According to the Human Genome Project‚ there are three types of cloning: DNA‚ therapeutic‚ and reproductive cloning. DNA cloning involves transferring DNA from a donor to another organism. Therapeutic cloning‚ known as embryo cloning; which involves harvesting stem cells from human embryos to grow new organs for transplant. Reproductive cloning creates a copy of the host. Victor Frankenstein created his monster using Reproductive cloning from distinctive body parts of different host organisms. To make

He explained his actions by stating‚ "If this bill would have become law‚ American taxpayers would‚ for the first time in our history‚ be compelled to fund the deliberate destruction of human embryos.

This case study is based on facts and concerns that much of the research done on embryonic stem cells is derived from human embryos.

However‚ new biomedical technologies which have been introduced in the critical area of human life and the family have given rise to further questions‚ in particular in the field of research on human embryos‚ the use of stem cells for therapeutic purposes‚ as well as in other areas of experimental medicine. These new questions require answers. The pace of scientific developments in this area and the publicity they have received have raised expectations

relatively straightforward process. The ovaries are chemically stimulated to produce multiple eggs since pregnancy rates increase with transfer of more than one embryo. The eggs are recovered by laparoscopy‚ then coincubated with sperm for around 12-18 hours to allow fertilisation to occur. After an additional 48-72 hours‚ the embryo (or pre-embryo) is transferred to the uterine cavity by a catheter. If successful‚ implantation will occur in 2-3 days. Success rate is 20-25 per cent – approaches that of

As I looked out of the cab window my heart went into my boots and I thought‚ ‘What have I done? Why have I left Canada to come to this?’” By the early 1950s‚ after a host of problems

What does Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein and stem cell research have in common? The concept of renewing life. Stem cells are a class of cells that are completely variable and can take the shape of virtually any type of cell. The medical applications of stem cells are potentially limitless‚ and are already in use to cure a fair amount of diseases. Stem cells have their miracle healing abilities‚ and in Frankenstein‚ the scientist figures out a way to bring the dead back to life with science. This
