hunted them. The last one to survive was in 1960. They were marsupials but they were carnivores. There’s debate whether or not they should be brought back through cloning. Tasmanian tigers should not be cloned. This should not even be a topic for discussion. If they were brought back then there would be an overpopulation of them‚ cloning could be harmful‚ and a price would be paid not only with money but with God too. In “Jurassic Park” they tried to keep the population of the dinosaurs to a limit

In most cloning cases‚ isolated genes or cells are cloned just for and only for scientific study and no new biological material or animals are crated. However‚ in 1997 an experiment was conducted and the result was the cloning of a sheep named Dolly. This process was different as it used a new technique of cloning known as somatic cell nuclear transfer. When the somatic cell nuclear transfer technique was first

In this argumentative essay I will be discussing whether parents have the right to decide on the use of embryonic stem cells on their children using factual information‚ views correct moral‚ ethical and religious arguments. Embryonic stem cells are defined by Wikipedia‚ as stem cells that are self-renewable obtained from the undifferentiated inner mass cells of a human embryo in the blastocyst. Embryo Stem Cells states that an embryonic stem cell has the ability to create little livers‚ Itty-bitty

At Banaras Hindu University in India zoologist scientist were working on research on the changes in stress and life traits in fruit flies. The scientists‚ Seema Sisodia‚ Puja Verma and Bashisth Narayan Sing explain there research in “The Effect of Diet Quality and Associated Metabolic Changes in Adult Stress Response and Life-History Traits in Drosophila Ananassae” The D. ananassae used in the experiment are flies collected from fruit and vegetable india in October 2010.

The novel Fledgling by Octavia Butler analyses race relations and eugenics in society. Through the use of another intelligent species Butler lets the reader experience what happens when humans are not at the top of the food chain. While making the reader question the controversy over the use of eugenics and genetic engineering‚ Butler uses the story as a parallel of race relations in America. In society today‚ there is a debate over eugenics‚ whether humans should be looking into genetic engineering

First‚ where do stem cells come from‚ and what properties do they exhibit that make them stem cells? Human embryonic stem cells come from an embryo that develops from an egg. These eggs were originally collected for reproductive purposes. The eggs are fertilized in vitro‚ and the embryo is donated for research. The donation only happens after the eggs are no longer needed. The donor is informed of the intended use‚ and consent has been given. These stem cells are found when the embryo is between

Xenotransplantation is a procedure that is focused on the transferring of organs from one species to another. The application of this scientific technology converging human beings and animals‚ configures much controversy amidst the substantial benefits and detriments that xenotransplantation yields. Signifying‚ that through an attempt to reach an agreement on xenotransplantation’s bioethical debate‚ a mold of various frameworks of ethical perspectives on the topic is constructed. In this case‚ it

When faced with the two distinct species of salamander‚ one must ask what their common ancestor looked like and whether it primarily lived in ponds or streams. Previous studies have presumed that Ambystoma barbouri‚ the stream dwelling species‚ is divergent from Ambystoma texanum‚ the pond dwelling species (Kraus and Petranka‚ 1989). This assumption is based on knowledge of environmental changes and the geographic spread of each species. Since the end of the last Ice Age‚ the availability of pond

CRISPR is a revolutionary technique that edits genes‚ enabling humans to select desirable genetic traits. Although this idea of editing genes of human embryos may sound advantageous‚ editing genes can prove to be dangerous and can leads to dire consequences. Practicing CRISPR on human embryos can also violates the fundamental idea of civil rights. By implementing CRISPR and eliminating genes that we found unfavorable‚ we are essentially eliminating the diversity of the human gene pools and human
