Is Human Cloning Far away?
March 10th 2011 22:23
Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human. Arguments continue for and against human cloning research. Australian government gives first license to create cloned human embryos to try and obtain embryonic stem cells.
In 1996, Dolly the Sheep was the first mammal to have been successfully cloned from an adult cell. She was cloned at the Roslin Institute in Midlothian, Scotland. Her birth was announced on 22 February 1997 and died at 6 years old.
In February 2004,Woo Suk Hwany of Soeul National University in Korea announced in February 2004 that he had successfully cloned healthy human embryos removed embryonic stem cells and grown them in mice.
Once human cloning becomes a reality, should we be in fear or gradually accept it like in vitro fertilization? As the rapid development of genetic technology, the human cloning is not far away and will change human life fundamentally.
