Bill Clinton 24 years ago banned human cloning research

The possibility of human cloning emerged when Scottish scientists at the Roslin Institute created the highly talked sheep Dolly, which increased worldwide interest and concern because of its scientific and ethical complications.

The product, defined by Science magazine as the 1997 revolution, also brought uncertainty about the meaning of” x1> a defence term traditionally used by scientists to describe different processes for doubling biological material.

Doctors from the American Medical Association and scientists from the American Association for Advanced Science have published formal public statements opposing the reproductive cloning of human beings. The United States Congress has considered adopting legislation prohibiting human cloning.

Regarding the inefficiency of animal cloning, only one or two surviving offspring for every 100 experiments and shortages in the full sense of reproductive cloning, many scientists and doctors strongly insist that it would prove not ethical to be cloned.

Not only do most of the attempt to clone mammals fail, but about 30% of living-born clones are affected by the syndrome of “offspring of large size” and other debilitating conditions.

A large number of cloned animals have died prematurely from infections and other complications. Same problems should be expected in cloning people. Furthermore, scientists do not know how cloning would affect mental development. While intellect and spirituality may not be so important to a cow or a mouse, they are crucial to the development of healthy humans. With so many unknown for reproductive cloning, trying to clone man at the moment is considered dangerous and ethically irresponsible.
