1. Therapeutic cloning
Therapeutic cloning (embryo cloning ) is the
production of human embryos for research
purposes.
They are used to harvest stem cells that are used
in human development research and potentially
in the treatment of many diseases.

2. Reproductive cloning
Reproductive cloning is used to create an animal that has
the same DNA as another animal.
The famous Dolly the sheep was the first animal created
by reproductive cloning.

3. Recombinant DNA
Is a form of artificial DNA that is created by
combining two or more sequences that would not
normally occur together through the process of
gene splicing.
In terms of genetic modification, it is created
through the introduction of relevant DNA into
an existing
organismal DNA, such as the plasmids of
bacteria

4. DNA Cloning
Transfer of a DNA fragment of interest from one
organism to a self-replicating genetic element
such as a bacterial plasmid.
Plasmids self-replicating extra-chromosomal
circular DNA molecules, distinct from normal
bacterial genome

DISADVANTAGE OF CLONING
There are ethical issues all the way along in biotechnology because
human beings are capable of manipulating life as never before.
Stem cell research raises the issue of where life begins and whether
cells from a human embryo should be used for another human’s
benefit.
Present stem cell work concentrates on making regenerative cells
for the cure of diseases.
But the possibility of cloning whole human beings has to be
considered.
Dolly was cloned from a stem cell
