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...

Human Cloning Stem Cells
789 wordsSince I am majored in biology, I will mainly talk about the topic of human cloning today. Four billion years ago, life arose on the earth. Four billion years later, human beings begin to look into the secrets hidden in the genes, which are the most delicate structure of life. A little over a year ago, scientists completed the Human Genome Project, which is one of the three most important advances in scientific history. Cloning is the major technique developed in the research of genes. To clone m...

The Promises Of Stem Cell Research
760 wordsFrom the monks practice of reincarnation to the Native American medicine man, civilization have searched for loop holes to cheat death and have gone to spontaneous measures to improve life. Modern day medicine has saved the life of thousands and given even more a healthier way of living. However, throughout the course of history, the practice of healing has taken a drastic change from a once religious threshold to a more scientific one. People hold more faith in a needle then they do in Allah, B...

Pursuit Of Knowledge Parkinsons Disease
1,204 wordsTopic: How do beliefs about the World, and beliefs about what is valuable, influence the pursuit of knowledge? The pursuit of scientific knowledge has often been believed to be an exploration in which information is gathered solely from experimentation, but people are slow to realize that experimentation is only one way, among a variety of ways, in which scientists gather information. In their pursuit of new scientific knowledge, scientists may conduct surveys, or build on pre-existing informati...

Adult Dna Cloning Human Cloning Technology
1,788 wordsThe possibility of human cloning was raised when Scottish scientists, led by Dr. Ian Wilmut at the Roslin Institute, created the much-celebrated sheep "Dolly." Being the first mammal ever cloned this aroused worldwide interest and concern because of its scientific and ethical implications. The feat, cited by Science Magazine as the breakthrough of 1997, also generated uncertainty over the meaning of "cloning" -- an umbrella term traditionally used by scientists to describe different processes fo...

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Bone Marrow

The embryo can then be put back into the womb of the women who donated the nucleus then she can have a healthy child who is biologically related to her (Uses of Cloning 2). Another practical application of human cloning could be used as insurance for a person or his children's health. Humans might be able to clone their own organs ...

The Controversy On Stem Cell
669 wordsTHE CONTROVERSY ON THE STEM CELL Stem cell research is one of the most controversial ideas in modern society. There are those who believe that it holds out the promise to cure or relieve some of humanity's most terrible diseases. On the other side, there are those who insist that stem cells can only be collected by killing embryos by murder. How does one reconcile this issue? Are embryos regarded as a measure of the symbolic value for the human species? That is the contention of those against th...

812 wordsQUESTION OF KNOWLEDGE: STEM CELL THEORY The debate is heated over the issue of embryonic stem cells used in medical research to find treatment for diseases such as Alzheimers disease, diabetes, and Parkinsons. This issue is so much like the continuation of the abortion issue debated by pro-life groups and pro-choice advocates. One of the most vocal in this issue is the religious sector, which believes that it is murder to experiment on human embryos and therefore such experiments should be consi...

Bioethics Advisory Commission Stem Cell Research
1,850 wordsStem Cell Therapy Recent progress in stem cell research heated the debates on the issue of the status and dignity of the human embryo. The advances of stem cell therapy prompted a decision by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to fund stem cell research which, according to the statement of Harold Varmus, depends on the destruction of human embryos. These advances of stem cell research and therapy and their support by institutions and gov...

Clone A Human Zona Pellucid
2,092 wordsThe idea that humans might someday be cloned has started sounding less like a science fiction novel and more like a genuine scientific possibility. On February 23, 1997, The Observer broke the news that Ian Wilmut, a Scottish scientist, and his college at the Roslin Institute were about to announce the successful cloning of a sheep by a new technique which had never been successfully used before in mammals. This technique involved transplanting the genetic material of an adult sheep, obtained fr...

2,611 wordsWhen one thinks of cloning, what comes to mind? Movies such as? Multiplicity? can give the layperson a much-distorted image of cloning. In this particular movie, actor Michael Keaton plays a father who cannot handle his crazily busy lifestyle. In an effort to be the perfect father, husband and employee, he has himself cloned easily at a nearby medical center. The three clones each have their own personality: one is sarcastic and bitter, one is sweet and sensitive and one is a half-wit but all ar...
