... Haretha Aydi Access I.T Human Cloning Assignment Introduction: In this assignment, we are to choose a specific subject and write out and argument with and against it. We should also include background information and carry out a research on that specific topic, lastly a conclusion should be set out. Background Knowledge: 1)- Human cloning: First explored by Spemann in the 1920's to conduct genetics research, nuclear transfer is the technique currently used in the cloning of adult animals. A technique known as twinning exists, but can only be used before organism's cells differentiate. All cloning experiments of adult mammals have used a variation of nuclear transfer. Nuclear transfer requires two cells, a donor cell and an oocyte, or egg cell. Research has proven that the egg cell works best if it is unfertilized, because it is more likely to accept the donor nucleus as its own. The egg cell must be enucleated. The nucleus is
