Cystic Fibrosis Vitro Fertilization

This was the day of fusion date for Dolly, which is the natural equivalent to a conception date. An interesting note is that three different sheep were involved in producing Dolly, versus the usual two or one (in-vitro fertilization). Furthermore, the Roslin scientists used three different breeds for each sheep to prove tha...

The Threat Of Mad Cow Disease In America
1,135 words... y products like milk? Although it is rarely mentioned, infectious prions can be contained in milk, although it remains a rare chance.

Wilmut And Dr Cystic Fibrosis
2,891 wordsThe 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 all...
