Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Vitro Fertilization
781 wordsCloning and the United States Government On February 24, 1997 Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland announced that scientists had cloned an adult mammal for the first time. These researchers removed a nucleus from a mammary gland of a sheep and implanted the nucleus into a sheep's egg with the egg's nucleus already removed. This embryo was then inserted into a surrogate sheep's uterus. This procedure is called somatic cell nuclear transfer cloning. This process could have a great impact in med...

Pros And Cons Nerve Tissue
1,144 wordsCloning has many more advantages than disadvantages. The definition of cloning is to duplicate an organism. Through cloning, you could help thousands of people and animals. Cloning can totally reduce organ donor lists. Cloning can also bring back endangered species. Advanced cloning is going to happen, just as long as somebody can fund it, says Dr. Esterverks, a biology teacher at Nantucket High School. This quote almost makes cloning undebatable because cloning appears to be inevitable. Debatin...

Fertilized Egg Single Clones
241 wordsOf 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. In the s...
