My Personal Question About Cloning


Multiple men in suits, all identical looking

What do I have to ask about cloning? Well, if we do find a way to make it more humane, will we ever bring humans back to life and create a "zombie" using reproductive cloning? The answer: probably not. Currently, even with cloning mice, some genetic abnormalities are present that may interrupt the growth process of the embryo. Along with this, when removing the nucleus from the egg cell, proteins essential to help cells divide are taken away. Mice embryo are able to make these proteins again, however, primates do not possess this ability. Now I just simply say "probably not" because, who knows. Humans doubted a lot of items and ideas that are used everyday such as computers, cars, etc.
