Although it is historically known by scientists all over the world that cloning is originally a thing of nature‚ July 5‚ 1996 is a day recorded in history that many will never forget. On that day‚ at approximately 5:00 p.m.‚ a sheep named Dolly entered the world. Dolly was a genetically engineered clone from the cells of an adult six-year old sheep. The process‚ known as nuclear transplantation‚ was created by a team of scientists led by Dr. Ian Wilmut at Roslin Institute in Roslin‚ Scotland.

Should We Bring Back Extinct Animals? 1. Background and Context Cloning is the act of producing a copy of a living organism that is physically and genetically identical to the organism that it originates from. There are many ways to clone organisms. In the question of extinct animals‚ those ways are somatic cell nuclear transfer‚ SCNT for short‚ or mapping out the genome of an extinct animal and implanting it into a closely related surrogate mother. In the case of the woolly mammoth‚ the cell

issues concern the topics of abortion‚ space exploration‚ cloning‚ etc. There are many pros and cons concerning the ethical issues. Pros support the issues and cons oppose the issues. In this report‚ I will be discussing the topic of cloning humans based on an article from The New York Times/ 12-3-97. I will also discuss the pros and cons of this procedure.

The female sheep cloned was the first ever mammal to be cloned with an adult somatic cell‚ using nuclear transfer and it was named Dolly [1]. She was cloned by Ian Wilmut‚ Keith Cambell‚ and some colleagues. She was born on the fifth of July in 1996 and she lived until she was the age of 6. She has

Rifkin” The embryonic cloning debate touches down ethical issues that are each debatable. One is the debate whether it is healthy and or ethical to obtain eggs from a woman for stem cells. It calls for hormone treatment and surgery. With all surgeries‚ there is always a risk‚ but with this one it’s an ethical debate if it is right or not. Another reason why is that people are afraid that we will fall down a slippery slope into human cloning or human organ harvesting. Human cloning and organ harvesting

This allows us to find a certain sequence of DNA in a large strand. Southern blotting is also used in cloning techniques. 9. The Discovery of the PCR technique occurred in 1983. This technique is used to copy small amount of DNA unlimited amounts of time. This can play a large role today in forensic evidence as it uses small amounts of DNA‚ it

new changes in the upcoming millennium. I think the change that will have the biggest impact will be genetic engineering. One side of genetic engineering will be that parents will be allowed to chose the outcome of their baby. Another side is cloning. I think the biggest part will be correcting DNA to get rid of diseases. That could also be a part of choosing your baby because you could fix any problems before it is even born. I think the part that will most affect our generation will
