Human cloning is quite simple - a , but he destroyed the embryo before implantation. However huge risks of mutation with human cloning. See human cloning pictures below.



In human cloning the aim is for two cells to fuse to become one. The egg gains a full set of from the adult and thinks it has been fertilised. It begins to divide to become an identical twin (clone) of the adult. As with Dolly the sheep. However, the cloned baby could have that are as old as the older cloned twin.

I met a British scientist who was researching human cloning. He wanted toan embryo, implant it in the womb and cull it for spares for the older twin. Actually this is THE ONLY way that so-called therapeutic cloning could produce organs and organised tissues rather than just collections of cells in a lab - unless you take organs after birth.

The human cloning argument could go like this: child is dying, use cells and a human egg to clone child. Implant clone into mother in poor nation - pay her $10,000. Take baby from her at birth. Remove tissues needed after birth - say a kidney at the age of two - and offer cloned child for adoption. Child remains healthy on one kidney, older twin life is saved. Childless couple get a baby. Poor mother gets an income. But I don't want to live in a world like that. And as I say, human cloning poses .

I dont agree with cloning baboes, just to take it away from it's mother and use it for it's parts. The mother should know the consiquences if that baby dies from surgery. If the first child needs a kidney replacement and you take that kidney from the baby. The outcome will be the same for that baby, so now your just repeating cloning. Don't do this people, it is a dangerous and scary unhuman thing. Don't be fooled!
Would you want to be that cloned baby?
I am want to tell all of you that I am clone. Government produce small experiment to test in 1994. I am at age 35 but only 15 old. Rapidly cells grow within but I am just like normal. I try to make you understand. Many thankyou and surprise.
The thing I have ever wondered about when it comes to cloning is when say for instance a human is cloned. Is it cloned without a soul or does it share the soul of the host or does it have it's own soul? I know that this would be a question that science chould not answer but I just wonder what other peoples thoughts are on it.
cloning sounds most difficult in case of human beings as we cant
the identicalness if we clone 2 individuals cloned through same genetic material in 2 different countries as their phenotype characters will vary highly even their can be even variance within genotype as well due to exposure to different environmental variants .Even if we clone for instance an individual from my genetic material the timely environmental variants can play a greater role in having 100% clone of me...!
i think cloning is a bad idea and if you do it all hell will break lose.
well I quaken think that the congress should ban human cloning it only makes a double but we cannot be certain if the will be the exact same we are not certain that a police officers clone will be a police officer it is how we live and how we act that makes us unique and every one has their own opinions and how you live is the way the individual should be
Clone the hearts and the kidneys and basically limbs/organs, tailor made arm? Come on! No one needs a whole new body, sticks to the minorities :D
why do people want to be cloned?
I want to clone myself, raise me to the age of 20, by then we should have figured out how to implant my brain waves onto the clones and thereby live again.
Why not, nobdy hurt but me and I certainly wouldn't tell myself no.
i think today it is fine to clone animals...........yet humans are animals.......but i was thinking............maby when scientists have created more technoligy that we can clone hearts, kidneys and mabye even humans, to help people survive. But in this exact time.... i don't think its right....all the economy is going through.....more....and thats the least we need....so people who actully care to not drink milk from a clone or eat cloned mean.....GET A LIFE.....well unless this is your job....and i have one the only reason i am on this site is because i have to do a project on this that my teacher told me to do!
Hey I Totally Agree With You! And I Have To Do A Debate On Cloning! Grrr lol Its Really Dumb My Partner And I Have To Give 4 Speaches That Are 3 Mins Long! I'm Agenst The Whole Clonign Humans Idea....=]
It is unethical, morally wrong. Every individual is unique and special, by cloning we will be killing babies in embryo form, this is not human and civilisation. It will put a lot of mental, physical and social problems for the cloned being. This is not natural and reproduction should be a natural, process and not artificial.

