...oning), and Therapeutic cloning (a.k.a. biomedical cloning). Though there are probably more types of cloning the government has focused on these three because these are the ones that are the most talked about. Also due to the fact that these been scientifically proven to work on a more dominant success level. Now with that in mind it would be easier to understand why these types of cloning are being studied to benefit the human race. Embryo Cloning is a type of cloning which produces monozygotic (identical) twins or triplets. It duplicates the process that nature uses to produce twins or triplets. One or more cells are removed from a fertilized embryo and then develop into one or more duplicate embryos. Twins or triplets are then formed, with identical DNA. This has been done for many years on various species of animals; only very limited experimentation has been done on humans. Adult DNA cloning (a.k.a. reproductive cloning) is a technique, which is used to produce a duplicate of an existing animal. It has been used to clone a sheep and other mammals. The DNA from an ovum is removed and replaced with the DNA from a cell removed from an adult animal. Then, the fertilized ovum is implanted in a womb and develops into a new animal. The last one I will discuss is Therapeutic cloning (a.k.a. biomedical cloning). This is a procedure whose stages or process are identical to adult DNA cloning. However, the stem cells are removed from the pre-embryo with the intention of producing tissue or whole organs for transplant back into the person who supplied the DNA. The goal of therapeutic cloning is to produce a healthy copy of a sick person's tissue or organ for transplant. This technique wou...
