Cloning I. Introduction to cloning A. Reproductive cloning 1. Transfers adult genetic material to an egg that’s genetic material has been removed 2. Cell is stimulated to divide and then is transferred to a female host until birth B. Therapeutic cloning 1. Used to harvest stem cells 2. Not usually successful II. Causes of cloning A. Deadly diseases 1.Cloning makes it easier to research and find cures for diseases 2.??? B. Stem cell research 1. Research to treat life-threatening diseases 2. Has much potential for developing new medical therapies III. Effects of cloning A. Serious health risks for both humans and animal 1. Even if a clone survives until birth, after thay are born, they usually exhibit birth defects. 2. Female hosts face serious risks including death IV. Possible solutions A. Under what circumstances is cloning okay 1. For important research 2. Cloning of organs for transplants B. Unethical uses of cloning 1. Full human cloning for body parts 2. The technique has not been proven safe for mother and child. They rarely end up healthy
