One of the most recent and controversial issues facing our society today is the idea of cloning. On February 23, 1997, Ian Wilmut, a Scottish scientist, along with his colleagues at the Roslin Institute and PPL Therapeutics, announced to the world that they had cloned a lamb ... that adult cells could not be “reprogrammed” to behave like a fertilized egg and create an embryo, but the evidence obtained by Dolly’s success prove otherwise. The issues of cloning have been around for a long time, starting with the publication of Joshua Lederberg’s 1966 article on cloning in the American Naturalist, and the publics interest has been ...

The issues of cloning have been around for a long time, starting with the publication of Joshua Lederberg’s 1966 article on cloning in the American Naturalist, and the publics interest has been perked by many sci-fi books, films, and movies including Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel “Brave New World,” 1973’ ...
- 13: Cloning
- By: Estevan Salinas E-mail: esalinas69@hotmail.com The first thing that must be cleared up is what is cloning, and what is a clone. A clone is an organism derived asexually from a single individual by cuttings, bulbs, tubers, fission, or parthenogenesis reproduction ("Cloning", 1997). Pathogenesis reproduction is the development of an organism from an unfertilized ovum, seed or spore ("Pathogenesis", 1997). So cloning, biologically speaking, is any process in which production of a clone is successful. Therefore, the biological term cloning is the production of a genetically identical duplicate of an organism. ...
- 14: The Science of Cloning
- The Science of Cloning One can imagine lying in bed with the knowledge that they have only a week to live. This prognosis is brought on because the person needs a new heart, liver ... the technology to clone a perfectly matching organ to replace the faulty one existed? This is the problem with today's society. Too many people are afraid of the future. Cloning, like any other science is hindered by the general public's fear of the unknown. Whether it is a single cell to a full human, cloning research is a major next step in scientific development. It is easy to understand why people fear the unknown, but it is hard to figure out why they can' ...

Within the contents of this paper, I will analyze the elements of individualism and collectivism that exist in the controversial topic of cloning. When Dr. Ian Wilmut, a 52-year-old embryologist at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh announced on that he had replaced the genetic material of sheep's egg with ...

- 19: The Ethics of Somatic Cell Cloning
- The Ethics of Somatic Cell Cloning The idea that humans might someday be cloned - created from a single somatic cell without sexual reproduction - became closer to reality on February 23, 1997. On that date, The Observer broke the news that Ian Wilmut, a Scottish scientist, and his colleagues at the Rosilin Institute were about to announce the successful cloning of a sheep by a new technique which has never been fully successful in mammals. The technique, called somatic cell cloning, involved transplanting the genetic material of an adult sheep into the egg from which the nucleus has been removed. The resulting birth of the sheep, named Dolly, on July ...
- 20: Cloning 4
