Case Study Area: Dolly the Sheep is a case of assisted reproduction. The case concerns reproductive cloning which has caused much controversy in science and ethics. KCSummary: Dolly the sheep is the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell ("Cloning Dolly the Sheep"). Dolly was produced at the Roslin Institute in the United Kingdom in 1996. A clone has an identical genetic configuration derived asexually from a single organism (Wadhawan and Singh 16). The development of Dolly the sheep from an adult cell was a major achievement because it demonstrated that the DNA of adult cells could be used to create an organism, rather than embryonic cells to do so ("Cloning of Dolly the Sheep"). Dolly was developed from 277 cell fusions resulting in just 29 developed embryos implanted in 13 surrogate mothers of which only one had a full-term pregnancy ("Dolly Sheep Cloning"). The cloning of Dolly the sheep demonstrated that cloned animals can reproduce naturally ("Cloning of Dolly the Sheep"). However, Dolly only lived six and a half years, about half the life expectancy of sheep. He suffered from arthritis and a lung virus from living indoors ("Cloning Dolly the Sheep"). Since Dolly's birth, cloning has been used to produce other mammals such as mice, pigs, cats, cows, and a mule (Wadhawan and Singh 18). The cloning of these mammals will undoubtedly lead to the cloning of humans (“Dolly's Legacy”). This is a particular topic that causes a lot of cloning controversy. While Canada, along with more than thirty other countries, has banned human cloning, the United States has yet to pass any legislation on the matter (Wadhawan and Singh 19). There are many advantages to cloning humans. For example, infer... in the center of the document... property and criminal matters. The biggest ethical problem with cloning is that the subject can be harmed unnecessarily, both during experiments and by expectations after birth. Since all this cloning technology is still relatively new, security issues may arise. As mentioned above, it took 227 attempts to produce a healthy Dolly. Additionally, more deaths and developmental anomalies have been reported as a result of the trial. Secondly, on a human rights level, human cloning may violate two very important principles on which human rights are based. The first is the principle of equality between individuals and the second is the principle of non-discrimination between individuals. Some people fear that clones will be mistreated and may suffer from mental and emotional problems due to a lack of individuality and autonomy..
