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...

Human Cloning Surrogate Mother
1,762 wordsTwenty years from now, as you are walking around the square in Wilkes Barre, you pass someone who looks exactly like you. They have your same brown eyes, round face, light brown hair, short stature, and even the same dimples you possess. Can you imagine the shock and even fright that may accompany such a sighting? The world was bewildered when the news that an adult mammal was produced without any eggs being fertilized with sperm. The results of Dolly surprised society and the idea that human cl...

Usually the insemination itself causes little if any discomfort. Following the insemination procedure the woman remains lying down with her hips elevated for 45 minutes. After this it is hoped that the sperm reached the egg naturally and pregnancy will occur from it. Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer or GIFT Gamete intra fallopian transfer, or GIFT, was develo...

The Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority is involved in deciding where to draw ethical boundaries and is empowered to forbid human reproductive cloning in the United Kingdom (Appendix A. 17). They also ensure that the current existing law is adequate. The creation of an organization modeled after the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority in Britain is what is ...

1,351 wordsStem Cells: Could this be the technology to cure cancer? By: Ali Right Stem cells could be the greatest medical advance in history in the sense that most of our serious diseases can be cured. Stem cells have the potential to morph into other cell types in the body. Serving as a sort of repair system for the body, they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person is living. During mitosis, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or bec...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
