To clone or not to clone?
To clone... Or not to clone? That is a good question! Cloning has its advantages, but also its disadvantages. We might not realize what we are doing. It is like a sword with two blades.

Who are we to decide about someone’s life, his future, his happiness?
متن کاملTo clone or not to clone--a Jewish perspective.
Many new reproductive methods such as artificial insemination, in vitro fertilisation, freezing of human embryos, and surrogate motherhood were at first widely condemned but are now seen in Western society as not just ethically and morally acceptable, but beneficial in that they allow otherwise infertile couples to have children. The idea of human cloning was also quickly condemned but debate i...
متن کاملToward therapeutic cloning and regenerative biology research forum: To clone or not to clone
Creating exact copies (clones) of an individual has long been a made-to-believe story in various cultures throughout mankind history. However, the report of successfully creating a genetic clone of an adult animal from a differentiated somatic cell [1] completely shocked the world. The cloning technology involves taking the nucleus from a somatic cell and then inserting that nucleus into an unf...
متن کاملTo Clone or Not To Clone: Method Analysis for Retrieving Consensus Sequences In Ancient DNA Samples
The challenges associated with the retrieval and authentication of ancient DNA (aDNA) evidence are principally due to post-mortem damage which makes ancient samples particularly prone to contamination from "modern" DNA sources. The necessity for authentication of results has led many aDNA researchers to adopt methods considered to be "gold standards" in the field, including cloning aDNA amplico...
متن کاملTo clone or not to clone plant QTLs: present and future challenges.
Recent technical advancements and refinement of analytical methods have enabled the loci (quantitative trait loci, QTLs) responsible for the genetic control of quantitative traits to be dissected molecularly. To date, most plant QTLs have been cloned using a positional cloning approach following identification in experimental crosses. In some cases, an association between sequence variation at ...
