Introduction
Cloning is considered by many to be the future of medicine. With the new technologies coming to the surface of the science communities, scientists have begun to truly understand the potential of cloning to heal patients, especially therapeutic cloning which allows for various parts of an organism’s systems to be reproduced through stem cells. Of course, cloning seems daunting. When most people try to imagine cloning, the image of grotesque mutations and disgusting beings come to mind. But, the future of cloning is much more compelling than these fictional ideas and this is only the beginning of this new technology.
Cloning is not a singular process. There are multiple forms and procedures which allow for cloning to occur. However,
I’m Michael Martinez I am writing this letter to talk about cloning and which on you should vote for. There are two different types of cloning there is Reproductive cloning and Therapeutic cloning. Reproductive cloning is creating organisms that are the same as the old one. It clones plants, animals, and humans. Human cloning is more in Therapeutic cloning it harvest embryonic stem cells for medical treatments. This could be used to to clone human tissue for surgical transplants.
Cloning is a complicated process of creating cells from things other than a sperm and egg cell. There are three basic types of cloning. Gene cloning is the simplest and makes exact copies of segments of DNA. Reproductive cloning, the kind used with Dolly, is when a whole animal is reproduced. Therapeutic cloning is the creation of cells and tissues that are intended to be used for experiments or replacing diseased
I am writing to address the problem I have with cloning. Therapeutic and Reproductive cloning is a waste of money and time. Why would you pay fifty thousand american dollars to clone something or someone that won’t be an exact copy? Every person or animal in the world is made for a reason, so why make a clone if you’re one of a kind.
Cloning has been a hot topic for many in the medical field and regular people. One of the new ideas for cloning is organ. Organ cloning is a process many doctors and scientists are interested in. Organ cloning is a process that can many benefits for humans. The possibility of using that organ cloning can become enormous. The one thing it could make it is easier for people whose need transplants to get one. It could also make the chance that the body will reject the organ to zero. While the idea of organ cloning is a great and interest idea there still some ways to go before we can actually do it. The one chance for the success of organ cloning is therapeutic cloning. Therapeutic cloning is a process in which DNA is extracted from the people
The idea of finding a way to cure people of diseases with their own cells is one that scientists, physicians, and those who are afflicted by such diseases find very enticing. Therapeutic cloning is a process that scientists believe has the potential to achieve such goals in the future. While therapeutic cloning brings with it a variety of potential benefits and innovations, it also carries with it a polarizing ethical conflict that poses a strong impediment to furthering such research and development. By realizing therapeutic cloning for its great potential benefits and world changing implications and disregarding any ethical considerations that may deter such advancement, the proper focus and open-mindedness necessary to achieve success in the field would be achieved. Therapeutic cloning, like all medical endeavors, includes a multitude of challenges and flaws, but no very important medical achievements come about without extensive research and continual attempts at success.
Human cloning is capable of aiding doctors and medical researchers in creating new medical treatments and therapies, which is also
The topic of cloning has been a science fiction legend until Dolly, the first cloned mammal, was born in the late 1990s. Dolly’s cloning renewed the interest in the potential of human cloning as seen in science fiction. Cloning has been done since the 1950s, but every cloning experiment included problems. When cloning mice, researches can use thousands of eggs to fix errors, but human cloning cannot use the same knowledge learned from cloning cows. With human cloning there is an “…extremely high rate of death…” and chance of abnormalities that cause the ethical concern for cloning humans (Rettner).
There are three primary types of cloning, recombinant DNA technology or DNA cloning, reproductive cloning, and therapeutic cloning. Therapeutic cloning, also referred to as somatic cell nuclear transfer(SCNT), was first accomplished in November 2001 by the Advanced Cell Technology. Therapeutic cloning is similar to reproductive cloning, but the purpose is to harvest embryonic stem cells from a developing embryo. This Cloning was designed as treatment for diseases. In therapeutic cloning, the core of a cell, commonly a skin cell, is embedded into a prepared egg whose nucleus has been extracted. The nucleated egg starts to break down continuously to form a blastocyst. Scientists then extract stem cells from the blastocyst and use them to grow cells that are a
Specific purpose: Today I’m going to inform you about “Cloning Technology and Stem Cell Research”.
The medical benefits of cloning have the potential to be the greatest breakthroughs in the field ever. There are so many it’s hard to just put your finger on one. The power of cloning will allow people to be cured of diseases that have never been cured before. These diseases include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes,
For many years there has been a large controversy over the use of cloning for therapeutic and reproductive purposes. The argument against therapeutic cloning is that creating an exact replica of one's self all for the use of harvesting its parts is considered killing another human being. However, some people are for this use so that they can survive as long as they can, and use the clones materials as a way to cure disease or heal injuries. On the other hand, reductive cloning also has two sides, for and against. People who believe that reproductive cloning is okay, want to create another version of themselves just to either have themselves as a baby or replace a loved one. But, people who are against reproductive cloning believe that it is a selfish or unreasonable act to have one birth a
Cloning in its simplest definition is an creating an exact copy of a biological entity, meaning that if the
Numerous attempts are being made in the hopes of finding an answer to the problem of the millennium. The concept of cloning has caught scientists attention throughout this past century. "The world has to come to grips that the cloning technology is almost here,” a representative for a European research group, Panos Zavos. Clones are life forms that have identical genetic coding. A clone is an organisms replica. Originating in the late 1880’s; the first record of synthetic embryo
Roses are red, violets are blue since, the birds and the bees reproduce during spring, reproducing organisms is a form of cloning.
Scientific experimentation has led us to many great discoveries such as: Chemotherapy, heart surgery, and bone marrow transplants. Recently scientists have discovered a new way to heal humans. This is known as cloning. Although they have yet to clone a human they have cloned sheep. Cloning has brought up a huge controversy among the American people. There are two sides to the story. Either you agree with cloning or you don’t. The only way to help make that decision is to look at the good and bad points of cloning.
