Cloning can produce twins?

Cloning remains a very controversial area. It's issues  are very different, as the angles of which is seen. Doctors can consider it a therapeutic method of the future, patients can consider it the hope of healing , researchers could see it as discovering key information about the unknown genes. And some of us consider cloning a way to bring back dead loved ones. The idea was inspired by the way cloning is shown in movies. Others hoped that cloning is actually the answer waited in attempts to conceive a child.


Specialists try to smash these false hopes and present medical truth, scientific: only 1-2% of all cloned animals live (develop normally and are born live). The percentage of human embryos is even lower, pregnancy in humans is  much more complex than in animals. Unfortunately, even from this small percentage, many animals die within the first weeks after birth. In the end,  the figures are even less encouraging. Even though many cloned animals appear normal, genetic tests refute this impression. In terms of safety to clone a future child it is not a thing to be considered. It is too dangerous, and the implications could be catastrophic. In addition, reproductive cloning is still banned in many countries.


Even if it is reached a point where it will consider cloning a much more certain method, it is wrong the assumption that such a method can duplicate or multiple humans. It should not be encouraged and not perpetuated.


Nor have to be encouraged the idea that by cloning can be achieved identical twins, in every respect. Even in the natural process, identical twins are in fact ... different. Aspect is perhaps the only common point, though, despite the fact that DNA is 100% identical, fingerprints differ.They develop their personality in different ways.


In the same way, each clone is actually a unique individual.
