Kayla Santiago Eliza Gray Racheal Payne AP Language Period 1 3/27/13 Should Cloning be Used for Medical Purposes? Cloning is one of the most divisive topics in modern biology‚ particularly in the medical field. The earliest instance of medical cloning can be traced back to The National Institutes of Health’s launch of The Human Genome Project. The Human Genome Project was the first stepping stone to understanding the medical possibilities behind cells as well as genes. Another milestone was

1. Genetic cloning is one way of studying the specific proteins involved in cell division. A gene contains the instructions for how to make a protein. By mutating a gene‚ the protein’s shape‚ size and function could all be affected. Mutating a gene changes its instructions. Once a mutated gene is created and incorporated into a cell’s DNA‚ the cell replicates‚ creating many cells containing the mutant gene. The cells with the changed gene can then be compared to normal cells. For starters‚ you must

Gene Cloning Clone: A group of identical cells or organisms To clone a gene: 1) Insert the gene into a vector that can carry the into a host cell 2) Ensure that it will replicate there 3) Insertion is carried out by cutting the vector and the DNA to be inserted with the same restriction endonuclease to ensure that both have the same "sticky ends" Vector for cloning the bacteria come from two major types: (1) Plasmids‚ and (2) Phages Recombinant DNA Technology A) It was developed in

most people think of cloning‚ they think of a scientist that uses DNA to make an exact replica of someone . Cloning is a lot more complicated and more controversial than that . According to the American Heritage Dictionary Cloning is defined as “A group of cells‚ or organism that is descended from and genetically identical to a common ancestor ‚ such as a bacterial colony whose members arose from a single original cell . Ever since August‚1‚2001 Cloning had been banned .Cloning was banned for many

**INTRODUCTION** What is cloning? Cloning in biotechnology refers to processes used to create copies of DNA fragments (molecular cloning)‚ cells (cell cloning)‚ or organisms. It describes the processes used to create an exact genetic replica of another cell‚ tissue or organism. The copied material‚ which has the same genetic makeup as the original‚ is referred to as a clone. When is cloning done? Cloning is done to amplify the DNA fragments containing the gene of interest and ensures pure

Stem Cells and Cloning 1. Cloning is one of the most widely talked about topics in this world. The people that defend cloning believe that cloning and genetic engineering will be the answer to most of the diseases in the future. On the other hand‚ the people against it think of it as ‘ playing God ’. Cloning is unethical because people will lose their identities if their clones come into this world. We are taking nature into our own hands by cloning animals or humans. Cloning is the process

Cloning Advancements and Achievements Have you ever had a favorite dog - a pet you would keep for the rest of your life if you could? Well‚ now you can. Researchers in Seoul‚ South Korea are betting that consumers will pay big bucks to have their pet brought back to life‚ at least genetically speaking. RNL Bio announced in mid-February that they are offering commercial pet cloning services to the public. Offering cloned dogs at a price of $150‚000‚ services are marketed to wealthy pet owners

The word cloning describes many different processes that can be use to make identical copies of existing organisms or object. The copied object has the same genetic makeup as the original‚ the copied material is a clone. Scientist have cloned many biological materials such as genes‚ cells‚ tissues‚ and whole organism like dolly the sheep. There is also natural clones‚ some plants and single celled organisms like bacteria make genetically identical off springs through a process called asexual reproduction

reproductive cloning be wasting taxpayers money‚ if there is no point for it? Therapeutic cloning can help many with health‚ growing hair and save lives. Many diseases can be cured with the use of therapeutic cloning and that’s why I support it. There should be no point of cloning another human if it is not medical related. It would be costly and there is no real reason for it. Reproductive cloning is creating an animal or human that is genetically identical to a donor animal/human through somatic

Cons of Cloning http://bvsd.k12.co.us/cent/Newspaper/dec97/p6/stories/andrea-cons.html In this article "Cons of Cloning" by Andrea Castro‚ the point is made that there are many positive things about cloning; but there are also many bad things that could happen if men were to fool around with cloning. The main thing that was pointed out to be the negative part of cloning is that people would lose their individuality. Soon cloning the same people over and over and over and over again would create
