Asked by FiRE_MaN (684points) May 10th, 2008

I have to write a 5 page paper for biology. I need my first draft by tuesday and i only have one page, bearly .My topic I am writing on is cloning. The first paragraph is basically what cloning is and some examples of plants and animals that can clone themselves. The 2nd is soppose to be the history of cloneing. I have an outline:
I. What is a clone
A. A clone is a member of a population of genetically identical organisms produced from a single cell.

II. History of cloning
A. Gregor Mendel
1. Carried out simple experiments looking for hereditary patterns
2. Used peas and worked out the ground rules of heredity.
B. Charles Darwin
1. Pondered the huge complexities and confusions of heredity.
2. Mendel’s ideas of heredity with Darwin’s concept of evolution we have two thirds of the basic theory of all modern biology.
C. First cells cloned
D. First animal cloned

III. Current state
A. Animals being cloned today
B. Plants being cloned

IV. Future uses
A. Will humans ever be cloned?

V. Ethics
A. If humans are ever cloned, will they be discriminated against?
B. Should we even attempt to clone humans?
C. If we clone the elite humans, will they take over the world?
D. Would they be considered different then natural born humans?
1. If so where would they fit in our classification of animals that we have today?

So any suggestions would be wonderful. Thanks
