Cloning Informative Speech
Cloning and Stem Cell Research
S/P: To inform my audience about cloning and cell stem research. C/I: The benefits and ethical issues of cloning and cell stem research. Introduction
Specific purpose: Today I’m going to inform you about “Cloning Technology and Stem Cell Research”.
Attention getter: Imagine yourself dying from heart disease or liver failure, and the only way to live was to have an exact clone of your heart or liver. The only way this could be possible was to have an exact copy made by your organs, and this process is achieved only by cloning.
Reveal central idea: Stem cell research and cloning, is one of the most exciting and controversial ethical issues today. We must see both the benefits and the ethical issues concerning this process.
Credibility: while I was doing this research I read an article in “The Guardian” about a perfect match between mice and human cells as Alok Jha science correspondent reports. This grabbed my attention and I really raised my interest to conduct a more specific research about my topic.
Goodwill: I hope you will enjoy hearing about “Cloning and Stem Cell Research” as I enjoyed preparing for this speech.
(Transition: Let`s take a look at what cloning and stem cells are) * BODY I. What is cloning and stem cells? Which is the process of cloning a human being or an animal? A. Definition of cloning: Clones are genetically identical organisms. This means that every piece of DNA is exactly the same between the 'clones' which causes them to have exactly the same features. B. History of cloning: Cloning before 1990s was not well known and people didn’t know much about it although the very first clones date since 1885. The first cloning process took place in The University of Utah by scientists Robert Briggs and Thomas King who cloned an American frog. This frog was cloned by
