3: 126-132 Copyright © 1997 by MJM CROSSROADS: WHERE MEDICINE AND THE HUMANITIES MEET Human Germline Gene Therapy Torsten O. Nielsen*‚ M.D.C.M.‚ Ph.D. 1 The idea of human germline gene therapy introducing genetic changes into early embryos which become incorporated into all cells of the body and‚ as such‚ are passed on to future generations - has elicited considerable ethical‚ scientific‚ and political controversy. Technological advances have turned what until recently was fanciful

Internal Assessment 3.2 Biology Research a contemporary biological issue Introduction Stem cells are undifferentiated cells able to differentiate into specialized cell types. These are used for stem cell treatment‚ which is an intervention strategy that introduces new adult stem cells into damaged tissue in order to treat disease or injury. For over 30 years‚ bone marrow and‚ more recently‚ umbilical cord blood stem cells have been used to treat cancer patients with leukaemia and lymphoma because

the University of Freiberg in Germany in the 1880’s.The theory proposes that a cell’s genetic information will decrease progressively with each cell division. In 1901‚ the result of Hans Spemann’s 2-cell salamander experiment showed that the early embryos including all the genetic information were crucial for developing a new organism. The first recombinant DNA molecules were created in 1972. In 1994‚ nuclear transfer was invented by Willesden (History of cloning‚ n.d.). Until the cloning of Dolly

throughout the world. Embryonic stem cells possess the ability to save lives through reproductive growth properties despite moral oppositions proposed by conservative and religious lobbying organizations. Embryonic stem cells derive from developing embryos (the most basic stage of human life) which then are injected into another patient in order to cure an illness or more astonishingly‚ to help regrow lost body parts. These cells perform miraculous feats in terms of aiding a person back to wellness

"The Essence of the Epoche" In the Supreme Court ruling of Davis v. Davis‚ Justice Daughtrey created an epoche of the law when she‚ unlike previous judges‚ based her decision on the recognition of a new category more relevant to the case rather than relying on one previously established. She casts aside conventional thoughts and residual knowledge by declaring the case to present a "question of first impression" which will require the court to act through common law. Although Justice Daughtrey relates

human clone was created in November 1998‚ by Advanced Cell Technologies. It was created from a man’s leg cell‚ and a cow’s egg whose DNA was removed. It was destroyed after 12 days. Since a normal embryo implants at 14 days‚ the embryo could not be seen as a person before 14 days. While making an embryo‚ which might have resulted in a complete human had it been allowed to come to term‚ the aim was ’therapeutic cloning’ not ’reproductive cloning’" Dolly‚ a Finn-Dorset ewe‚ was the first mammal to

The idea discussed in this case was Extend Fertility. Extend Fertility was founded by Christy Jones in the early 2000’s and during her time at Harvard’s Business school while pursuing her MBA. When she began her time at Harvard she had to put certain thoughts on hold such as marriage to her serious partner because she knew she would be very busy for the next two years while at school. Jones read a book titled Creating a Life: What Every Woman Needs to Know about Having a Baby and a Career by Sylvia

When cloning an individual a scientist would take that individuals DNA from a skin cell‚ put their DNA into a woman’s egg‚ where the DNA has been removed. Then a zap of electricity would make the egg divide and after a few days there would be an embryo identical to that individual (2002‚ Human Cloning). There are It is argued that human cloning should be permitted because of one of the most fundamental elements of personal freedom‚ the right to reproductive freedom. Individuals have the right
