Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?
Jen, a clone is produced by taking a female egg, removing the nucleus, and replacing it with the complete DNA of another subject. At a certain point in cellular growth, the egg is placed in a female so that it can grow as a normally fertilized egg. The advantage to cloning is that almost the same individual can be replicated over and over. So if the replicated indvidual is an example of the most suitable qualities of that species, then it can be reproduced without as much genetic variablilty as would occur with the natural transmission of genetic inheritance. Problems are that even when you use the DNA from the same individual, mutations can occur as a result of natural breakdown in the DNA, effects from radiation and the environment, etc. So even with a clone the DNA changes over time. Most of the issues that sway people one way or the other with regard to cloning are ethical and religious values.
