Conviction To Clone Humans
2,212 wordsThe Cloning War: Moral or Immoral Outside the lab where the cloning had actually taken place, most of us thought it could never happen. Oh we would say that perhaps at some point in the distant future, cloning might become feasible through the use of sophisticated biotechnologies far beyond those available to us now. But what we really believed, deep in our hearts, was that this was one biological feat we could never master. -Dr. Lee M. Silver, 1997 With every revolution, there must be conflict....

First Cloned Humans
1,129 wordsIs the Technology of Today Ready to Create Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein"? When the novel "Frankenstein", by Mary Shelley came out in 1831 the general public was introduced to the idea of man creating another man, scientifically without the use of reproduction. The disasters that followed, in the novel, demonstrated the horrid fact that creating humans was not natural. That was in 1831, when the knowledge of science had not yet evolved enough to act on such an idea. Now as the start of a new mill...

Clone Wilmut
1,785 wordsImagine if a new procedure were developed that could lead not only to a cure for cancer, but would provide an unlimited source of organ donors and could lead to the first effective treatment of nerve damage. Now adding to this scenario, imagine our government was taking action to ban this new procedure because of a few myths and exaggerations. This scenario is true and is taking place with human cloning at this very moment. If action is not taken, this crowning achievement of medical science cou...

Genetic Engineering Scientists
1,045 wordsGENETIC ENGINEERING Scientists are trying to figure out the entire three billion-letter human genome with high precision as a prelude to figuring out eventually what protein each gene produces and for what purpose. It all started in 1866 when Austrian botanist and monk Gregor Mendel proposed basic laws of heredity based on crossbreeding experiments with pea plants. His findings, published in a local natural-history journal, were largely ignored for more than thirty years. In 1910 U.S. biologist ...

Risks Of Human Cloning Outweigh The Benefits
1,780 wordsTechnology has been a fundamental aid to humanity almost since the beginning of our species. At the earliest period of human life not one but three separate species shared this planet and the taxonomic classification of the Homo genus. (Hominid) For thousands of years Homo Erectus, Homo Neanderthalensis, and the more intellectually advanced of the three, Homo Sapiens, coexisted in a constantly conflicting but stable relationship. Until, quite suddenly 100,000 years ago Homo Erectus disappeared f...

Human Cloning Will Work
1,470 wordsAndre SzyszkowskiPsy 13004/28/05 Cloning: Choice is Ethical Thousands of people a year are placed on the organ donor's list. Thousands of people a year are diagnosed with diseases that are dubbed fatal unless a transplant or transfusion is given. This has created a large demand for some alternative method to the present donor practice. Research in the 'taboo's cience of cloning seems to provide a viable method in which to aid the problem aforementioned and many others as well. But is it ethical?...

Failures To Clone A Human Being
1,462 words"Those who made the atomic bomb went ahead in spite of knowing about it's terrible destruction, But this doesn't mean that it was the best choice for humanity". - Bishop Elio Sgreccia (web) The idea that one person could be reproduced to be an exact replica of another, all the way down to the genetic code, is preposterous right? Wrong. Cloning is here, it's been here and it will be here for a long time. Scientists have been trying for years to understand genetics more, and when they cloned the f...

Clones
1,961 wordsEven since a little lamb came forward saying that cloning of mammals is possible the world has been in a state of bewilderment. This means that if cloning a sheep is possible, how far away are humans Is there a new generation of Dr. Frankenstein's coming I hope to answer this question, the process of cloning, the positive and negative aspects, ethical aspects, and an authors view of cloning all the way back from the 1940's. The basics however, are the first part. The process of cloning is involv...

Individual Clone
773 wordsCloning Bioethics, which is the study of value judgments pertaining to human conduct in the area of biology and includes those related to the practice of medicine, has been an important aspect of all areas in the scientific field (Bernstein, Maurice, M.D. ). It is one of the factors that says whether or not specific scientific research can go on, and if it can, by which rules, regulations and guidelines it must abide by. One of the most recent and controversial issues facing our society today is...

Ewe And An Early Egg Cell
1,352 wordsIn Case You Were Sleeping On June 22nd 1999, the world was changed in such a radical way that it will never be the same. A group of Scottish scientists from the Roslin Institute did the impossible and created the world's first genetic clone, a sheep named Dolly. She was an exact replica of her mother's nucleic DNA, but the most incredible part was that Dolly's DNA came from her mother's udder, not a haploid sex cell. What Makes This So Special What happened with Dolly is even different from the ...

Cloning Of Humans And Nuclear Cell Fusion
1,268 wordsThe new breakthrough of cloning is a great advance in biotechnology. The use of cloning can be both beneficial and harmful to society. There are many reasonable ways to use the methods of cloning. For instance, the use for medical purposes can be helpful in cases such as producing animals with human body systems that could be used for transplanting organs. It can be a valuable asset to our society in that way. It can be harmful if it is opened for use in the general public because it could cause...

Two Celled Embryo
1,123 words: Human cloning -- a controversy When the personalities of two individuals seem impeccably compatible, people often say in jest that they are "made from the same mold". With the recent scientific breakthroughs and the technology that make them possible, this abstract clich'e is becoming more plausible. The fast growing pace of scientific discoveries, such as human cloning, forces our society to finally open its eyes and accept the new and astonishing possibilities. Human cloning not only advance...

Scientists And Genetic Engineers
3,724 wordsINTRODUCTION I chose to do my report on cloning, or genetic engineering. Cloning is the technique of producing a genetically identical duplicate of an organism by replacing the nucleus of an unfertilized ovum with the nucleus of a body cell from the organism. Some people agree with this type of reproduction, where others do not agree with it and wish that it could be banned. Genetic engineering was first originated in the late 1960's and early 1970's. But the first experiments were not performed...

Clone Her Own Organ
1,426 wordsCloning is the creation of an exact copy of a living organism from a single cell, using an asexual reproduction where the organism inherits the genetic al characteristics from the parent who donated the cell. For years, scientists believed human cloning would never be possible but due to the success of cloning animals and more recently human beings, yesterday's science fiction is now today's reality. The development of cloning technology can bring numerous advantages and provide endless opportun...

Clone An Animal From The Cell
2,988 wordsCloning Of all the terms coined by scientists which have entered popular vocabulary, 'clone' has become one of the more emotive. Strictly speaking a clone refers to one or more offspring derived from a single ancestor, whose genetic composition is identical to that of the ancestor. No sex is involved in the production of clones, and since sex is the normal means by which new genetic material is introduced during procreation, clones have no choice but to have the same genes as their single parent...
