= Cloning: to make an identical copy of something. = = = = = =__Pros and Cons:__=

__Pros__


 * Some doctors believe that human cloning can benefit people with organ problems by using genetic manipulation to help heal damaged cells and grow new organs.
 * People who have problems with infertility can use cloning to make their own babies.
 * Cloning humans can help solve diseases more easily.

__Cons__


 * Many people believe that the cloning of humans is morally and ethically wrong.
 * The technology of cloning is in very early phases meaning it could major dysfunctions.
 * When messing and manipulating DNA it often leads to health complications and does a lot more bad than good.
 * Criminals would be able to get away with crimes by cloning themselves and having their clone commit crimes for them.

Animal Cloning is when they take the donor cell from the udder and the egg from the other animal, afterwards they make the two cells fused together creating an electric shock. The fused cell begins dividing and the embryo is placed back into the uterus of that animal. The DNA in the embryo contains both genetics on what the animal had. Human Cloning is when they take the egg cell with the genes then they remove the nucleus. They add DNA tissue to egg cell and create the Clone.
