Wilmut And Dr Unicellular Organisms
1,428 wordsThe biological definition of a clone is an organism that has the same genetic information as another organism or organisms ("Cloning", 1997). From this definition and from information about the science behind cloning, my current view on cloning is that it is ethical. This statement ignores information about how we can misuse cloning and what consequences occur when the procedure is unsuccessful.

Wilmut And Dr Unicellular Organisms
2,092 wordsThe biological definition of a clone is an organism that has the same genetic information as another organism or organisms. Thus, an elaboration on the history, techniques, ethics, and reasons for researching the technology of cloning is necessary. A clone is an organism derived asexually from a single individual by cuttings, bulbs, tubers, fission, or parthenogenesis reproduction. Parthenogenesis reproduction is the development of an organism from an unfertilized ovum, seed or spore. Hence, clo...
