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 ...

Embryo Cloning Genetic Determinism
1,165 wordsThe 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....

Genetic Diversity Animal Cruelty
688 wordsIn order to strongly argue against cloning, there must be an understanding of its process and what exactly it is. Simply stated, a clone is a duplicate just like a photocopy. A good example of such "copies" that occur are identical twins, which are duplicates of each other. "The first step of DNA cloning is to isolate a complete gene and is to chromosomal sequences and then to gradually begin flaking the chromosomal sequences of a single DAN molecule. Then the DNA clone can be electronically lab...

Psychological Egoism Human Nature
