Cory King ENG 120 Sec. 02 Spring 2002 March 15‚ 2002 Cloning‚ and Stem Cell Research Technology has advanced a great deal within the past few years. We have learned so much information about animal’s genes and what can be done with them. However‚ with this new information brings new questions and arguments. So far‚ scientists have successfully cloned a sheep‚ a monkey‚ a bull‚ and are working on an endangered breed of ox‚ of course cloning animals and conducting research on those animals does

Christian attitudes towards cloning By Ross Goldsborough Since Dolly the sheep was successfully cloned in 1997‚ and the possibility of cloning humans became a reality‚ Christian leaders have been ever thinking about whether or not cloning is morally right or wrong. While many Christians tend to disagree with the practice‚ such as Roman Catholics and a majority of fundamentalist pastors‚ the views taken by various other Christian denominations are very different and often‚ It is hard to pinpoint

reproductive cloning among humans. Advantages of reproductive cloning could be seeing what people looked like from earlier times such as former United States presidents. Reproductive cloning would have no advantages because it would be a different person in someone else’s body. Reproductive cloning is not very effective with humans‚ or a lot of animals. Scientist have cloned two endangered animals that did have a successful birth‚ but they died shortly after the birth (Cloning Fact). There

April 23‚ 2012 Cons Of Therapeutic Cloning Therapeutic cloning is the transfer of nuclear material isolated from a somatic cell into an enucleated oocyte in the goal of deriving embryonic cell lines with the same genome as the nuclear donor. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) products have histological compatibility with the nuclear donor‚ which circumvents‚ in clinical applications‚ the use of immunosuppressive drugs with heavy side-effects. Therapeutic cloning is also often tied to ethical considerations

rate Cloning animals through somatic cell nuclear transfer is simply inefficient. The success rate ranges from 0.1 percent to 3 percent‚ which means that for every 1000 tries‚ only one to 30 clones are made. Or you can look at it as 970 to 999 failures in 1000 tries. That’s a lot of effort with only a speck of a return! http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/tech/cloning/cloningrisks/ The risk of producing individuals with developmental anomalies is serious and precludes human cloning for

Andrew McClarren The process and idea of cloning has provoked controversy all over the world for a multitude of reasons. Genetically engineered animals have been studied and created over the last few hundred years. With such a low success rate and high cost associated with it‚ cloning has failed thus far to be perfected and the large majority of people lack interest in supporting the advancements of genetic engineering. The positive benefits linked with the use of clones tend to be overlooked based

or against the proposition that cloning is “playing God”. First I would like to point out What is Cloning? According to Medline‚ WebMD‚ and other resources cloning is defined by “the processes used to create the exact genetic replica of another cell‚ tissue‚ or organism”‚ a copy of the original cell‚ with the same genetic formation makeup as the original cell. Which is referred to as a clone. There are three main types of cloning: 1. Gene Cloning which implies copies of genes/

Animal cloning‚ wow‚ 30 years ago this could only be thought of in Star Trek but now it’s a reality; and with this reality comes a whole myriad of ethical issues‚ but to fully understand animal cloning we have to know what it is so‚ what is animal cloning? Do we just zap a sheep and out pops another? No‚ it’s actually quite an intricate process but basically it involves this‚ you take the cell from a male sheep‚ combine it‚ using electric currents‚ with the egg of another sheep and then insert the

Family values have emerged into a standardized process. Within the communities‚ an alteration has occurred changing the accustomed ways of a family. The common way of the parents emphasized the labor force on the father‚ while the other parent (typically the mother) stayed at the home tending to the offspring of the parents‚ nearly evolving this idea into being considered old-fashioned. In the modern society‚ the desire for abundance of wealth has initiated‚ and in many families‚ tend to have both

your family loved him dearly. If only there was a way he could come back. Well‚ you could clone him… but is it really worth $100‚000 for a replica that is actually completely different from Specs? You have to admit that even though cloning your pet might work out just fine‚ but beware. There could be serious consequences‚ and the clones personality‚ and state of health might be completely different. Even though cloning your pet may relieve some grief and be a real option for undecided families. I strongly
