- 61: Abstract from: Cloning : Where Do We Draw the Line?
- Abstract from: Cloning : Where Do We Draw the Line? The first attempt in cloning was conducted in 1952 on a group of frogs. The experiment was a partial success. The frog cells were cloned into other living frogs however, only one in every thousand ... grew to abnormally large sizes. In 1993, scientist and director of the in vitro lab at George Washington University, Jerry Hall and associate Robert Stillman, reported the first ever successful cloning of human embryos. It was the discovery of in- vitro fertilization in the 1940’s that began the pursuit to ease the suffering of infertile couples. After years of ...
- 62: Genetic Cloning and Frankenstein
- Genetic Cloning and Frankenstein The ethical debate concerning biotechnological exploration into genetic cloning has created a monster in itself. A multitude of ethical questions arises when considering the ramifications of creating a genetically engineered human being. Does man or science have the right ... may eventually bring our demise with the eminent threat of nuclear warfare. In literature, Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” serves as a bioethical exhortation for today’s technological advances in genetic cloning. Mary Shelly’s “Frankenstein” provides a clear distinction between the theoretical grandeur of man’s ability to scientifically author life and the stark reality, which it encompasses. Mary prophetically ...
- 63: Cloning
- Cloning According to Professor Wilmut of the Monash Mecical Center, "Creating a clone though these new methods calls into question our most sacred fundamental beliefs. It has the potential to threaten ... attempts to select certain traits, even to create certain kind or people-to make our childrean ojects rather then individuals". This statement compels me and my partner to affirm; resolved: Cloning is not justified. I will now go on to my contentions. FIRST CONTENTION Our first contention is that the cloning of humans is immoral and unethically disturbing. The cloning of humans would mean the process of experimenting with human life! We might not be able to relate to livestock ...
- 64: Cloning 7
- Genetic Engineering / Cloning Genetic engineering, altering the inherited characteristics of an organism in a predetermined way, by introducing into it a piece of the genetic material of another organism. Genetic engineering offers the ... of cures for many inherited diseases, once the problem of low efficiencies of effective transfer of genetic material is overcome. Another development has been the refinement of the technique called cloning, which produces large numbers of genetically identical individuals by transplanting whole cell nuclei. With other techniques scientists can isolate sections of DNA representing single genes, determine their nucleotide sequences, and ... have come to believe that all human beings are equal; but even more firmly, we are taught to believe each one of us is unique. Is that idea undercut by cloning? That is, if you can deliberately make any number of copies of an individual, is each one special? How special can clones feel, knowing they were replicated like smile ...

- 66: Genetic Engineering And Its Future Impacts On Society
- ... paper and farming industries. If we were to deny the usage of this technology to restoration of extinct species, we would be no better then the societies that destroyed them. Cloning is another genetic related topic, it was discussed in some of the most famous science fiction novels of this century. But ever since Dolly the sheep was successfully cloned the question on everyone's mind is "What's Next?" Cloning animals is useful, and highly so, as discussed prior, we can do so in order to restore extinct species or produce animals which we consume in order to provide more food for the people of the world. The big question now is about cloning humans. Cloning a human for the purpose of cloning a human is wasteful, ignorant, and pointless. Lets think a moment. What do we get from cloning a human An ...
- 67: Genetic Cloning ----
- Genetic scientists have been busy creating all kinds of solutions to some of the problems that the human and agricultural populations have been experiencing. One of the most promising has been in the area of transplantation. That is ...

- ... producing a new type of disease resistant plants, capable of living in inhospitable environments. When introduced into bacteria, these proteins have also produced new antibiotics and useful drugs. Techniques of cloning generate large quantities of pure human proteins, which are used to treat diseases like diabetes. In the future, a resource bank for rare human proteins or other molecules is a ... adults is one to two units per hour. After meals, secretion increases to four to six units per hour. (Britannica, 95) The function of restriction enzyme is important in gene cloning. Each Restriction enzyme recognizes a short, specific sequence of nucleotide base, these regions are called recognition sequences and are randomly distributed throughout the DNA. The structure of DNA is a ... catalyzing the hydrolysis, splitting of a chemical bond by addition of a water molecule, of the bond between adjacent nucleotides. (Ryan, 1986) The Type II restriction enzymes is used in cloning. The Type II Restriction enzyme is independent of its methylase. It cleaves DNA at specific sites within the recognition site. These enzymes have the ability to cut DNA at ...

- ... type of medication or another. DNA technology may provide the answer to the urgent demand for an HIV vaccine that is safe, inexpensive and easy to produce. Dolly and Human Cloning The announcement in February 1997 of the birth of a sheep named Dolly, an exact genetic replica of its mother, sparked a worldwide debate over the moral and medical implications of cloning. Several U.S. states and European countries have banned the cloning of human beings. But less than a week after an American scientist announced he would clone a child, nineteen European nations signed a treaty that said cloning people violated ...
