Ian Wilmut‚ (born July 7‚ 1944) is an English embryologist. An embryologist studies the development of an embryo from the fertilization of the ovum to the fetus stage. Currently he is director of the Medical Research Council Centre for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Edinburgh. He was granted an OBE in 1999 for services to embryo development. Wilmut worked as a farm hand on weekends during school‚ which inspired him to study Agriculture at the University of Nottingham. He chose to study

Silver‚ 1997. On February 23‚ 1997‚ Doctor Ian Wilmut successfully cloned the world’s first mammal‚ giving the world a harsh wake-up call to the state of its technology. The implications of an effective somatic cell nuclear transfer in mammals are tremendous. The use of cloning for research purposes

when discussing cloning; Is it possible to clone a human? Instead of providing the audience with her own opinion. Weintraub choose to state and quote the opinion of Ian Wilmut. Who is one of the scientist that is responsible for the birth of Dolly‚ the cloned sheep. Although it was once hoped by many to soon be able clone humans‚ Wilmut doesn’t recommend it. He deems it may be possible but‚ “Just because it may work in the sense of producing offspring doesn’t mean to say we should do it.” He also believed

Instead‚ the article “The Moral Imperative for Human Cloning” which was published in 2004 by the Scottish embryologists Ian Wilmut talks about the bright side of cloning and how cloning could benefit the health care industry immensely.

created in 1996‚ she is not an normal sheep. She was cloned by a six-year old sheep during the final stages of her pregnancy. Dolly was created by Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh‚ Scotland. He extracted a cell from a oocyte (unfertilized egg) that was ready to be fertilized and placed it in the nucleus of another sheep. Wilmut and his staff removed the nucleus from the oocyte and then used electrical forces to fuse the udder cell of the other. They prepared 277 fused cells and

Discursive essay – Should cloning be banned? The subject of human cloning is a very controversial topic. The cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1997 by scientist Ian Wilmut generated a very unexpected reaction around the world. However these reactions were not all positive. Cloning refers to the development of offspring that are identical to their parents genetically. While it is referred to as an unnatural process‚ it can occur quite often in nature. Identical twins‚ for example‚ are clones. However

Before the famous Dolly the Sheep‚ cloning was not quite what it is considered today. The first example that could be considered “cloning” took place in 1885. Hans Adolf Edward Dreisch discovered that if he shook the two-celled embryos of sea urchins‚ the cells could separate and grow into two identical sea urchins. A couple decades later in 1902‚ Hans Spemann decided to find out if he could do the same‚ this time with salamander embryos. These embryos were stickier than those of sea urchins so

D. in animal genetic engineering‚ and Richard Seed‚ who founded Fertility and Genetics in the 1980s.
