A) Cloning is the process of generating a genetically identical copy of a cell or an organism. B) It is used now and will be used in the near future. C) Yes, the embryo does not have the status of a human person.

D) Cloning is a useful technique for producing tangence farm animals and is likely to be used for producing clones from valuable adults. E) It has also become a well-recognized tool in forensic sciences, to identify the origins of blood and other fluids. At the same time PCR and its close scientific relative, cloning, play a major role in efforts to understand the disease process F) Cloning for research and therapy holds great potential for future research and therapeutic applications, but it also raises various concerns

A) A genetically modified organism is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. B) It is used now and will be used in the future. C) The use of genetically modified organisms is a practice still in its infancy. The long-term effects of this technology are yet to be seen, and thus we must proceed with caution as we develop our practices and guidelines.

D) Genetically modified organisms (GMO) refers to plants or crops that have been modified using molecular biology techniques. These plants are modified in labs or research centers with the intention of enhancing its desired traits such as pest resistance, enhancing nutrition, etc. E)

A) Embryonic stem cells can become all cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. Embryonic stem cells can be grown relatively easily in culture
