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...

Genetic Diversity Playing God
536 wordsCloning can be defined as the production of a group of genetically identical cells or organisms, derived from a single individual. Those who support this procedure of making humans contend that it will help people who are finding it difficult to conceive. Others charge that cloning is good and sound science that will lead to many scientific discoveries - some of which might help in the cure of diseases like Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and diabetes. Cloning sounds like a great idea with many promisin...

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. ...