i think itll be soooo totally cool if we had human cloning. if we can clone animals we better be able to clone humans. I wonder how the clone would act? or i wonder what it would do if he or she found out if it was a clone and not a real person?
The Clone Of He Or She Would Totally Freak Out If They Found Out That They Were A Clone! Dont You Think? Whats The Point In Having A Clone? They Start Off As Babies And Get Older. They Would Have Different Persinalities Bacause They Grew Up A Whole Different Way.
I think cloning is so wrong.
Its not natural living somone elses life.well,in their image.
And no1 will ever be friends with them if they now there is an actual 'real' version.
What u guys think?
i think cloning would be really cool becase it wiil be cool having a twin a round that looks just like you
hi, i am really hoping that cloning works and stuff cos i would really like a John Fullwood Army (JFA) of approximately 10,000 clones to take over the U S of A... can anyone help? xx
can dead people lerve again by cloning them? what will be the deffrence between a clone and a normal human
i believe they cant be clone
this is so cool it eterrst me so much
this is wrong leave all creatures and that alone
Love Lukee
yes this is bad i dont want people to do this and its cruel ..
from gazza
i think that it ia a good idea to clone so there can be desiner pepole and more fit girls
i think that cloning is stupid because they have a shorer life spand and i wouldnt want the world seperated into two e.g clones / humans nor would i want half the world looking alike...
Hey. i'm a 7th grader and wanted to clone a simple animal for science fair. Is it possible for me to do this? I know that you may think this is wierd but i would realy like to try.
Nope. Try again in 30 years time.
yes it's possible, if you believe and work hard at it.... go go go
Ya i think it could be possible but it cost alot of money!
My view on human cloning is that the appeal is primarily among two groups of people. The former are narcissists and the latter military scientists. A third possibly exists taking into consideration some members of the scientific community would consider cloning geniuses.
An expensive undertaking for all but a few wealthy narcissists a clone could merely be the earning for an eternal and new self raising interesting psychological dynamics as the clone matured among the inevitably jealously aging original. It is doubtful that another self centered personality would emerge from the prototypes negative nuturing.
Military applications seem unnecessary in China where with 16 billion people line up four abreast could walk across the Pacific Ocean to to heel to the USA. A Chinese person once told me China doesn't care if they loose 5 billion people, it would make life easier for those who are left. 10 billion people, she said, would be serious. The US military would be forced to bear the onus of enormous child care costs and then bank on a future war large enough to justify the costs of child care vs the remaining mililtary budget. The clones, if indoctrinated might supply a good army but on the other hand subversives always have a way of thwarting mlitary plans through delays in Congress, protests and other obstacles confronting the military mission to kill.
USA clones would more likely be a possibility to sprout up in Congress where the ideas are nearly cloned at the present time. Considering the enormous egos on our present Defense Intelligence Committee who believe the world should always see things their way, that is to preserve their financial interests in the Defense Industry and maintain a consistent upward growth rate for future generations control of their growing financial assets. Some would argue that given the nature of the average politicians ego the clone would most likely have supervised indoctrination throughout their pre political years. Additionally, most politicians continue to post photos of themselves taken years gone by, with clones Senator Rockefeller and a few others could have a child posing as The Honorable One Himself. However, a careful review our present generation of politicos with international name recognition rreveals they are legacies, and medicrity in academics is a halmark of their class. A clone is unnecessary. The Ivy League graduates , legacies of generations of family members who preceeded them to Harvard or Yale or Vassar or wherever are not bright. They are favored. Obviously, intellect is not necessary for leadership . Verily it is true many elected to high public office procreate illicitly which is more fun and easier than justifying expenses to their family auditor. Only a Defense Committee person could conceal a cloning expenditure , the Jones Act protects these Committee Men from financial disclosure. We need not fear their clones only the Men IN Black sworn to protect them. These Men In Black are generally from West Virginia or Tennessee and will never bite the man who feeds him, they believe in the Rapture and anything they are told because they cannot read. One drawback to a Defense Committee or Defense Intelligence Committee Member's potential to clone their skin cells is that a clone would confuse the lobbyists with whom these stalwart protectors of the faith and the Constitution jealously court for fundraising and hide and seek games with the IRS.
That's the real danger. Cloned IRS agents singularly tuned in to examining every tip earned by every waitress and tagging babysitting teenagers.
In conclusion, we have more to worry about than clones.
I think cloning Mensans would save our species and roll back global warming.
Thanks for this long post with many thoughts here.... I look forward to many more posts to reply to issues you raise.... over to the rest of you! Patrick Dixon
The first clone was President Carter, bought in Siberia. We had ever since clones in the white house. This site here is total dis-info
Trying very hard to mislead everyone, shame on you! They usual-
ly kill the original or keep them in dungeons. You can not tell the
original apart. They did it with holographic memory transfer. If you
do not believe me, google it yourself. I am sure they already un-
dermined this info by now, because then their bluff will not work anylonger. They killed all 4 Rockefeller brothers & cloned them, they cloned Kissinger, he died in an airplane crash long ago. High
noon to wake up to the real nightmare happening.
Hmm...... well people have used themes like that as plots for films or books..... Fact is that human cloning is very difficult and scientists have only recently discovered ways to clone human embryos - and we know from work in animals that most cloned mammal embryos do not develop properly in the womb if implanted, and even if born, many go on to suffer terrible medical problems.
you sound like one of them potheads that think they have been abducted by aliens
That's certainly an interesting view of things. I'm not sure if I believe you but that's an excellent story. the technology probably isn't developed enough yet to clone humans but when they do, who gets to be cloned? Will it be a president or someone like you or I who is ordinary? How will the scientists choose?
Another question: What happens to the clones who DON'T make it?
Hello, i m janki patel, a student of m.pharm biotechnology.
I love this site as i have seen some of the video clips and read the text.Sir, i have a question that can the human cloning technique be usefull in the pharmaceutical fields? how it can be? is there any drug or the product available which can be useful ass the Active pharmaceutical ingredient? sir please reply me.
thanking you,
janki patel
I am not convinced that human cloning research will produce significant medical benefits compared to the same funding invested in other things. Human adult stem cell research is developing at astonishing speed and is attracting much of the "smart" money in biotechnology investment because there are no ethical challenges, the work is legal in every nation and results are so promising. It is very hard to get funding for human cloning research. Despite being legal (if permits approved) in the UK, only a tiny number of applications have been made - not what the camapaigners led us all to believe some years ago Human cloning technology is looking tired, a last century solution to a problem which other approaches can almost certainly fix.
