Suppose you wake up one day and realize that a human being with your exact same characteristics is walking around and about, but they aren’t your twin or sibling at all, they are just a copy of your chromosomes and everything they look is completely similar to you, in other words a clone of you. How would you take that? Would it be a good feeling, or completely the opposite? The topic of cloning has been a very controversial topic in the medical field during the past few years and even today, as scientists and researchers continue to find the way to clone a human being and be successful. But would the consequences of being able to clone human beings be good or bad? There are many professional people that point out many points for and against cloning. To begin with, cloning is the process to make a clone which is a cell, cell product, or organism that is genetically identical to the unit or individual from which it derived. A clone is a mere image of the original being and has the exact same characteristics, DNA, and form as its original. It is not a twin or a double. In the article by Amit Marcus, he describes, “Human clones, although approximately genetically identical, would resemble each other less that identical twins: unlike identical twins, they would share the majority of their genes, but not all; they would most probably not share the same prenatal environment; they may be raised by different parents in different environments, and possibly in different eras. Hence clones are not replicas of their originals (Marcus 3).” Of course as technology and medicine started to evolve and get more and more advanced as the years go by, the idea of cloning not only occurred to one person in particular but to a variety of researchers and scientists all over the world that still, to this day, want to be successful in creating a human clone for various purposes. It all started in 1979 as the first identical mice were cloned. According to The Sanctity of Human Life Act, “the term ‘cloning’ means the process called somatic cell nuclear transfer, which combines an enucleated egg and the nucleus of the somatic cell to make a human embryo (Langwith 163). In the first case, however, it involved mice cells and as the experiment became successful they moved on to try to clone cows, sheep, and chickens by the same process of transferring the nucleus of a egg taken from an early embryo into an egg that has been emptied of its nucleus. Of course many experiments died prior to birth, during birth, and mostly all recently after birth, until 1996 when Dolly, the sheep, came out and about from the cells of a six year old sheep. The experimentations did not stop there; Japan cloned eight calves from a single cow however only four of them were able to survive, in 1998. Till this day there has not been a case of an actual human clone that has survived. There have been many reported cases around the world in the last few years but none of them have solid evidence of their clone to be alive and successfully produced from another human being. This is the billion dollar experiment that researchers and scientists are trying to achieve and complete to set their names on the book for good. According to the National Human Genome Research Institute there are three different types of cloning; they are: therapeutically, reproductive, and gene. Therapeutically is mainly to make a clone that has the same characteristics as the original being to be able to help them in the future in case of disease or illness, by being able to use thei
