Embryonic Stem Cell Research Embryonic stem cell research is a major controversial issue that is, in fact, "oneof the most profound of our time" ("Bush Announces Position on Stem Cell Research"). Stem cells are essentially primordial cells of a human being which are capable ofbecoming all or...

Human cloning is becoming a realistic possibility as time moves on. Scientists know that this study can be completed. On July 5, 1996, a sheep named Dolly was born in the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland. Dolly was the first clone of a mammal from an adult cell. The birth of Dolly also intr...

Cytology In "Killing immune cells thwarts arthritis", written by John Travis is an experiment discussing the hypothesis and experimentation of Jonathan C. Edwards of The University College London. The topic was rheumatoid arthritis which affects 2.5 million people in the United States...

The article 'Scientists Hopeful About Cloning' (Randolph Schmid, 2001) talks about the recent developments made towards cloning a human embryo. Researchers were able to grow the embryo to six cells before it stopped developing. The clone, however, wasn't able to produce stem cells. Which could be ...

Reading over the original scientific study, we discover that the research team came to a rather important conclusion for the study of the development of biological species. Traditionally, it has been hypothesized that the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (the KT boundary) was the precipitating even that...

Cloning Who has authority over life and death? Certainly is not a human decision, science has given us a variety of advances to achieve better life for humans, animals and plants. To that extent it's agreeable, but to define the way life is conceived? Everywhere in the word we can see how grea...

The science technology and knowledge of science have gradually expand and tremendous improve over decades. Cloning research is one of many enormous breakthroughs in Science. The issue of cloning have always been controversial because there are always been an argument between religious belief and S...

Romantics of the nineteenth century believed that not all sciences are beneficial to man; when one strays from morality and scientific method, the effects are damaging. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein exemplified this belief: science, though not inherently deleterious, becomes injurious when ethica...

On February 23, 1997, news traveled around the world that scientists in Scotland had successfully cloned an adult sheep. What had previously seemed impossible, even to many scientists, was suddenly a reality. The sheep, named Dolly, had only one biological parent and possessed a genetic code identic...
