risky right now. A particular worry is the possibility that the genetic material used from the adult will continue to age so that the genes in a newborn baby clone could be - say - 30 years old or more on the day of birth. Many attempts at animal cloning produced disfigured monsters with severe abnormalities. So that would mean creating cloned embryos‚ implanting them and destroying (presumably) those that look imperfect as they grow in the womb. However some abnormalities may not appear till after

Cloning is a naturally occurring phenomenon‚ as well as a human induced process. A clone is a living organism deriving from another‚ with identical set of genes. A naturally occurring anthropological example of a clone would be twins‚ a set of individuals with identical DNA. A laboratory-induced clone would be stem cell production and animal cloning. In the movie The Island by Michael Bay‚ the concept of cloning is used as a life insurance policy to elongate the life of a natural born individual

Gattaca and the Holy See of Cloning The world is filled with new technologies and inventions that allow a human to become “Perfect”. To many the main point of life is to be better than the next person. Life is meant to prepare us for heaven‚ but some people lose sight of that goal. They see temptations and pleasures that can be easily achieved if you are better than the person next to you. Standing out can destroy you or make you in today’s society. Those who strive for perfection want a life

Electronic Revolution "The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty‚ and all forms of human life." - John Fitzgerald Kennedy As scientists continue to piece together nature ’s mysteries of science‚ and as technology is becoming the dominating force in numerous areas worldwide‚ there is often a crucial piece of the puzzle that goes missing: responsibility. Though many people praise the abundant benefits of modern

Cloning plants Many plants clone themselves naturally to reproduce. They send a small shoot-like structure called a runner‚ along the soil. The runner grows into a new separate plant‚ which is genetically identical to the original plant - a clone. People can clone plants by simply taking a cutting of the plant such as a twig or stem and planting it. This is called vegetative propagation. Horticulturists use cloning to grow plants with specific qualities‚ like height‚ flower colour and quality

The Disadvantages of Cloning Cloning can be define as the creation of an organisms that is an exact genetic copy of another. This means that every single bit of DNA is the same between two. This is use to make multiple identical copies of DNA‚ create or propagate an organism from a clone cell and reproduce or propagate asexually such as clone a plant variety or animal. Cloning has its advantages and disadvantages but most people opined human cloning is playing the role of god. There are many disadvantages

rather the biotech revolution-which promises to give us unprecedented power to transform human nature. How should we use that power? A group of cutting-edge scientists‚ entrepreneurs‚ and intellectuals has a bold answer. This group-I call them the techno-utopians-argues that science will soon give us the means to straighten the crooked timber of humanity‚ and even to remake our species into something "post-human." One of the leading techno-utopians is Lee Silver‚ who teaches molecular biology at

Aldous Huxley describes his view of how cloning in his book “Brave New World”. The Bokanovsky Process; which involves shocking an egg so that it divides to form up to ninety-six identical embryos‚ which then develop into ninety-six identical human beings. The process is described in four steps. Step one‚ thirty-six hours after fertilization‚ embryos are given 8 minutes exposure to x-rays‚ a few eggs die‚ a few divide in two‚ most divide in four‚ some divide in eight. The next step‚ wait two days
