CyberDodo and Clones (1-4)

What is the basis for all cloning? 2/2

The answer is found in 3 letters: DNA for deoxyribonucleic acid! DNA is a molecule containing all the information that will guarantee the development and proper operation of a body. DNA is the book of life.

DNA has a double helix, spiral shape, like a ladder that spins on itself. DNA is the main component of chromosomes constituting our genetic inheritance.

For numerous species, including man, their genetic inheritance comes from both of their parents, each one is therefore unique, as the combination is always different (Except in the case of true twins, as we have already seen).

Artificial cloning (done by man) therefore consists of making a direct copy of this information, with no mixing, to reproduce the same body.

Is there an international treaty forbidding the uncontrolled spread of cloning?

The short answer is no.

A more detailed answer is found in the United Nations Universal Declaration on the human genome and the rights of man, adopted in 1997, and you can find the full text on the pages below.

This treaty clearly specifies the challenges involved in cloning and all the forms of genetic manipulation, giving guidelines on each issue raised.
