영문 초록 In ever since Dolly the sheep was famously cloned more than two years ago, the controversy over research on human cloning takes top headline news everywhere. It sparked a worldwide debate over the moral and medical implications of cloning. The first cloning experiments, beginning in the 1890s, were exercises in artificial twinning. Ever since biologists developed technique by splitting the embryos of sea urchins, frogs, salamanders, fish and other animals, they could produce additional embryos that would develop into small but otherwise normal larvae. However for the first half of the twentieth century no one had any way of cloning. Then in 1952 there was a breakthrough. Robert Briggs and Thomas J. King in Philadelphia published a paper describing a way of transfer nucleus from an unfertilized egg cell and replacing it with a nucleus taken from another cell. However, cloning mammals remained out of reach until the early 1980s, when developmental biologists James McGrath and Davor Solter in Philadelphia cloned mice by fusing donor cells with mouse eggs. The method, with some modifications, has become the prototype for transplanting nuclei in mammals. Cloning of adult cells was performed by Wilmut and his coworkers at Roslin Institute, Edinburgh in 1997. dolly is the first living proof that a differentiated adult cell can revert to undifferentiated embryonic stage and produce a full new being. Till now, sheep in England, cows in Japan, New Zealand, and Korea, and mouse in U.S.A. are cloned. However, these achievements are shaking the whole world. Ethicists and lawmakers have been struggling with the implications of this research. Several countries including our country have banned the cloning of human beings, yet a team of scientists in Korea claimed last December that they had already taken the first step. This article will briefly review a history of several cloning experiments and current trends of legal regulations of human cloning in the world.
