This document provides an overview of cloning techniques and issues. It discusses that clones are exact genetic copies and describes two cloning techniques: artificial embryo twinning which mimics natural twinning, and somatic cell nuclear transfer which produces identical embryos. It notes therapeutic cloning aims to produce stem cells from cloned embryos while reproductive cloning aims to create a human copy. The document outlines some potential uses like medicine and livestock but also risks like failure rates and abnormal development. It closes by mentioning some ethical issues around human control and genetic makeup.

REPRODUCTIVE CLONING A copy of another human being is created through SCNT, allowed to grow up to 14 days in a petri dish, and then transplanted into a womb to grow until birth THERAPEUTIC CLONING When cloned embryos created through SCNT are allowed to grow for a few days and then killed for their stem cells
