Essay #2‚ Human Cloning‚ EN101 - N‚ September 11th‚ 2001 Just as times change‚ so do the solutions to problems we are faced with. There is a certain point however‚ when we have to reevaluate just how much we should allow these new technologies to take over our lives. Human cloning holds extraordinary capabilities that definitely have the power to change our lives and the lives of future generations. Would it benefit us to have the capability to clone a human being? Perhaps‚ but do the pros outweigh

Under what conditions (if any)‚ should human reproductive cloning be permitted? Kubiak‚ J.Z. and Johnson‚ M.H. (2001). Human Infertility‚ Reproductive Cloning and Nuclear Transfer: a Confusion of Meanings. Bioessays‚ 23(4)‚ 359-64. This article argues that confusions in the semantic meanings of human reproductive cloning may hinder future scientific progressions to discover an ethically viable solution to infertility treatments. Kubiak and Johnson postulates that the term “nuclear transfer”

not be possible to achieve cloning of an adult mammal by nuclear transfer. In this process‚ the nucleus from the cell of an adult mammal is inserted into an ennucleated ovum‚ and the resulting embryo develops following the complete genetic code of the mammal from which the inserted nucleus was obtained. But some scientists and much of the public were troubled or apparently even horrified at the prospect that if adult mammals such as sheep could be cloned‚ then cloning of adult humans by the sameprocess

To consider the cloning of another human being forces me to question the very concepts of right and wrong that make us all human. <br> <br>Until the birth of Dolly the sheep‚ the first mammal to be successfully cloned‚ it was thought that the ability to clone an adult human was impossible or would only be possible somewhere in the distant future! But that has all changed with the birth of Dolly and the explosion of advances in the field of Embryology and genetic screening. These advances are leading

Genetics Research Task Cloning to Revive Extinct Species and Save Endangered Species Cloning‚ creating an organism that has the exact genetic copy as another (Utah.edu). Cloning‚ although seen around the world as a very controversial topic‚ has the possibility to cure many problems in the world. One problem that cloning could address is the chance to bring back animals from extinction and save endangered animals. How cloning addresses extinction? There are two main ways of cloning‚ artificial embryo

Women have been judged and told that they “couldn’t do” certain things for hundreds of years‚ especially female athletes. Whether it was for the “emotional level of a woman”‚ or just their supposed “inability to play”‚ they have been unappreciated for what they can do by sexist‚ misogynistic men like Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. He claims that‚ “you know‚ the girls‚ they are more unstable emotionally than us [men]”. I am glad that this idea of female athletes has faded over the years‚ and that women are finally

Cloning of Animals The cloning of animals is a process in which a single cell is taken from the parent organism and is used to reproduce a genetically identical organism. The animal cloned represents an exact duplicate of its parent in every way‚ the one exception of that is the original and cloning will not have the same DNA. The first cloning of an animal was of a sheep named Dolly. An instance of animal cloning is‚ development of twins from a single fertilized egg and asexual reproduction. The

Human Cloning Doctor Jerome Kassirer once said‚ “I’m willing to hold off completely on any kind of human cloning‚ but I’m not willing to hold off on research that could yield enormous therapeutic benefit.” Human cloning is a controversial topic in science and medicine. While some are all for human cloning‚ others disregard the idea all together because they see the con’s before they can understand the major advantages of pros. But what exactly is human cloning?

The cloning of humans is now very close to reality‚ thanks to the historic scientific breakthrough of Dr. Ian Wilmut and his colleagues in the UK. This possibility is one of incredible potential benefit for all of us. Unfortunately the initial debate on this issue has been dominated by misleading‚ sensationalized accounts in the news media and negative emotional reactions derived from inaccurate science fiction. Much of the negativity about human cloning is based simply on the breathtaking novelty
