On 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...

... ng. This issue is to the point where President
Bill Clinton banned human cloning. As mentioned in
Silberner's article, President Clinton said on
this: "we must ratify the ethical consensus of the
scientific and religious communities, and ban the
cloning of human being" (2). While government is
trying to draw the line, single individuals keep
focusing their efforts in clone human beings. For
example, "Seed is a physicist by education who
developed a no-longer-used technique for human
embryo t...

invention of electricity to the development of the
Internet, these advances have made a huge impact
on society. Every day brings the question of what
will come next, and what technologies will further
enhance the world. Science fiction novels and
movies are essentially based on the wonder of
future technologies. One of the biggest issues in
the development of technology is cloning. The word

Reproductive Cloning Therapeutic Cloning
1,052 words
The issues concerning human reproductive cloning
are shrouded in controversy, perhaps overshadowing
the true advantages of cloning technology.
Therapeutic cloning, which is often misunderstood
as reproductive cloning, is less controversial
than the latter as it does not involve the
creating of an individual being. Instead, vital
stem cells are extracted from human embryos, in
order to generate tissues and organs for
transplant. The goal of this process is strictly
to harvest stem cells, resultin...

Cloning Individualistic And Communitarian View
1,648 words
In many controversial topics around the world,
such as abortion, gun control, legalized drugs,
the death penalty, and cloning (to name a few), we
can find differing positions, and opinions. Many
of these arguments, can be narrowed down to two
different views, or constructs: individualistic
and communitarian (an image of collectivism). An
individualistic viewpoint "stresses the rights of
the individual as a unique being" (class review).
A communitarian viewpoint is more concerned with
the good fo...

In the article that I chose there are two opposing
viewpoints on the issue of "Should Human Cloning
Ever Be Permitted?" John A. Robertson is an
attorney who argues that there are many potential
benefits of cloning and that a ban on privately
funded cloning research is unjustified and that
this type of research should only be regulated. On
the flip side of this issue Attorney and medical
ethicist George J. Annas argues that cloning
devalues people by depriving them of their
uniqueness and that a ...

In the near future, we will have to face the fact
that the course of science will always win and
inevitability cloning of human or at least the
cloning of organs will be performed. The question
is is cloning human beings acceptable and where do
we draw the line? Cloning has sparked
controversies over the past few years. With the
race to map the DNA and its completion, it has
steered up the imagination of our society of what
to come. In this paper, we will discus how the

Regulating Human Cloning In The Future
909 words
The cloning of human beings has been an issue that
many people believe strongly in. The cloning of
animals such as cows and sheep have already been
successful, and many people think that the cloning
of human beings is just the next step. This,
however, has not gone over well with the
government of the United States. Recently, a
hearing has been underway to decide whether
cloning should be legal in the United States. In
fact, President George W. Bush has said that he
will do everything possible t...

Embryo Cloning Genetic Determinism

The news about the successful cloning of an adult
sheep, in which the sheep's DNA was inserted into
a fertilized sheep egg to produce a lamb with
identical DNA, has generated an outpouring of
ethical concerns. These concerns are not about
Dolly, the first cloned mammal, nor even about the
considerable impact cloning may have on the animal
breeding industry. Theyre about the possibility of
cloning humans. For the most part, however, the
ethical concerns being raised are exaggerated and
misplaced....

"To be or not to be... " In the last fifty years
new forms of technology have been the center of
attention for every human being. It seems that
every day scientists come up with some new,
perhaps even controversial, and exciting ways to
improve the quality of life. These new
technologies affect every aspect of life, as we
know it. One such technology is the research being
done in the area of cloning. Cloning is the
production of one or more cells, individual
plants, or animals that are genetical...

? To Clone, Or Not To Clone? ? Did you ever
imagine having a child that is the exact replica
of you? Did you ever imagine of having the cure
for heart disease or cancer? Well, these fantasies
are not far from reach. The way we could reach
these fantasies is through a process called
cloning. Cloning is the replication of an exact
genetic copy of an organism by use of a somatic
tissue (or cell) from the donor organism. Cloning
can be used in humans, human organs, or even
animals. There are many ad...

The issue of Cloning Cloning The issue of cloning
has always been around in our everyday lives.
Cloning was common in movies such a as Jurassic
Park and The Lost World, where cloning seemed to
be an idea of fantasy and not reality. The idea
that scientist could just take a little DNA from a
dead mosquito and turn it into something that
could tower over a skyscraper was very intriguing
to most people. On the other hand, there were
movies such as Alien Resurrection, in which
cloning was necessary ...

Should Human Cloning be Legal? Cloning captured
the publics attention when Scottish scientists
startled the world in July of 1996 when they
announced the birth of a sheep named Dolly which
they had cloned from the nucleus of an adult
mammary cell and a sheep egg. Ever since this
spectacular event occurred people have been
thinking about the possibility of cloning humans.

Cystic Fibrosis Enucleated Egg
2,092 words
The first thing that must be cleared up is what is
cloning, and what is a clone. A clone is an
organism derived asexually from a single
individual by cutting, bulbs, tubers, fission or
parthenogenesis reproduction. Parthenogenesis
reproduction is the development of an organism
from an unfertilized ovum, seed or a spore. Hence,
cloning, biologically speaking, is any process in
which production of a clone is successful. Thus,
the biological term cloning is the production of
genetically identical d...

When one thinks of cloning, what comes to mind?
Movies such as? Multiplicity? can give the
layperson a much-distorted image of cloning. In
this particular movie, actor Michael Keaton plays
a father who cannot handle his crazily busy
lifestyle. In an effort to be the perfect father,
husband and employee, he has himself cloned easily
at a nearby medical center. The three clones each
have their own personality: one is sarcastic and

Clone A Human Number Of People

Philosophy: The Ethics of Human Cloning In order
to make a fully justified decision on whether
human cloning is ethical or not, one must be
exposed to the background of the subject. To
start, a clone is an exact replica of an organism,
cell, or gene. The process itself is done
asexually with the use of a cell from the original
human. It is then placed inside a female capable
of bearing a child and is then born as a clone.
Along with this comes questions of whether or not
it is right to clone a h...

Cloning Of Human Vitro Fertilization

Biotechnology has made great improvements within
the last few decades. There has been much hoopla
recently about one major improvement in
particular, gene therapy. Although it has brought
us wonderful new practices such as in-vitro
fertilization, there still seems to be a great
deal of scandal concerning how far scientists with
go in their quest to control natural selection.

experiment that has not only the science world,

Ban On Human Cloning Manipulation Of Human

The discovery of cloning can be both beneficial
and harmful to society. There are many reasonable
methods of cloning. For instance, the use of
cloning for medical purposes can be helpful in
taking human DNA and creating new body parts.
Because of the shortage of donors, this could
become a valuable asset to our society. Cloning of
human body parts can also be harmful if it gets
into the wrong hands. Cloning should be controlled
by the government to the extent there is no
possible way it will be ...
