cloning
We have seen comic material in the movies and on television. The entertainment industry usually shows it in a humorous situation such as Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzennager as genetically engineered twins while Michael Keaton was duplicated to make his life easier. Cloning is only achieved after intensive research and experimentation where as in the movies; it is made out to be as easy as 1, 2, 3. Even though animal and human cloning has only been announced recently to the public, it has been around for the many decades, and is very beneficial to our future generations. In 1938, a German scientist by the name of Hans Spemann came to the conclusion that organisms can, in fact, be reproduced. His belief was that by transplanting the central element of one animal's cell into the egg of another animal, the animal could be reproduced, or "cloned". Dr. Spemann believed that the central element or "nucleus" of a cell contained the genetic blueprint for the structure of the organism. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1935 for his discovery of what he called the "organizer effect" ("Bio of Hans"). After Spemenn's discovery, there were two other tries to replicate what he did. The first was in 1952, when American scientists t
Cloning has gone from cutting plant stems to produce new plants to cloning frogs. Animal cloning would also allow an effective study of human genetic diseases such as systic fibrosis and Down's Syndrome. On top of that, the patients then have to wait and see if the organ is the right size and if the body will reject the organ. These ewes were to act as the surrogate mothers. Researches that will allow scientists to further study the process and benefits of cloning. " National Bioethics Advisory Commission Volume II: Report and Recommendations, Commissioned Papers, Rockville, Maryland: Government A7-A9. ried by infusing the nucleus of a frog's embryo into a frog egg, but this attempt resulted in failure. Actor, Robin Williams posed this question at a recent benefit honoring Christopher Reeve (Christopher Reeve, ABC).
