2. Overview
• Introduction of Cloning
• Types of Cloning
• Example of Cloning
• Human Cloning
• Pros and Cons of Human Cloning
• Future of Human Cloning
• FAQs about Cloning
• Conclusion

3. What do you think when you
hear the word “Cloning”?
• One person goes in, two people
come out
• Two people go in, four people
come out
• Clones instead of
babies(reproduction option)
• Clones for body parts
• Clones that take your place & live
your life
• A person of identical looks,
abilities, feelings, memories

4. Introduction
• Cloning is the process of producing
similar populations of genetically
identical individuals with identical
DNA.
• Clones can happen naturally—
identical twins are just one of many
examples, or they can be made in the
lab.

5. Different types of Cloning

6. Different types of Cloning
• Reproductive cloning involves producing a duplicate of an existing
animal. It has been used to clone various mammals now, but the
most famous cloned mammal is still "Dolly the Sheep". The DNA
from an embryo is removed and replaced with the DNA from an
adult animal. Then, the embryo is implanted in a womb and allowed
to develop into a new animal. It has not been tried on humans.
• Therapeutic cloning - In therapeutic cloning, the nucleus of a cell,
typically a skin cell, is inserted into a fertilized egg whose nucleus
has been removed. The nucleated egg begins to divide repeatedly
to form a blastocyst. Scientists then extract stem cells from the
blastocyst and use them to grow cells that are a perfect genetic
match for the patient.

7. Example of Cloning
Dolly the cloned sheep(1996)

8. Human Cloning
•Creation of a genetically identical
human being, human cell or human
tissue.
•Process for cloning is similar to as of
Dolly the sheep.
•Done through Artificial Embryo
Twinning or Somatic Cell Nuclear
Transfer

9. Humans have already been cloned!
• First hybrid human clone was created in November 1998.
• Scientists James Robl and Jose Cibelli created a human clone
• By Advanced Cell Technology.
• Created using Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer(SCNT) - a nucleus was
taken from a man's leg cell and inserted into a cow's egg from which
the nucleus had been removed, and the hybrid cell was cultured, and
developed into an embryo.
• The embryo was destroyed after 12 days.

10. What influence our views of
Cloning?

11. Celebrities Speak Up
• “I’d like to clone myself because then I would be able to
do the 50 movies a year that I want to do.”
- John Travolta
• “I’m not for it. People are one-of-a-kind creations. Maybe
I’d clone these Diamond earrings or my Rolex watch.”
- Halle Berry
• “I would love to have another me. That would be cool.
Someone who could do the movie while I chill at home &
get the check. And then if he was upset about it, I’d just
make another one just like him.”
- Will Smith

12. Pros & Cons of Human Cloning
Pros of Human Cloning :-
• Defective genes could be eliminated
• Infertility could be eliminated
Cons of Human Cloning :-
• There is a reduced sense of individuality
• There is a possibility of faster aging

13. Ethical Implications

14. Future of Human Cloning
• Sir John Gurdon, the British developmental Nobel-prize
winning biologist believes that human cloning could
happen within the next 50 years.
• Parents who lose their children to tragic accidents might
be able to clone replacements in the next few decades.
• Scientist explained that people were extremely suspicious
of in-vitro fertilization when it was first developed, but after
the first 'test tube baby', in 1978, the technique gained
wide acceptance and is used today by thousands of
infertile couples worldwide.

15. Would you clone yourself?
Times/CNNPole
Yes No

16. FAQs on Human Cloning

17. Answers to the questions
• Yes. In 2013, scientists have made an embryonic clone of a person,
using DNA from that person's skin cells. In the future, such a clone
could be a source of stem cells, for super-personalized therapies
made from people's own DNA, but it's unlikely that this clone could
develop into a human.
• Attempts have been made to clone at least ten mammalian species,
but at this point, published reports suggest that seven species—
sheep, cattle, goats, mice, pigs, cats, and rabbits—have been
successfully cloned.
• India does not have specific law regarding cloning but has guidelines
prohibiting whole human cloning or reproductive cloning. India allows
therapeutic cloning and the use of embryonic stem cells for research
purposes.

18. Conclusion
As citizens of the world we can not
ignore scientific research, but instead
regulate it.
“Either we control gene
technology today, or
technology will redesign us by
tomorrow.”
