What does the process of somatic cell nuclear transfer involve and how is it used to create cloned cells? What are three positive and negative aspects of cloning both scientifically and morally? Also, discuss if it is a good use of science and will benefit mankind or whether you believe it is unethical and should no longer be pursued. P.S. You can expand your discussion outside of therapeutic cloning if you wish.

Step 1
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a technique used to create cloned cells. It involves the following steps: a. A somatic cell (a non-reproductive cell) is taken from an organism. b. The nucleus of the somatic cell, which contains the genetic Show more…

Explain and describe the process of somatic cell nuclear transfer and how it is used to create cloned cells. Moreover, explain what you consider to be the positive (at least 3) and negative (at least 3) aspects of cloning both scientifically and morally. Please also discuss whether you think it is a good use of science and will benefit mankind or whether you believe it is unethical and should no longer be pursued.

Describe the process of somatic cell nuclear transfer and how it is used to create cloned cells. Explain what you consider to be the positive and negative aspects of cloning both scientifically and morally, giving at least three 'for' and three 'against' points. Discuss whether it is a good use of science and will benefit mankind or whether it is unethical and should no longer be pursued. Is it possible to clone a human being?
