Describe the physical problems involved with cloning?

Here are some ideas for you:\n\n"Decline in genetic diversity. \nTaking nature into our own hands. \nReligious and moral reasons. \nPhysical problems, such as birth defects. \nPossibility of mental and emotional problems of the clone. "

A lot of them are ethical and moral questions.   For example, if you were going to use cloned human cells for testing of a drug, where would you draw the line?  Somewhere between a cell and a fully grown human, but who gets to make that decision of where?\n\nOr a more far out question: Imagine if you could clone your favorite movie star, celebrity or anyone else to be your husband or wife?   How many copies of the same person would we have roaming around?   And even so, would that person want to be your husband and wife anyway?  Who would be that person's parents or next of kin?   Do you really have a right to "create" that person or treat them like property?  Are they a person?   \n\nDo you see how the idea of human cloning creates a lot of issues that wouldn't otherwise exist?

Actually the answer for cloning is also no. If we were to clone a human the baby would not grow in a lab. The embryo would still be implanted in to a women just like baby's being born via in vitro fertilization.

This question DOES have an answer. The answer is that since souls do not exist, no soul would be entering another's body. When, yes WHEN, a human is cloned (unfortunately someone WILL do it), the clone will have the same genes. They will look alike and theirs traits that are determined by genetics and not environment will likely be the same as well. However, they will still be two different human beings. Both are still alive and the clone will be a baby. You won't feel any different. Why would you? There are many ethical implications involved with cloning. It would be sort of like identical twins (who share same DNA and fingerprints etc) but the result would be very odd indeed especially if the two talked to one another. How alike would they be?

Let it be known that binary fissin is not the same as cloning, in cloning you grow a brand new identical copy of thenoriginal from just the DNA, in binary fission, the organism splits in two and each half takes one half of the DNA it contains, forming new DNA strands by the half that is intact. A very small difference and you get the same result. I also don't believe the cloning would be considered a form of asexual reproduction, but I can't come up with any good arguments, so will only state what I feel without proof.

One of the major problems with most transplant procedures is acceptibility. The patient's body recognizes the new organ as an intruder or threat, and attacks it.\nA cloned version of yourself would theoretically be a source of completely acceptable organs, since they are, in essence, your organs, genetically identical. Of course, you'd be killing another sentient being to harvest these organs, so there's the morality issue.\n\nHuman ingenuity has always been directed towards two opposite goals, saving lives, and destroying them. The other likely reason for cloning humans is for war. Identical soldiers, genetically modified to increase their physical prowess, dexterity with their weapon, and willingness to follow orders. Why send thousands of skilled laborers, with families and children, to their deaths when you can have a clone army grown specifically to be cannon fodder?\n\nI'm sure you could think of a few more reasons, if you really thought about it.

Many people disagree; some on religious grounds (against God's will), some on ethical/moral (somehow cloning is unnatural).  given that clones have same DNA they would have same immune system and thus be vulnerable to diseases that others might resist because of variations.

Clone DVD and Clone CD are the best i have found so far.  never have any problems with them.  and they are so easy 1.2.3 steps you dong get mind boggled trying to figure out how to do it.

We don't want to have human cloning. That has been made abundantly clear by numerous polls and elections.\n\nI doubt that you personnally know even a single person who wants human cloning.

I'll ignore the religious aspects--you can find Scripture to support or condemn pretty much anything.\n\nI think some of the ethical problems people have with cloning are:  We might accidentally create people with the lab equivalent of severe birth defects, who would suffer because of our imperfect skill.  People might be cloned as replacements for dead people or as organ factories for sick ones, and not be allowed to live their own lives.  Some people worry about clones being used in identity theft as well.

In identical twins one is is a natural clone of the other.  If science ever really created an artificial clone, it would have the same right to life as anyone else.  But I do not expect a responsible scientist to do that.  What they're up to is creating stem cells for use in curing a variety of diseases.  Those who oppose this are phonies about their respect for life.

A human clone, if succesful, is just a twin of the original person (but younger).  That's seems morally legitimate.  But today the success rate would be very low; some of the failures would be horrible birth defects.  So it would be unethical to attempt cloning a human today.  Eventually, if it could be done reliably, it would be ethical (but getting there from here seems awfully difficult).

People might have different views about cloning. But  if  organs are cloned for people who cant find any donors ,then its right and should be encouraged.But this technology should be handled with extra care, so that it may not get misused

1) Diseases like AIDS, TYPHOID, CANCER etc..\n2) CLONING\n3) Angiogram \n\nYou'll be getting more topics From other people So dont worry ...Even these topics are interesting.

Depends on what kind of cloning you are talking about.\n\nThe term "cloning" can be used to describe inserting a foreign gene into a bacteria... or creating a genetically identical copy of organism.\n\nTo create an identical copy... you would require an oocyte (an egg) and a somatic cell.  You'd need to remove all the DNA from the egg and the somatic cell... then inject the DNA into the egg.  Along with other factors and after growing... you will have an organism gentically identical to the orriginal.\n\nCloning genes into bacteria involves a plasmid (circular piece of non-chromosomal DNA).  You would need to open up the plasmid using restriction enzymes (DNA scissors basically) and cut the gene of interest out with the same enzyme.  Mix them then insert into your bacteria by your favorite method (electroporation, chemical method, heat/cold shock, micro-injection).  Let the bacteria grow (all bacteria in a colony are gentically identical to the parent... for the most part)
