Oral REPORT Cloning
Introduction
Thier has been possible talk about human clonning raised by a Scotish scientist at Roslin Institute that aroused a worldwide interest and concern because of the scientific and ethical implications. The word clonning is actually and unbrella term traditionally used by scientist to describe a different process of duplicating.
Three different kinds of clonning: Recombinant DNA, Reproductive clonning, and Therapuetic clonning. Clonning technologies can be used in different ways it can be used in Recombinant DNA and Gene Therapy. Thier also have been many animals that have been cloned the first animal was clonned in 1952 and it was a tadpole. Large animals have been clonned as well lkie sheep, goats, cows, mice, pigs, rabbits and a guar.
Clonning can also be used for transplants scientists one day hope that therapuetic clonning can be used to generate tissues and organs for transplants. This process needs help of DNA that would be extracted from a person in need of a transplant and inserted into an enucleated egg.
Thier are also some risks of clonning Reproductive clonning is expensive and highly ineficent. More than 90% of clonning attempts have failed to produce viable offspring. More than 100 nuclear transfer producers could be required to produce one viable clone. In addition to low success rates, cloned animals tend to have more compromissed immune function and also higher rates of infection, tumor growth, and other disorders.
Thier is also major reports about clonning in the news.

Scott, posting links to actual stories would be very helpful to a reader who wants more information. Simply stating that you got the information from an undated, unnamed article is only of limited use. The way you broke it down for us does help makes sense of a complex issue.
