Current Issues And Enduring Questions University Of Texas
1,233 wordsOn February 22, 1999 news was announced that Dolly the lamb was the first successful animal cloned. Unlike the other cloning experiments done over the past 15 years, this was the first successful clone made with an adult cell. The cell was used to activate and program the egg from which Dolly grew. Past clones involved using the cell from a fertilized embryo in the early stages of development. As news of Ian Willmut's cloned lamb got out across the globe, many people feared what they thought cou...

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...

Manipulation Of Human Form Of Racism
958 wordsAfter reading an essay entitled Is it right to clone a human? , I felt like I should give some information along with a more realistic view on the topic. This essay, written by Charlie Cho, is about the new technology of cloning and gives a lot of misconceptions as reasons to ban its research and future use forever. The essay makes many clear points as to why we should ban cloning. Cho states that we would be unable to decide whom these people belong to and if we use them for organ donation, wha...

Cystic Fibrosis Vitro Fertilization
1,029 words... y let this zygote grow into an embryo, and then transplanted the embryo in a recipient ewe, acting as a surrogate mother. This procedure occurred late in January of 1996. 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...

Stacie McBain was recently diagnosed with cancer at the age of 20. Doctors told her that the treatment she would undergo will ultimately leave her infertile. In light of this devastating news was an experimental procedure that had given Stacie the chance to become a mother.

Morality Of Cloning Vitro Fertilization
1,344 wordsMorality of Cloning Today biological science is rising on a wall of worry. No other science has advanced more during the past several decades or yielded so many palpable improvements in human welfare. Yet none except nuclear physics has aroused greater apprehensions among the general public and leaders in such diverse fields as religion, the humanities, and government. There is much discussion going on about the morality of cloning. It is undecided whether human cloning should be left to individ...

Animal Rights Activists Ethical Treatment Of Animals
1,943 wordsArgument Research Paper Animal experimentation has been practiced for centuries to further our knowledge of the workings of the human body and to find cures for diseases (Chang 1998, p. 1). There is much contention in regard to animal testing despite its longtime practice in the United States and beyond, however, and both sides have compelling arguments to support their beliefs. Is animal testing truly a valuable tool in advancing medical research? Or is animal experimentation inhumane and archa...

Vitro Fertilization Genetically Identical
1,266 wordsCloning, Cloning Clones Clones Cloning, the process of creating a copy of a plant or animal that is genetically identical to the original through asexual means, has sparked some interesting moral and ethical debate. For years, cloning has been used to produce a greater number of a specific type of plant, such as the Macintosh apple trees, which have all been derived from single mutated plant. Now, however, upon the discovery of a method to clone animals, even humans, people are beginning to beco...

3,100 wordsShortly after the announcement that British scientists had successfully cloned a sheep, Dolly, cloning humans has recently become a possibility that seems much more feasible in todays society. The word clone has been applied to cells as well as to organisms, so that a group of cells stemming from a single cell is also called a clone. Usually the members of a clone are identical in their inherited characteristics that is, in their genes except for any differences caused by mutation. Identical twi...

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Clone Human Beings
1,620 wordsThe news of the successful cloning of an adult sheep-in which the sheep's DNA was inserted into an unfertilized sheep egg to produce a lamb with identical DNA-has generated an outpouring of ethical concerns. These concerns are not about Dolly, the now famous sheep, nor even about the considerable impact cloning may have on the animal breeding industry, but rather about the possibility of cloning humans. For the most part, however, the ethical concerns being raised are exaggerated and misplaced, ...

871 wordsTo clone or not to clone, that is the question. If Shakespeare were alive today, he might well have used this phrase instead of the one he chose for his play Hamlet. The question is an important one because Dr. Ian Wilmut, an embryologist from Scotland, recently stunned the world by declaring that he had cloned a lamb from the DNA of a ewe. Since the technique he used may possibly be reproduced to clone a human someday, the public outcry has been considerable, as has the question of whether our ...

Are researchers taking many unnecessary risks with all the unknown affects it could bring to the human clone and the ethics of our society today?

Vitro Fertilization Making Decisions
1,354 wordsThe practice of cloning can be used to benefit society and therefore should be legalized. Ever since the cloning of the first adult sheep, Dolly, the idea of cloning has become a major issue and the subject of many debates. Many people are afraid of the idea of cloning because it is new and misunderstood. There is the notion that a clone would not be the same as any other person, but a clone is just a normal person, created with and having the same genes as the person being cloned. A clone will ...

Toxic Shock Syndrome Surrogate Motherhood
1,578 wordsThe thesis of this 10 page paper is that there is a medical necessity for the legal use of marijuana. There is significant evidence that supports the benefits of THC, a chemical found in marijuana, is beneficial for sufferers of cancer, AIDS and glaucoma. Though THC is available in tablet form, many seriously ill patients cannot take the oral medication, and many complain that the pill is ineffective. If the use of marijuana can significantly reduce the suffering of severely ill individuals, it ...

Vitro Fertilization Brain Dead
458 wordsEugenics. The word strikes fear in the hearts of many. Visions of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, along with memories of Nazi experimentation and the Lynchburg sterilization colonies in the United States, cause many to dismiss the idea of cloning immediately. However, in reality, cloning has nothing to do with eugenics or genetic engineering. Cloning is the duplication of genetic material without any alteration. Germ line therapy, however, involves changing the material for a specific purpose. ...
