Understanding Cloning: Process, Pros, and Cons

Cloning is the scientific method of creating copies of organisms using their own genetic material from somatic cells. The process involves extracting a somatic cell, removing its nucleus, and implanting it into a blank egg cell, which is then placed in a surrogate for development. While cloning has potential benefits like resurrecting extinct species and creating body parts, it also faces significant challenges, including high failure rates and health issues in clones. Perspectives on cloning vary; while controlled cloning is seen as beneficial, cloning of whole organisms raises ethical concerns.

  1. Cloning BY: Kane and Brandon

  2. What is Cloning ? • Cloning is the process of making copies of an organism using its own genetic material extracted from a somatic cell.

  3. How is it Done • First you must extract a somatic cell from the organism you wish to clone. • Second you must extract the nucleus of the somatic cell • Then you must implant the nucleus of the somatic cell into a blank egg cell. • Finally you implant the egg into the womb of a surrogate for the egg to develop.

  4. Cons Pros

  5. Pros • You can “resurrect” extinct organisms • You can remake body parts such as ears or hearts • You can make a CLONE ARMY!!! (Brandon)

  6. Cons • Cloning attempts are highly susceptible to failure • Most clones suffer from extreme physical defects/ health problems. • It is very cost ineffective

  7. Personal Beliefs (Kane) • Cloning is a good idea if it is controlled. In my opinion the cloning of stem cells is a good idea because you can then create new body parts that can save lives or give someone abilities they once had. I think the cloning of complete organisms is a bad idea because the potential for problems is too great.

  8. Personal Beliefs (Brandon) • If we learn to clone people it wont be good so I don’t think its a good idea. • So cloning is not a good thing to do
