Cloned Lives

Cloning advocates have touted this type of science as therapeutic cloning. This is different from reproductive cloning since therapeutic cloning deals with embryos only, not human babies carried to term.
Is it time to worry about human cloning again?
Embryos contain pluripotent embryonic stem cells , meaning that they can differentiate into more than types of cells. Scientists extract these stem cells when embryos are in the blastocyst phase, the stage when an embryo contains around cells. The stem cells come from the interior of the blastocyst.

The famous astrophysicist Paul Swenson creates five perfect clones in his own image. The Swenson clones are the targets of criticism, hostility and abuse from a .
But removing the stem cells effectively destroys the embryo. Many people within and beyond the scientific community disagree with this practice of cloning that terminates embryos, sparking a continued debate about the bioethics of embryonic stem cell research. This simply isn't true. You remember that cloning is a way to create an embryo, not a full-grown individual. The embryo, once created, must develop exactly the same way as a regular embryo made by joining egg and sperm.

You can't bear the thought of living without her, so you contact a biotechnology company that advertises pet cloning services. For a fee, this company will clone Frankie using DNA from a sample of her somatic cells.
Are you familiar with the phrase "nature versus nurture? For example, do you know any identical twins? They are genetically the same, but do they really look and act exactly alike?
So, even though Frankie 2 is genetically identical to the original Frankie, she will grow and develop in a completely different environment than the original Frankie, she will have a different mother, and she will be exposed to different experiences throughout her development and life. Therefore, there is only a slim chance that Frankie 2 will closely resemble the Frankie you know and love. Another difference between a clone and the original is the mitochondria.

Mitochondria are organelles that sit inside nearly every cell. Their job is to burn fuel from the food we eat to make energy.
Mitochondria have their own chromosome, made of DNA and divided into genes, and they divide as our cells divide. We get our mitochondria from our mothers. Egg cells are packed with mitochondria, which are copied and distributed to new cells as they form.

Mar 29, Kris rated it liked it. Started off well, but I really disliked some of the clones, so I didn't really enjoy the chapters from their perspective. I also didn't like the ending.
I would read something else by her though. The author tells a story about cloning people who are at the top in their field and why you can't clone an exact copy of a human. Awesome and must read.
