Clone Humans Dec 1998
496 wordsToday there are many scientist that want to clone humans and other organisms in order to make the world a better place. Scientist think that if they can clone other life forms, they will one day be able to make organized other such body parts for humans as stated in The Debate Over Cloning. The scientist believe that they can save people lives that are waiting for an organ on a waiting list. It would be a lot quicker and there body wouldnt reject the new organ because it would be made out of the...

Reproductive Cloning Therapeutic Cloning
1,052 wordsThe 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...

Ethical Implications Of Human Cloning
1,549 wordsCloning has been going on in the natural world for thousands of years. A clone is simply one living thing made from another, leading to two organisms with the same set of genes. In that sense, identical twins are clones, because they have identical DNA. Sometimes, plants are self-pollinated, producing seeds and eventually more plants with the same genetic code. When earthworms are cut in half, they regenerate the missing parts of their bodies, leading to two worms with the same set of genes. Any...

U S News Amp World Amp World Report
1,146 wordsCloning is the process of taking cells from a donor, placing them in a culture dish where the nutrients are minimal, so the cells stop dividing and switch their "active genes." The cells are then put next to an unfertilized egg. The nucleus is sucked out of the egg leaving an empty egg cell containing all the cellular machinery necessary to produce an embryo. An electric shock is used to fuse the egg and cell together. A second shock is then used to mimic the act of fertilization and help begin ...

Genetically Identical Identical Twins
1,390 wordsOf all the terms coined by scientists which have entered popular vocabulary, 'clone' has become one of the more emotive. Strictly speaking a clone refers to one or more offspring derived from a single ancestor, whose genetic composition is identical to that of the ancestor. No sex is involved in the production of clones, and since sex is the normal means by which new genetic material is introduced during procreation, clones have no choice but to have the same genes as their single parent. In the...

In a growing number of countries, their efforts toulon human children would be felonies punishable by imprisonment. It is considered that Human cloning is a crime against human dignity and humanity. It is believed to be a play with nature and its laws as well as a step toward the commodification and brutalization o...

Aspects Of Human Fertilized Egg
1,355 wordsThe 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 ...

U S News S News And World Report
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...

Wilmut And Dr Unicellular Organisms
2,092 wordsThe biological definition of a clone is an organism that has the same genetic information as another organism or organisms. Thus, an elaboration on the history, techniques, ethics, and reasons for researching the technology of cloning is necessary. A clone is an organism derived asexually from a single individual by cuttings, bulbs, tubers, fission, or parthenogenesis reproduction. Parthenogenesis reproduction is the development of an organism from an unfertilized ovum, seed or spore. Hence, clo...

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...

Wilmut And Dr Cystic Fibrosis
2,049 wordsThe 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 cuttings, bulbs, tubers, fission, or parthenogenesis reproduction (" Cloning" , 1997). Pathogenesis reproduction is the development of an organism from an unfertilized ovum, seed or spore (" Pathogenesis" , 1997). So cloning, biologically speaking, is any process in which production of a clone is successful. Therefore, the biolo...

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? The term clone refers to a group of organisms that are genetically identical. Most such clones result from asexual reproduction, a process in which a new organism develops from only one parent (World Book Encyclopedia). To give you a little history of cloning, it began a lo...

Maybe a few definitions will shed some light on the subject. ? Cloning is to create a genetic duplicate of an individual organism through asexual reproduction, as by stimulating a single cell? (Webster? s 211). ? Parthenogenesis is reproduction of organisms without conjunction of gametes of opposite sexes. ? (Webster? s 800). Cloning has its medical...

Clone A Human Number Of People
1,297 wordsPhilosophy: 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...

1,942 wordsHow could cloning save a species from going EXTINCT? It has been stated by many scientists, particularly those in the region of Japan, who believe that cloning could be used to save a species from extinction by cloning the dying members of the breed that is going extinct. However, this would pose several problems immediately. The most apparent is that cloning is indeed a long way off (although our extinction is supposedly farther in time). Although no one knows when cloning will develop into a f...

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Ban Human Cloning
1,939 wordsAccording to Webster s New World Dictionary (1990), a clone is all descendants derived asexually from a single organism. In layman terms a clone is an exact duplicate of another organism, therefore a human clone would be a perfect copy of another human being. According to the American Medical Association, the scientific name for cloning is somatic cell nuclear transfer, which means the nucleus of an existing organism is transferred into an oocyte from which the nucleus has been removed (AMA 1998...
