quite some time.

++++The word "clone," derived from the Greek clone refers to asexual

reproduction, also known as vegetative reproduction. Cloned

molecules, cells, plants, and animals are all genetically identical

copies produced without any intervention from the sexual process.


++++ The President of America noted that "any discovery that touches upon human creation is not simply a matter of scientific inquiry, it is a matter of morality and spirituality as well.


++++ In 1979, not even a cloned white mouse existed, but many scientists knew that most, if not all, of the procedures for mammalian cloning were at hand. Cloning became entrenched in popular culture in the 1980s.


++++ Between 1996 and 1997, a law was passed that US Federal funds were not to be used for research on human embryos if they will be harmed or destroyed.
