Cloning : Inside the Story
Cloning (Beyond?)
By: Juliet Maciel and Margarita Lopez
"Artificial embryo twinning is a way to make clones. As the name suggests, this technique mimics the natural process that creates identical twins. In nature, twins form very early in development when the embryo splits in two. Twinning happens in the first days after egg and sperm join, while the embryo is made of just a small number of unspecialized cells. Each half of the embryo continues dividing on its own, ultimately developing into separate, complete individuals. Since they developed from the same fertilized egg, the resulting individuals are genetically identical."(Shapiro, Harold T. "Ethical and policy issues of human cloning."

Benefits:
Some of the Benefits of cloning is that they are saving the specifics if they are extinct. Also they are improving the potential of medicine. To fully explore the stem cells, and to provide new ways to treat cancer.
Risks:
Some of the risk is that you can inherit diseases and some scientists intended to go a little crazy with the technology. Any of them will do whatever it takes to get the answer if its possible to cloning animals or even a person
