Human cloning


Cloning is a process in which an exact copy of a being is made. Cloning can be done on any kind of being that is living like animals and also humans, probably in the future. Cloning has been present from centuries in some way or another for example Plants are cloned from thousands of years for medical purposes.
Cloning is a topic that is considered to be a miracle and also a concern for many at the same time. The reason for this is that this is a new technology that can change the world in many ways. As all technologies, cloning is useful but also has many feared threats to the society.
There are many different types of cloning but the most popular is reproductive cloning. Other types are Somatic cell nuclear transfer and therapeutic cloning.
Even after more than a decade since Dolly, human cloning remains in its early life. Although cloning technology has improved, the process still has a slim success rate of 1 to 4 percent. However, science is headed in that direction -- pending governmental restraints . Cloning humans have not started yet so why is there a hype about this topic? Is there a need for concern even if human cloning hasn’t been introduced? Yes, there is……..
