- 71: DNA Technology
- ... better the world around us, even when it is used on the human egg cell. However, restrictions should be instated to insure that no unethical or hazardous situations occur. Human cloning is one of these situations. Although, even this has a good use, perhaps not when it is used to clone an entire human but when it is used to make ... or life altering problem. However, even these restrictions could be used to ones discretion, obstacles such as these are problematic and must be dealt with carefully and monitored closely. Human cloning is a major ethical problem. There are many issues in the arena of human cloning. One argument against it is that there is absolutely no need for human cloning, why would one need a duplicate of themselves? Another argument is that what if this ...
- 72: The Island Of Dr. Moreau
- ... in the Pacific Ocean. On this island Dr. Moreau and his assistant ( Montgomery) performed dangerous, secret experiments on humans and animals. When Wells wrote this he knew nothing about DNA, cloning, or chromosomes but he did use his scientific imagination. Wells realized that society was beginning to rely on science too much in the late nineteenth century. He wrote this book ... warning for future societies against their own scientific advancements. He knew that just like his society others will want to quench their appetite for this tasty treat called vivisection or cloning. He knew that eventually the progress of society would lead to the all or nothing control of the evolutionary processes. This brings me to one of Wells most important ideas that he wanted to tell his readers. That was the idea of vivisection or cloning of humans and animals. In todays world we are trying to control evolution by furthering our studies into cloning. He was right about his expectations of future societies and ...
- 73: Bioethics In A Brave New World
- ... world today like, abortion, artificial insemination, and in vitro fertilization (U. Penn, 2-3). Finally the last and most recent ethical issue, although not listed as the sixth issue, is cloning. Recently scientists in Scotland cloned a sheep, name Dolly. From this incident many ethical supporters protested the cloning of animals. The main fight against this is that human being should not be creating life. These experiments, however, do have a positive side to them. By cloning sheep scientists are closer to cloning humans and in cloning humans they will be able to use the clones as test patients and will also be able to use ...
- 74: Brave New World 3
- ... consideration, and Huxley s novel has become much closer to a reality than it was 65 years ago. Today, Huxley s Brave New World parallels current advances in genetical engineering, cloning, the lowering of moral standards held by the general mass, and the obsession people have with looking young. Theses new discoveries of genetical engineering and cloning closely parallel the process of giving birth in the Brave New World. In Brave New World, people are born artificially in test tubes. Everyone is condidtioned to be the same ... a lab mistake during birth, and were ostracized from the community, until they conditioned themself to think like the rest of the community. Scientific development in both genetical engineering and cloning, have made the idea of anti-individualism closer to a reality. Genetical engineering enables parents to choose characteristics for their child, creating a poster child which ultimately ends in ...
- 75: Genome Project
- ... group of cells, or an organism produced by asexual reproduction, which contains genetic information identical to the parent cell or organism. Although some organisms produce asexually naturally, the first artificial cloning by humans were plants developed from grafts and stem cuttings. Cloning involving very complex laboratory techniques is a relatively recent scientific advancement in today s world. Among these is the Genome Project, which involves the research and support of Physical Mapping ... interpreted and used, who should have access to it, they are concerned that the information might result in anxiety, stigmatization, discrimination. The Human Genome Project has been used for the cloning of genes responsible for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, retinoblastoma, cystic fibrosis, and neurofibromatosis. If other diseases like these are isolated, biologists can learn about the gene s pathology of disorders. ...
- 76: Genetic Faltering
- ... DNA, and they expanded upon it to where they had the animal’s entire genetic make-up. This procedure shocked the world, in being it was the first known successful cloning. This experiment raised eyebrows, and it upset many people because of the moral lines it crossed. If we can clone sheep, why don’t we clone super humans? This question outraged many, and excited many others. In the United States, human cloning is controlled by teach state government, but on a whole, the majority of the states have outlawed cloning experiments, and for good reason. Cloning is a dangerous area that if not controlled properly could result in the end of the human race, as we now know it. “ ...
- 77: CLONAID. . . It Makes Sense
- ... of a religious organization called the Raelian Movement, recently announced that he has set up a company named Valiant Ventures Ltd. which offers a service called CLONAID, the new human cloning company. This service provides fantastic opportunities to parents with fertility problems or homosexual couples who want to have a child cloned from one of them. The Bahamas-based company plans to build a laboratory in a country where cloning is not illegal. CLONAID will charge as low as two hundred thousand dollars for its cloning services. It plans to offer its services to wealthy parents worldwide. Dr. Brigitte Boisselier, Ph.D., the CLONAID scientific director, sees no ethical problem with the procedure. “Parents have ...
- 78: Victor Frankenstein and His Use of Science
- ... to discover new information, and Victor Frankenstein was simply being a scientist and creating new information. When Victor Frankenstein created his monster, it could be compared to genetic engineering or cloning of today. Scientists are trying to re- create life from another exact life form through cloning. They are trying to make the creation of life better and humans that are better quality, without disease or deformity through genetic engineering. Since the beginning of time humans have ... on earth. Victor Frankenstein is exactly like the scientists of today. Victor Frankenstein is trying to make a human being from other, deceased human beings, this could be compared to cloning today, making one creature from another. The possibility, or theory of genetic engineering can guarantee that humans would be without deformity, affliction or frailty. Victor Frankenstein may not have ...
- 79: Gattaca The Movie And Discrimi
- ... think its progress should be carefully monitored. Right now sheep and other animals are being cloned. Soon primates and Humans could be cloned. I think we should further investigate human cloning for research on the parenting process and other physiological experiments that can only be used now on identical twins separated at birth. These experiments when used could be used to gain insight on what our genes determine in our personalities. I also think that the achievement of us humans cloning ourselves would be a great achievement for the entire human race such as it was when we landed on the moon in 1969. In the movie Gattaca they barely showed ... virtually eliminated and gene problems where also stopped. The crime solving potential of having every ones gene son file were also showed. Such technology could be used however with out cloning or genetic altering. Weighing all these positives and negatives though is not a choice for me or anyone else, but a choice for future generations to come when they ...
- 80: Jurrasic Park
- ... way to stop them, or containing them. In the hysteria a scientist , Wu, discovers that the dinosaurs have been mating, which they thought wasn't possible, because they were only cloning females, but the dinosaurs have adapted and have found a way to reproduce. They think they got the power back on so they try to put all the animals back ... They escape by having a helicopter pick them up. After the pick up the Costa Rican government bomb the island in order to destroy it. According to the book genetic cloning can be accomplished by obtaining just a small amount of blood.
