Wilmut And Dr Unicellular Organisms
1,428 words
The 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 a...

Genetic Engineering Right Or Wrong
1,272 words
Genetic engineering has been one of the most
controversial ethical issues since 1997; when
Dolly the first successfully cloned sheep was

up. This experiment was not only impossible but
unthinkable. Yet, Dr. Ian Wilmut revealed Dolly on
February 23, 1997, at seven months old (Travis 1).
