Possible To Clone An Animal
870 wordsCloning Is cloning ethical the majority of the world would say no but the medical research possibilities associated with it are endless. In 1997 when Dolly the lamb was born we began to think, wow if it's possible to clone an animal why not a human in the future It soon became known that it was possible and people were horrified at the thought of an organism being created by a human being. 90% of Americans polled within the first week that the Dolly news broke, thought that cloning should be ban...

First Cloned Humans
899 wordsCLONING Introduction: What is Cloning Cloning is the production of an exact genetic duplicate of a living organism. Clones are created from an unfertilized egg and a donor cell. Two different procedures have been referred to as "cloning": Embryo cloning involves removing one or more cells from an embryo and encouraging the cell to develop into a separate embryo with the same DNA as the original. Adult DNA cloning involves removing the DNA from an embryo and replacing it with the DNA from another...

First Cloned Calf
957 wordsCow Cloning Cloning has been the main topic in the news lately. Due to the success of sheep cloning with Dolly, scientist have been encouraged to experiment with other species which had led to producing Gene, the first cloned calf. Cloning is the somatic nuclear transfer. It has been used for many years but until now, cloning has not been found to be able to take a full grow adult cow and make it have a calf with the same DNA. This report will inform of the recent studies of cow cloning. It will...

Animal Clones
1,356 wordsCloning The issue of cloning has always been around in our everyday lives. Cloning was common in movies such a as Jurassic Park and The Lost World, where cloning seemed to be an idea of fantasy and not reality. The idea that scientist could just take a little DNA from a dead mosquito and turn it into something that could tower over a skyscraper was very intriguing to most people. On the other hand, there were movies such as Alien Resurrection, in which cloning was necessary in order to save live...

Adult Stem Cell Research
984 wordsIn his 1930's futuristic novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley predicted a society where the human race was created in a laboratory and carried to term in incubators. At the time it was regarded as being ludicrously impossible. The idea of cloning in the eighties required multiple reproductions of specialized cells. Even then, the possibility of cloning was unachievable. Recently, scientists cloned a lamb, simply by replicating the cell in the skin tissue. It is now happening in all parts of the...

Clones Of Cells Inside An Organism
2,761 wordsGenetic Engineering: Cloning Genetic Engineering is defined as the scientific alteration of the structure of genetic material in a living organism, which involves the production and use of recombinant DNA. A clone is a group of genetically identical cells. For example, tumors are clones of cells inside an organism because they consist of many replicas of one mutated cell. Another type of clone occurs inside a cell. Such a clone is made up of groups of identical structures that contain genetic ma...

In 1993, Dr. Jerry Hall and Dr. Robert Stillman, infertility researchers at George Washington University, successfully split a human zygote into two separate zygotes with the same genetic makeup, essentially the same process that occurs naturally with identical twins. They had created a clone, a second individual with the exact genetic blueprint of the first. Hall and Stillman didn't have the technology to ...

Of The Cloned Embryos
1,079 wordsFollowing surprising claims this week by South Korean researchers that they cloned an embryo from the cell of a 30-year-old woman, scientists and ethicists said cloning of humans, while controversial, is likely to be achieved sometime soon. "The question isn't whether they did it or not, but whether there is any scientific reason to believe any top human fertility expert can't try and even succeed in cloning a human", said Randall Prather, an animal embryo researcher at the University of Missour...
