5. Conclusion
1. Cloning is the production of an exact genetic duplicate of a
living organism or cell (Braid, 2002).
2. The arrival of dolly who was (5 July 1996 – 14 February
2003) a female domestic sheep.
3. Evidence to prove the success of human cloning.
4. Ethical and moral values against the science of cloning.
SUPPORTING ARGUMENTS1. Infertility
“Enables infertile couples to have children of their own”
2. Defective Gene
Defective genes can be recognized and corrected before birth
with the help of cloning.
3. Deadly Diseases
The most perceptive way the stem cells can be used is to cure
genetic disease by cellular repair of tissues
OBJECTIONS AGAINST CLONINGOBJECTIONS AGAINST CLONING
1. Diminished Sense of Individuality:
He/she may be recognized only for the genome it carries and not the
individuality of the person himself.
2. Tampering of Gene Pool
Mutations may cause genetic defects in the cloned individual.
3. Undesirable Traits
Critics have claimed that cloning might be used to reproduce certain traits
that might be harmful for the society.
REPLY TO OBJECTIONS
1. Actions Determine individuality
Only human actions can determine individuality.
2. Mutations are common
Gene misplacing or rearrangement happens very often in a normal or sexually born
individual.
3. Desirable traits
according to psychologists nature and nurture both have to an equal hand in the
development of the individual.
DISCUSSIONDISCUSSION
Benefits
1. Solution for infertility.
2. Cure for deadly diseases.

4. Bringing back people of special
importance and traits.
Drawbacks
1. Success not proved through
research.
2. Morally and ethical issues in
research.
3. Mutations and mishaps.
CONCLUSION
1. Although this method has not been proven at
large on humans it is taken to be effective on
animals that may have human like genome
(Lane, 2006).
2. Nature and nurture both have an equal hand in
the development of the individual.
