Abstract
This paper discusses what cloning is and both pros and cons of cloning. Cloning can be used for different reasons from cloning kidneys to having a clone baby that will replace the lost of a child that might have been killed in an accident. The question arises about how safe this actually is and whether it is ethical.

Abstract
In this essay, the writer examines the science of cloning. The writer defines cloning and explains the science. The writer looks at the controversy that exists over human cloning. The writer discusses human embryo experiments, in addition to stem-cell research, or reproductive cloning. Further, the writer looks at the question whether or not cloned cells should be protected by law.

From the Paper
"A clone is an individual organism grown from a single body cell of its parent making it a genetic duplicate of the parent. According to an article in Wilson Quarterly, that a sheep had been cloned from the cells in the udder of a six year old ewe, the world was both elated and stunned. Despite the uncertainties regarding technology, the cloning of animals may benefit humans. For example cloning ... "

Abstract
This paper discusses how the public opinion dealing with cloning is still greatly divided and how many religious groups are against cloning because they feel that it is wrong to copy natural creation. It contends that the advantages of cloning far outweigh those concerns and also the disadvantages. It argues that cloning is completely ethical and there should be no bans against the production of organs, organisms, and living things for scientific and human enhancement, whether it is saving lives or creating them.

From the Paper
"Cloning has been a heated debate in America in recent years. It is one of the most controversial topics that exist today. Many people have misconceptions about it that lead to a misunderstanding of the possible advantages that could result from cloning. With President Bush pushing for a total cloning ban and swaying large numbers of Americans on his side, it is hard to oppose it and take the stance for pro-cloning. However, for every disadvantage on cloning, there are hundreds of advantages to support it. America is on the brink of a genomic revolution with the outcome of finding many cures they never knew were possible. It is time that a new light is shed on cloning. It is time that Americans look to pro-cloning in our new technological age for great improvements in life and on scientific discoveries."

Abstract
A paper which argues for the legalization of cloning, and the writer states reason why he is personally in favor of this measure. The writer also uses an excerpt from Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein"to show the other side of the table, as well as several other sources in support of the legalization of cloning.

From the Paper
"Just think of all the benefits that cloning could provide. Death and disease would be virtually nonexistent. People would be able to live longer, healthier, happier lives. There would no longer be an endangered species list. Survival rates would be at an all time high. Food production would be greatly increased. In spite all of these positive aspects of cloning, I do not believe that the world will ever see a cloning generation. There are too many anti-cloning activists that roam the earth and too many people afraid of change that science and technology can bring. There are not enough people willing to take the required risks. For, as Frederick B. Wilcox says, "Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first" (Quote Garden)."

Abstract
The paper examines cloning from the perspective of replacing the life of a lost son or daughter. The paper then discusses how even in the case that cloning could produce a healthy replication -- no clone of any mammal to date can be said to be healthy -- replacing a loved one with a clone misses the moral, and ethical and philosophical awarenes that their loved one still is not being replaced. Furthermore, the paper argues that it would put a terrible and twisted fate upon the revived dead.

From the Paper
"The ethical case to be made for cloning rests on a feeble foundation - sadly the most typical proposal forwarded to date appeals to our narcissistic nature, believing perhaps that many identical copies of self would recreate the world in one's own image - or maybe there is an unexpressed belief that we would be truly recreating ourselves - not just a three-dimensional photocopy of our genes, but a spiritual and emotional entity that we could vicariously life through, or perpetuate our own ego's individualized existence. Hmmm ... Whereas the narcissism card evokes little compassion or support, the..."

Abstract
This paper examines the way that cloning is viewed is several pieces of literature and movies. By looking at these sources, it explains that it is clear that the debate over the dangers of cloning will continue for some time. It shows how cloning technology does have the potential to fundamentally change society.

From the Paper
"Cloning is rapidly emerging as one of the most controversial and emotion-laden of topics in today's world. Science fiction movies like Invasion of the Body Snatchers reveal societies' attitude fear that cloning is a process that strips humanity of its soul, leaving a blank, emotionless husk. In To Clone or Not to Clone, Jean Bethke Elshtain reiterates many of these fears, arguing that cloning brings up the fears of the loss of individuality and the inappropriateness of man going "too far" in their quest for mastery over nature. In contrast, Philip Kitcher argues that many common fears about cloning reveal more about the public misunderstanding of genetics than they do about the reality of cloning itself, and that cloning is a neutral technology that can be used ethically or unethically depending on society's choices. Ultimately, the debate about cloning has a long way to go in order to address fears about the process that are commonly depicted in the popular media and Hollywood movies like Invasion of the Body Snatchers."

Abstract
This paper looks at the case of Dolly the cloned sheep and posits that while the writer does support cloning for scientific purposes such as the regeneration of organs, he does not believe in cloning of the human being as a whole. This paper serves to outline the writer's beliefs, provide supportive documentation and discuss both arguments for and against human cloning.

From the Paper
"An organism which is genetically identical to another constitutes a clone. Essentially cloning allows reproduction to occur without the intervention of sexual activity, and this in turn reduces diversity. Cloning already exists in the natural world outside of the setting of Dolly in microbes, plants and some lower animals. It can also occur naturally in man when more than one fetus results from one fertilized egg and the outcome is twins, triplets, quadruplets, etc. So what is different about the situation with Dolly? It is likely that in this case, this cloning experiment has been successful in a species not distantly removed from the human, and also the fact that in Dolly's case it was a human who was used as the donor instead of an embryo."

Abstract
This paper argues that human beings have a right to cloning to our benefit.

Abstract
""A clone is one or more identical organisms descending asexually from a single common ancestor" (Encarta 99). It is a copy or close reproduction of a DNA sequence or gene produced by genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is the alteration of an organism's genetic code, to remove characteristics of a creature that are not wanted and to replace them with desirable ones. Members of a clone are identical in their inherited characteristics except for differences caused by attitude. They have the identical genetic makeup of the parent organism. "

From the Paper
"In the near future, we will have to face the fact that the course of science will always win and inevitability cloning of human or at least the cloning of organs will be performed. The question is "is cloning human beings acceptable and where do we draw the line?" Cloning has sparked controversies over the past few years. With the race to map the DNA and its completion, it has steered up the imagination of our society of what to come. In this paper, we will discus how the mass media has influenced our views and values associated with a human life and the possibility of it being cloned. We will also look at the religious point of view as well as the science on this issue. We will take a quick look on how cloning has and will affect society along with what it is to be human. This technology is still new and a lot the following will be opinions, ideas and reflections on this issue. One must take them into consideration. If one simply jumps to a conclusion, then one is fool hearted and naive since it is still too early to make such a decision whether it is permissible to clone to clone human beings. There is simply no right or wrong answer, just a matter of moral, ethics and what you believe in. For decades, cloning has been a novelty of science fiction movies but with the resent development in biotechnology and the arrival of Dolly the cloned sheep, the possibility of cloning a human being came ever so close to reality."
