Dr. Ian Wilmut‚ revealed the birth of a lamb cloned from an adult sheep (Advocate‚ 1997)(Morrison‚ 2001). This research revealed a very high failure rate‚ with only 1 out of 29 constructed embryos developed successfully (Advocate‚ 1997). Failure rates greater than 90% and high morbidity rates strongly suggest its inapplicability to humans (Advocate‚ 1997). Other studies also reveal that cloned mammals suffer high deformity and disability rates (Advocate‚ 1997). The sheep cloned by Wilmut and his

They grew to about 120 cells. A year later‚ scientist Ian Wilmut copied First’s experiment with separate cells from sheep‚ but put the embryo cells into an inactive state before transferring their nuclei to sheep eggs. The eggs developed into normal lambs. Wilmut’s cloned sheep‚ Dolly‚ was born a year later in

One of the most controversial debates in recent history has been the human embryonic stem cell debate. Millions and millions of embryos are not used each year when they could very well lead to a cure for fatal diseases such as leukemia and cancer. As well as become a cure for neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Human embryonic stem cell research has enormous potential to cure many diseases and change the face of modern medicine. However‚ there is much debate

A controversial issue of the twenty-first century is the possible application of new techniques in genetic engineering to produce human clones. Up until now genetic engineering and cloning has been used to clone plants‚ unicellular organisms‚ amphibians and simple mammals. This has led to significant advances in agriculture‚ industry‚ and medicine. Newer techniques in genetic engineering have enabled scientists to clone more complex mammals and opened up the possibility of cloning humans. Although

Cloning occurs when a single cell from one parent organism begins to develop and divides. This development organism has the same make-up as its parent. We know that in sexual reproduction‚ it involves two parents. With sexually production organism

Cloning Today A clone is a group of organisms that are genetically identical. Most clones result from asexual reproduction‚ a process in which a new organism develops from only one parent. The one process of cloning‚ called nuclear transfer‚ replaces the nucleus of an immature egg with a nucleus from another cell. Most of the work with clones is done from cultures. An embryo has about thirty or forty usable cells but a culture features an almost endless supply. When the nucleus has been inserted

If those nuclei were human‚ "the cellular body count would look like sheer carnage" (Kluger). Even Ian Wilmut‚ one of the scientists accredited with the cloning phenomenon at the Roslin Institute agrees‚ "The more you interfere with reproduction‚ the more danger there is of things going wrong". The psychological effects of cloning are less obvious‚
