| | frontline: making babies: human cloning |
 | | I don't see a clinical problem that is solved by cloning that we can't solve in other ways with assisted reproductive technology. | | | The industry's consistent position is if a doctor wants to do it and an informed infertile couple agrees to it, you should be able to do it. | | | So these are things are fairly easy to project, because we know the technology already exists, and the animal work has already been done that would tell us these things will indeed be successful. |

| | The move will attract “the best and the brightest” researchers to California, said Larry Goldstein, a professor at University of California San Diego, and halt the migration of stem cell researchers to other countries — like Singapore and Britain — where it is permitted. | | | The optimal combination of these technologies…will depend upon further research and the role…in society. | | | [In time, society will demand human cloning be made available, much as artificial insemination was finally allowed to the public in the late 1970s. |

| | NIMR :: Mill Hill Essays 1997 :: Cloning |
| | Cloning would have little future, and certainly be of little commercial value, without genetic engineering. | | | Like other things which are possible, not of great consequence to the physical well being of humanity, but generally considered undesirable on moral or social grounds,for example cannibalism, female circumcision and polygamy, the outlawing, qualified or not, of human cloning requires a simple pragmatic decision. | | | Nonetheless there is just a whiff of plausibility, a whisker of scientific credibility; enough to plant an indelible vision of what might be, or even what could be. |

| | What is Cloning? |
| | Cloning technologies have been around for much longer than Dolly, though. | | | There are a couple of ways to do this: artificial embryo twinning and somatic cell nuclear transfer. | | | As the name suggests, this technology mimics the natural process of creating identical twins. |

| | Cloning |
| | In their hearts, human beings know that it is not so terrible to have a genetic double. | | | Having an exact genetic match does create a special relationship, but it is not hideous nor monstrous, nor does it make us mindless robots or slaves to sameness. | | | On the contrary, they would be more different, because they would grow up in different environments (both gestational and childhood), at different ages, with different generational experiences. |

| | Cloning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A surprising development to do with aging resulted from finds that Dolly was apparently subject to accelerated aging. | | | The banteng cloning project was an exception, as the animal cloned was a distinct genetic lineage and the value of preserving this piece of genetic diversity of an already inbred species outweighed the uncertainties. | | | The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning; human clones in the form of identical twins are commonplace, with their cloning occurring during the natural process of reproduction. |

| | The Cloning Process |
| | Although this view is predominant among many scientists, some argue that a safe technology could be developed in the future. | | | As a result, scientists fear that applying this technique to humans might lead to malformations or diseases in the human clone (Cloning 13). | | | Scientists are also concerned about the medical risks and uncertainty associated with human cloning. |

| | Human Cloning: Religious and Ethical Debate |
| | Opponents and supporters agree that at the current time the technology is not safe enough to use on humans. | | | For instance, they argue that aside from helping infertile couples, cloning might result in spin-off technologies that could improve current reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization. | | | For instance, they would require a commitment to care for the "mistakes" that are likely to occur as scientists try to perfect cloning technology. |

| | While genetic intervention might fix this problem at some point in the future, I ask whether, absent technological advances, this biological phenomenon undermines the moral permissibility of cloning. | | | In search of a potential problem with cloning, I investigate the phenomenon of telomere shortening which is caused by cell replication; clones created from somatic cells will have shortened telomeres and therefore reach a state of senescence more rapidly. | | | Apr 01 (New Scientist) Small changes in a standard cloning technique led to an unprecedented success rate making genetically idenitical copies of a prizewinning stallion. |
