Cloning It all started as science fiction, something along the lines of pod people. Then this small branch in science fiction grows to be a very popular idea. Then real scientists start believe that it would be possible to clone someone. Finally it happens this small idea of science fiction ...
The science of biology has evolved to the point today that an animal's basic nature can be quickly and permanently changed by altering its generic structure. The possibilities that the genetic engineering of animals can bring us is endless; from the Harvard-Dupont mouse prone to developing ca...
There are many scientific benefits to cloning. Cloning is defined as the making of a precise copy of a molecule, cell, or individual plan or animal. The scientific benefits of cloning are endless and know no boundaries. The reason that it knows no boundaries is because not all forms of cloning a...
Cloning Cloning is a form of genetic engineering in which the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of a person, animal ,plant or bactirium is used to produce a perfect or near perfect genetic replica of the original...meaning a new individual is created from a single cell. Despite its relativaly new int...
Let's Make the World a No-Clone Zone "Let's Make the World a No-Clone Zone" is a very straightforward and powerful article which lists many reasons why anything and everything about cloning should be illegal. In her article Therese M. Lysaught acknowledges there is plenty of f...
Early in 1997, Scottish scientist Dr. Ian Wilmot revealed to the world that he had successfully cloned an entire adult sheep. Dolly was the young clone's given name. With this announcement, the world made a collective gasp at the realization that no longer was cloning a "pipe dream" or an ...
In his 1930's futuristic novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley predicted a society where the human race was created in a laboratory and carried to term in incubators. At the time it was regarded as being ludicrously impossible. The idea of cloning in the eighties required multiple reproductio...
A process that has been researched and debated for decades, and for a while thesubject of science fiction novels, magazines, and television shows, is today a practicalreality. News of successful cloning of an adult sheep generated an outpouring ofethical concerns in 1997. These concerns were not a...
In this day and age Cloning is a large topic. This topic entails many moral and ethical issues. Cloning research is being done across the world and has been preformed many times with animals and humans. Why is cloning such a touchy topic? Is it because are people afraid of a modern day Frankenst...
Medical Science of the 22nd century: Stem Cells Stem cell research is a new and controversial topic these days. Stem cells a re used to treat many once incurable diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's, and other neurological diseases. The limited success with animal stem cells has lead docto...
On February 24, 1997, the world was shocked and fascinated by the announcement of Ian Wilmut and his colleagues. A press release stated that they had successfully cloned a sheep from a single cell of an adult sheep. Since then, cloning has become one of the most controversial and widely discussed to...
What are Stem Cells and what are the aims of Stem Cell research?Stem cells are un-programmed cells in the human body that can be described as "shape shifters." These cells have the ability to change into other types of cells. Stem cells are at the center of a new field of science called regenerative...
Research Paper: CloningToday, humankind lives in a world of technology, technology that is rapidly advancing and presenting more ways to improve life. The cloning of animals and humans are part of this technology, parts which can ultimately lead to the reassurance and pro-longing of life as we now k...
Twenty years ago, scientists only theorized that they could modify living organisms. However, what was once only science fiction is becoming today\'s reality. Genetic Engineering can always be an advantage to someone. Jeremy Rifkin, president of the Foundation on Economic Trends, stated that \"not t...

Cloning and stem cell research, which have been a big issue ever since Hans Spemann first raised the question of nuclear equivalency in 1938. The controversy behind cloning is that this will give scientists too much power, and many people believe that cloning should not be allowed because it is aga...
The Controversies with CloningThroughout the past century, the United States as well as many other countriesaround the world have made astonishing advances in technology. Many of the conceptsand devices that are so common to us today, were once illustrated only in the plots ofscience fiction films....
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are considered the ultimate stem cell because of their dual ability to proliferate and to differentiate into all the cells and tissues of the body. But they are ethically contentious because five-day-old embryos have to be destroyed to derive them. Adult stem cells show pro...
Imagine that you go to your doctor's office for a routine check-up. A few weeks later, he calls you to his office to inform you that you have been diagnosed with a rare, usually fatal type of cancer. As he describes your options for treatment, he tells you that your best hope lies in a therapy that ...

Heated debates between presidential candidates, party members and even neighbors are hard to ignore, especially with constant media coverage. One of the hot topics in th...
Before giving this assignment to work on I was 100 percent against stem cells research. But due to extension research I found out that stem cells can provide us with a myriad of possibilities in medical technology, but not without bringing with it serious moral and ethical dilemmas. For the s...
