Cloning: Banned‚ Permitted‚ or Both? According to an article by Willard Gaylin‚ “ cloning is defined as the production of genetically identical copies of an individual organism” (221). Human cloning has been expressed as being a breakthrough for scientists from the cloning of Dolly‚ the sheep‚ in 1996 to cloning a human ear on the back of a rat (“Benefits of Cloning” 2). Nonetheless‚ the negatives of cloning out weigh the positives with the possibilities of catching diseases and the potential for

Human Cloning Doctor Jerome Kassirer once said‚ “I’m willing to hold off completely on any kind of human cloning‚ but I’m not willing to hold off on research that could yield enormous therapeutic benefit.” Human cloning is a controversial topic in science and medicine. While some are all for human cloning‚ others disregard the idea all together because they see the con’s before they can understand the major advantages of pros. But what exactly is human cloning?

Dehumanization of Clones Cloning is the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals that occur in nature when organisms such as bacteria‚ insects‚ or plants produce asexually. Scientists have had limited success cloning mammals as well. Theoretically cloning humans is on the near horizon. Set in England in the late 1900’s‚ the science fiction novel‚ Never Let Me Go‚ Kazuo Ishiguro creates a world in which clones are created as sentient beings who are painfully

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 there are many potential benefits to this technology‚ the prospect of cloning humans has raised many practical‚ ethical and religious

By cloning embryos‚ it is possible to further medical science‚ assist people with physical diseases‚ and doesn’t actually focus around cloning a human. To begin with‚ cloning can be used in the form of cloning embryos to further the field of stem cell research. For example‚ in the article “Cloning Embryos: Scientific Milestone or Moral Offense?”‚ it is stated that‚ “Stem cells taken from adults‚ though less morally questionable‚ are less likely to grow outside the body and are not as versatile as

(Wilmut 1997). Scientists were in part surprised‚ because many had believed that after the very early stage of embryo development at which differentiation of cell function begins to take place‚ it would not be possible to achieve cloning of an adult mammal by nuclear transfer. In this process‚ the nucleus from the cell of an adult mammal is inserted into an ennucleated ovum‚ and the resulting embryo develops following the complete genetic code of the mammal from which the inserted nucleus was obtained.

Cloning and stem cell research have come a long way in the past few decades. Expert scientist have the capability of making an exact‚ physical copy of a living body as well using stem cells to cure genetic diseases. Although these two topics are quite common now‚ they weren’t well known when Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein fictional novel was initially published. The idea of cloning may have been new and debatable at the time‚ but Shelley took the idea with a more fictional perspective. With this novel

Sperm Sexing In Cattle Sperm sexing is an area of bovine reproduction technology which is utilised to improve and increase farm productivity by taking advantage of the difference in the value of males and females in the dairy and beef industry. It is a useful and accurate application in which the desired X- or Y- bearing chromosome is sorted and stored in a straw for later use. Selection of the desired sex is a potential determining factor to increase the genetic progress and farmer profitability
