2. Introduction
 Human cloning is the
creation of a
genetically identical
human being, human
cell or human tissue.

3. Cloning
 Cloning produces cells
that are genetically
similar to each other
(have the same DNA).
 This prevents an organ
(or cells) made through
cloning from being
rejected.

4. Types of Cloning
 There are two types of cloning:
1) Therapeutic cloning is the use of (stem) cells for
medicinal or research purposes.
2) Reproductive cloning would be using (stem) cells
to create cloned humans.

5. Types of Cloning

6. Therapeutic Cloning
1. Nucleus of an egg cell
is replaced with the
nucleus of a body cell.
2. Egg cell is stimulated
with electricity.
3. Embryo grows.
4. Embryo stem cells are
collected and used to
treat the donor.

7. Problems with Therapeutic
Cloning
 Therapeutic cloning creates embryos and then
destroys them for stem cells, which is morally wrong
to some.

8. Reproductive Cloning
1. Nucleus of an egg cell is
replaced with the
nucleus of a body cell.
2. Egg cell is stimulated
with electricity.
3. Embryo is put into a
uterus and allowed to
grow and be born.
4. The baby is an exact
genetic copy of the
donor!

9. Constrains with Reproductive
Cloning
 Reproductive cloning is deemed morally wrong
because it is creating a human life just to be a
walking organ donor for the person after whom
they were created.

10. Human Cloning
 Human cloning has sparked debate within the
scientific community since the 1960s.
 Lots of movies have been made concerning the ethics
of human cloning (Sleeper, The Boys from Brazil,
Multiplicity…).

11. Pro-Reproductive Cloning
 Severino Antinori and Panos Zavos hope to create a fertility
treatment that allows parents who are both infertile to have
children with at least some of their DNA in their offspring.
 Some scientists, including Dr. Richard Seed, suggest that human
cloning might prevent the human aging process.
 In Aubrey de Gray's proposed SENS (Strategies for Engineered
Negligible Senescence), one of the considered options to repair the
cell depletion related to cellular senescence is to grow replacement
tissues from stem cells harvested from a cloned embryo.

12. Anti-Reproductive Cloning
 Opponents of human cloning argue that the process will likely lead to
severely disabled children.
 Bioethicist Thomas Murray of the Hastings Centre argues that "it is
absolutely inevitable that groups are going to try to clone a human
being. But they are going to create a lot of dead and dying babies
along the way.”
 Due to the difficulty of cloning any living animal, it is likely that
there would be a great number of failures in the creation of a living
human clone, such as clones without viable immune systems or other
gross genetic failures.

13. More Cloning?
 A third type of cloning called
replacement cloning is a theoretical
possibility, and would be a
combination of therapeutic and
reproductive cloning.
 Replacement cloning would entail the
replacement of an extensively
damaged, failed, or failing body
through cloning followed by whole or
partial brain transplant.
 Never been attempted… that we
