Wilmut And Dr Unicellular Organisms
1,428 words
The biological definition of a clone is an
organism that has the same genetic information as
another organism or organisms ("Cloning", 1997).
From this definition and from information about
the science behind cloning, my current view on
cloning is that it is ethical. This statement
ignores information about how we can misuse
cloning and what consequences occur when the
procedure is unsuccessful. I currently do not
think cloning should be used until it is
perfected. I doubt however that we will a...

What would you think if I gave you a drug and said
this is going to help you but I want you to know
ahead of time that 50 % of the dose is not
affected, in fact the drug is 50 % not pure. The
idea of that would make you feel you want another
drug. The reality of that is that a large # of
drugs we give are 50 % impure and the reason is b
/ c so many drugs we give are racemic mixtures, a
50: 50 mixture of enantiomer's. Most drugs that
demonstrate optical activity only one isomer is

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder marked by the
loss of contact with reality. Delusions,
hallucinations, irregular thinking or emotions are
the usual symptoms. About one hundred years ago
schizophrenia was first recognized as a mental

still unknown and scientists are certain that
schizophrenia has more than one cause. Scientists
have developed dozens of theories to explain what
causes this disease...

ethical issue of abortion: when should a foetus

way that we experience the workings of our brain

infinite regressions. That the soul is an

Cloning Of Animals Enucleated Egg
967 words
What is a Clone? 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 material, such as mitochondria and
chloroplasts. Some of these structures, called
plasmids, are found in some bacteria and yeasts.
Techniques of genetic engineering enable
scientists to combi...

How much longer until the designer baby is born?
Not so long ago cloning of a human was merely a
science fiction. As for me, not so long ago Ive
read a book (science fiction), which described the
lives of people in future, somewhere in 2240. This
book described a human race as a race in which
children are modified before their birth according
to the tastes of their parents. Author pointed
that such modification was not always good for a
child. As for me, it was rather creepy to read.

Brave New World Social Control

BRAVE NEW WORLD BRAVE New World was published in
1932. It is a remarkable piece of science fiction
for both its time and our own. It seems to
withstand the intervening 65 years, primarily
because of its depiction of a tightly controlled,
rigidly stratified homogenous society. Issues of
social control are as relevant today as in 1932,
perhaps more so. Reproductive technology plays a
key role in the social control of Brave New World.
Reproduction takes place in a Hatchery. Excised

CLONING: HAS SCIENCE GONE TOO FAR? INTRODUCTION
For years the subject of cloning has captured the
imaginations of authors, movie directors and much
of the human population. Cloning is the prospect
of creating an animal or even a person that is
genetically identical to its parent. Until
recently the subject seemed farfetched and
fictional, because no one really realized how
close we had actually advanced in cloning
research. It was during February of 1997 that an
embryologist, Dr. Ian Wilmut, ann...

Mary Shelleys Frankenstein Cloning Of Humans

The process of cloning is the process of using the
genes of a being to create another being
genetically identical to it. Cloning technology
has been called the forbidden fruit of biology
(Begley 54). For years, scientists have been
trying to perfect the cloning technique. In
Scotland, scientists at the Roslin Institute have
finally succeeded. Their success comes in the form
of a Finn Dorset ewe named Dolly. Dolly is a
clone. Now that the cloning of mammals from body
cells has been accomplished, ...

Have you ever heard anyone make a statement
similar to this one, Everyone has an identical
twin somewhere in the world. Well, ever since most
of us have been young, we can recall hearing this
at least once or twice. The one thing to be
questioned here is, Could it be true? As of now,
there is no proof that it is true, but if science
keeps advancing as it has been, then in a very
short period of time, this could be a true
statement. The way this would happen would be
through the new technology of...

Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder that is
characterized by a variety of symptoms and the
disorganization of feeling and thought. It is an
incurable disease whose causes are unknown, yet
whose effects are mind and body crippling. (Young,
1988, p. 13 - 14) This topic was chosen because it
is interesting to study a disorder that worldwide,
is viewed as a classic example of madness and
insanity. Another reason of interest is because
