Kloning Manusia  Teresa L. Wargasetia   In the last few years,
very rapid progress in the cloning technology and its
development towards human cloning has become a hotly-debated
issue. Cloning, which is the process of formation of a number of
individuals with the same genetic structure, can be done by
means of embryo-splitting method and nuclear transfer. Human
cloning through the nuclear transfer method is directed towards
two purposes, i.e. reproduction and therapy. The relatively new
transgenic technology can be combined with the cloning technique
to produce clones with new genes. However, pros and cons arise
concerning the development of research on human cloning,
particularly cloning for reproductive purposes. Therefore, there
is need for a moratorium period before human cloning can be
performed in order that solutions for all kinds of problems
related to safety and ethics can be found.   Full Text: PDF
