 * 1) Cloning can be used to clones living animals and humans, or it can be used to cure diseases (therapeutic)
 * 2) Scientists think that embryonic stem cell science can create a cure for diseases like Parkinson's disease and diabetes
 * 3) Some think research could lead to human cloning
 * 4) It can be used to fix bad genes
 * 5) Type of asexual reproduction
 * 6) Created by using technology to duplicate the genetic makeup of someone's body
 * 7) Has already been used to clone humans
 * 8) Many people think it is unethical to clone humans
 * 9) Many of the humans that are cloned die early
 * 10) Used to understand the causes of diseases
 * 11) Good cells can be cloned and injected into people with diseases
 * 12) 100 million Americans suffer from incurable diseases
 * 13) Some scientists say therapeutic cloning will not lead to any medical advancements
 * 14) Therapeutic cloning has not been used to cure any patients yet
 * 15) No organizations have committed to it yet because it is expensive
 * 16) Many animal clones die within weeks due to organ problems
 * 17) Some scientists think someone is going to try to clone people on a huge scale
 * 18) Unethical because it endangers the life of children who would be alive if they were not born through cloning
 * 19) Scientists think it would be irresponsible to clone a human with how much knowledge they have about cloning
 * 20) 88% of Americans agree that cloning is morally wrong
 * 21) Reproductive cloning can endanger the life of birth mothers
 * 22) Reproductive cloning is wrong because humans that were cloned would be seen as copies of an original rather than their self

1.Dolly the sheep was born 1997 2.Cloned cows 3.Cloned mice, goats and pigs 4.People have always wanted to clone 5.Only recently has cloning become able to be done 6.About a 2 percent success rate of cloning animals 7.Less of a chance for dogs, monkeys, chickens, etc 8.Idaho gem was the first born cloned horse type animal 9.Idaho gem was a mule 10.He was born May 4th 2003 11.Most clones do not survive 12.Usually die right after birth 13.Animals could be used as models for curing disease 14.Cloned mice are tested more because they reproduce fast 15.Mice genetics have been studied deeply 16.Cells removed from embryos are known as stem cells 17.Stem cells are undesignated cells 18.They can be tricked into making organs or body parts 19.Using embryos for research is illegal at this time 20.The media is critical of cloning 21.Is considered tampering with god 22.Churches highly oppose the use of cloning 23.Cloning has low success rate 24.And also high chance of abnormality 25.Very few scientists want to attempt human cloning due to what might go wrong 26.Cloning has opened many doors to scientific opportunities 27.Cloning is still in the stages of development 28.More is being understood about genetic make up due to cloning 29.Many celebrities support cloning 30.Some people see cloning as the end of the world while some see it as the beginning of the future By: KM

Oak, Manali. "Pros and cons of cloning." 1. Web. 25 May 2010. . C.N. Notes:
 * 1) The process of copying something
 * 2) The vital organs of the human body can be cloned, so we can use them for transplants
 * 3) It can be use as another for of having kids if infertile
 * 4) A very good way of keeping a trait in humans
 * 5) Make clones with certain qualities
 * 6) Can help as a very good tool for research in the field of genetics, and reproduction
 * 7) Might help find out certain diseases and get rid of them

"Pros and cons of human cloning." //yerna// 1/8/2002: 1. Web. 25 May 2010. . C.N. 1. People say it dangerous to the female, the fetus and the new born 2. likely to fail 3. They do not know, even if it is safe, that it would be acceptable to use 4. Only a small amount of cloning is successful 5. Often is it not safe for either the newborn or the mother 6. There is a ban on cloning as of now 7. They will review the ban on cloning within 5 years 8. It has to be reviewed by a board before it can be used 9. It could be used as another way of reproduction 10. Can a human identical to another human 11. It is also called nuclear transplantation or somatic cell nuclear transfer 12. Take a cell they made and put into a fetus 13. They will not always be the same as the adult because of pre natal and post natal surroundings 14. There is also non-reproductive cloning 15. This is used for research and other stuff 16. This does not involve being produces through the uterus 17. Used for further study and clinical applications 18. Could help therapies for treating diseases 19. At the moment there is a ban on cloning 20. They have said threat stem cell and cloning is the future of medical advances 21. There have already been 5 animals that have already been used for cloning research 22. There are a lot of problems that went on with the first 5 experiments 23. Very few cloning attempts are successful 24. even if the survive after birth, many have large amount of birth defects 25. Female animals that give birth to clones run a high risk of serious affects after birth 26. Human cloning is likely to have the same effect 27. Woman humans would run a high risk of injury if donating egg’s for research for cloning 28. Scientists have said that human cells can be cloned 29. The panel said that they should see all sides of the pros and cons of cloning 30. They will have their decision within 5 years about cloning


 * 1) Scientists think that embryonic stem cell science can create a cure for diseases like Parkinson's disease and diabetes but it is unlikely that this will happen
 * 2) It can be used to fix bad genes, but can also mess up genes
 * 3) It can be used to find a cure for diseases, but can a cloned baby can also carry diseases
 * 4) They also have therapeutic cloning, but it has not yet cured anyone
 * 5) can used to help find causes of disease, but isn’t shown yet to cure any
 * 6) You can clone humans, but the ones that have been cloned have died early
 * 7) You clone animals, but only one has lived for more then a couple of days
 * 8) It can be very helpful in the future, but no company has invested in making it better because it is very expensive.
