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

This could be argued against by saying that, in case of economic hardships, or instance, the damage to the Mother's future is certain. Her value filled, meaningful future is granted - and so is the detrimental effect that the foetus will have on it, once born. This certainty cannot be balanced by the UNCERTAIN value-filled future life of the embryo. Always, preferring an uncertain good to a certain evil is morally wrong. But surely this i...

These commentators argue, therefore, that making use of artificially created embryos for research would not result in the destruction of a greater portion of those embryos than might have died in natural unassisted reproduction... Moreover, they suggest, the high rate of natural embryo loss should bring into question the views of those who believe that early stage human embryos merit equal treatment with human children and adults. If so many die in the nat...

Embryonic Stem Cells Stem Cell Research
1,323 wordsThere are many controversies over whether stem cells should be studied, but before I discuss that topic lets discuss what a stem cell actually is. Stem cells are cells that can basically form into any type of cell, they are found in bone marrow, embryos, fetuses, and blood from the umbilical cord. Early in development, a human embryo is made up of a hollow ball of cells called a "blastocyst." Blastocyst cells divide and eventually develop into all of the tissues and organs of a human being, a pr...

Type Of Cloning Desirable Traits
1,048 wordsGenetic engineering is the changing of an organism's DNA, genetic material to eliminate unwanted traits or to produce desirable traits. The earliest form of genetic engineering dates back to the scientist Gregor Mendel who did experiments with peas. He bred only the peas with the most desirable traits in order to achieve a healthier and stronger pea (McCuen 8). This method, called selective breeding, is still used today with plants and animals in order to increase food production. Corn plants ar...

2,196 wordsEthics Moral Position Description Stem Cell Research contributes greatly to our understanding of human biology. However, it is not possible for one to predict the outcome from basic research. Still, the studies will offer some possibilities for treatments and for cures for many diseases in which therapy will not work. I feel that stem cell research is necessary to have in order to discover cures and medicine for known and unknown diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, diabetes, heart disease...

Process Of Cloning One Of The Largest
1,198 wordsCloning A few years ago if you were to ask someone about the possibilities of cloning they would most likely say it was impossible. This attitude towards cloning has been held into belief up until recently when scientists in Scotland cloned a sheep. And immediately after scientists in Oregon cloned a monkey (Fackelmann 276). The most major breakthroughs of the century in science has occurred and we are not ready for it. The scientific breakthrough of cloning has caused a great deal of controvers...

864 wordsIntroduction: What is Cloning CLONING Introduction: What is Cloning? Cloning is the production of an exact genetic duplicate of a living organism. Clones are created from an unfertilized egg and a donor cell. Two different procedures have been referred to as cloning: ? Embryo cloning involves removing one or more cells from an embryo and encouraging the cell to develop into a separate embryo with the same DNA as the original. ? Adult DNA cloning involves removing the DNA from an embryo and repla...

Through cloning we might eventually be able to find cures for cancer, AIDS, or other genetic or life-threatening diseases. We might also be able to prevent heart attacks or strokes. We may also be able to correct peristalsis, which has paralyzed many including Christopher Reeves. When scientists finally finish mapping the human genom...
