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...

Ego Ideal Conscious Mind
938 wordsFreud didn't exactly invent the idea of the conscious versus unconscious mind, but he certainly was responsible for making it popular. The conscious mind is what you are aware of at any particular moment, your present perceptions, memories, thoughts, fantasies, feelings, etc. Working closely with the conscious mind is what Freud called the preconscious, what we might today call "available memory: " anything that can easily be made conscious, the memories you are not at the moment thinking about ...

Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Gases
827 wordsCarbon dioxide is a gas comprising less than 0. 04 % of the atmosphere. It is used by plants to make, directly or indirectly, all of the food that we eat. Increases in the concentration of carbon dioxide generally increase the growth rate of plants and decrease their water use. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing, mostly as a result of burning of coal, oil, gas and forests. Its concentration may double by the end of the next century. Carbon dioxide also significan...

Evolution By Natural Theory Of Evolution

Enchanted by this spell, many evolutionist scientists go on searching for scientific confirmation of 19 th century's irrational and outdated evolutionist claims that have long since been refuted by scientific evidence. There are also additional mechanisms that force scientists to be evolutionist and materialist. In Western countries, a scientist has to observe some standards in order to be promoted, to receive academic recognition, or to have his articles published in scientific jour...

Andromeda Strain Destruct Device Organism
435 wordsIn the movie Andromeda Strain pH scale was included in the experiment trying to see what happens to blood when someone hyperventilates and proteins. On the first day the expertise were trying to solve the problem as to why the satellite retrieved from outer space was killing people and animals. Then the scientist had to design some experiments to find out more about the deadly organism. They knew that there were three things that they had to find out. First was to identify the organism. Second w...

Theory Of Evolution Origin Of Species
887 wordsBefore November 24, 1859, many people simply believed that species were created by God in their present forms, or that it was possible for organic matter to be spawned from inorganic matter. However, Charles Darwin used these ideas to create his thesis, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. The first true theories on evolution arise during the classical Greek period. On a handful of Greek philosophers believed in the theory of evolution and natural selection. Unfortunately, the...

Organism Y Early Man Evolution
383 wordsimportant so that we can understand our behavior, in other words, that way that we act. In this essay I will show that the majority of evidences supports the idea of evolution. The idea that Darwin had when he came up with his theory. I believe that Darwin's idea best describes how things evolved, and may still continue to evolve. In a scientific study of genes it was proven that evolution occurs. As defined by Webster's dictionary, evolution is 'descent of organisms by modification, ' In other ...

Type Of Cloning Cloning Of Humans
1,762 wordsCloning Cloning as a concept has been recently launched by scientists and adopted by contemporary popular language. In 1997 biologists together with genetic and medical specialists of Roslin University in Scotland managed to produce the cloned sheep Dolly and officially publicized its existence. [ 2 ] Since those times the idea of cloning became a subject of intense interest and permanent discussions all around the world. For the last decade it remains to be one of the most emotional and controv...

Klyment Tan, September 27, 1997 Change in Genetics Genetics and biotechnology are very old fields of science. During the time of the Egyptians, people have used primitive genetics to produce better crops and livestock. The similar species were crossbreed to produce new species with more desirable traits. The first person to really study genetics was Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk. He began ...

Genetically Engineered Genetically Altered
2,840 wordsLast updated: June 30, 1998 Should Cloning Be Banned? Since Scottish scientists reported the successful cloning of a sheep named Dolly last year, new research into cloning has grown rapid as has the ethical controversy surrounding the procedure. In May 1998, scientists at a Massachusetts cell research firm announced the production of genetically identical calves using a new cloning technology that could make it possible to create designer cattle. And in June, buzz about the successful cloning of...

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
2,049 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...

Short Term Goals Theory Of Evolution
1,604 wordsAccording to Darwin, the theory of natural selection would suggest that every individual seeks only to further their own goals at the expense of all others, as only those individual organisms that win the battle for resources get the chance to reproduce and pass on their genes, creating a new generation of individuals who are good at serving their own interests. Conversely, those who are good at serving the interests of others will not be rewarded, but will instead become extinct as those whom t...

Life Threatening Past Year
1,774 wordsSome call it horror and some call it the super germ, but now, our always known regular bacteria, those one-celled creatures once considered under control with antibiotics, have invaded our hospitals and headlines with a vengeance. The vengeance used against us is caused by an existing organism called necrotizing fasciitis, the so-called flesh-eating bacteria, caused by Group A streptococcus. What this organism does is progressively destroy the human body tissue all the way to the bone. This orga...

The transformation time from tree-shrew, to ape, to human far exceeds the time from an analytical engine, to a calculator, to a computer. However, science, in the past, has always remained distant. It has allowed for advances in production, transportation, and even entertainment, but never in history has s...

By understanding genetic engineering and its history, discovering its possibilities and answering the moral and safety questions it brings forth, perhaps scientists will be able to create a world where gene defects, bacterial diseases and even aging, will be a thing of the past.
