Extractions: var base_url = "http://www.lotsofessays.com/"; Biological science has advance more rapidly than any other science in the past few decades. With the birth of a cloned sheep named "Dolly", what was formerly the stuff of science fiction is now reality. The capability of cloning has sparked ethical, social, religious and public policy debate. Despite these debates which often portray scientists as "playing god", cloning should be advanced for its potentially enormous medical benefits . Infertile couples, those who suffer from Parkinson's disease, burn victims, and those in need of organ transplants will all benefit from the biological processes involved in cloning. Xenotransplantation is "the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from one species of animal into another" (Wilmut, Campbell and Tudge 253). While there is little doubt that cloning is a sophisticated process with as much potential for abuse as good, there are too many valid medical benefits that will accrue from its use to let religious and public concerns alone halt research. We will now investigate some of the promising benefits cloning and its processes will provide to humankind. A conclusion will address other potential benefits that will accrue to humankinds from cloning and its processes, but it will also provide the reason why this process needs strictly regulated. The process of cloning involves nuclear transfer that has enormous potential medical benefit. One of the most promising forms of research ha
Ban On Human Cloning Is For The Best - The Tech
Ethical concerns involved with the potential for human cloning.
http://tech.mit.edu/V117/N16/cloning.16l.html

Extractions: on the web HOME NEWS OPINION ARTS ... PDF of This Issue In his column, A. Arif Husain '97 ["Critics of Cloning Can't Accept Change," March 21] argues that President Clinton's decision to ban research on human cloning is a case of uninformed governmental meddling and obstruction of scientific research. Husain believes that fears of human cloning are founded in ignorance and an archaic fear of new developments in science. Upon more careful evaluation of the issue, however, a different picture emerges. Husain suggests that selectively mating two animals is no worse than selectively cloning one of them. The issue at hand concerns not animal cloning but people cloning. Equating selective mating and cloning on a moral level may or may not be valid, but it is a moot point because selectively breeding humans is an idea that repulses most people. Arguing for the potential positive benefits of human cloning, Husain writes, "Cloning may allow us to weed out genetic disease, enhance desirable traits, even deliver made-to-order progeny." Some of these ideas are precisely what bother many people. During World War II, the Nazis implemented a program of eugenics with the aim of eliminating "undesirables" from the human gene pool. Setting ethics aside, from a purely biological point of view, when you begin to artificially manipulate the gene pool by cloning, you may lower diversity and place the population at an increased risk for death on a large scale because of environmental changes.

http://afgen.com/cloning.html

Extractions: There is some misunderstanding about what constitutes a clone. A human clone would be the genetic identical twin, a generation or more younger, of the donor (not the surrogate mother) who provided the nucleus. But because people are more than a product of their genes, a clone would have its own personality, character, intelligence, and talents exactly as identical twins do (who are natural clones stemming from the same egg). You cannot clone a person's brain or mind, and chance factors, the environment, and a person's experiences contribute to individual traits. This means that even if you wanted to, you cannot duplicate your identical self. Even if you were to clone yourself several times, you would not be able to create the same person each time because every human life, no matter how conceived, is unique. A cloned Hitler would not necessarily grow up to be a mass murderer nor would a twin of Mother Teresa become a humanitarian. It is also impossible to copy a deceased family member or a past historical figure through cloning the cells from their corpses. The same applies to dead persons that have been frozen, because you need live DNA to make a clone.

Extractions: About Us Feedback HOME CLONING WHAT IS CLONING? Have you ever wished you could have a clone of yourself to do homework while you hit the skate park or went out with your friends? Imagine if you could really do that. Where would you start? What exactly is cloning? Cloning is the creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another. This means that every single bit of DNA is the same between the two! You might not believe it, but there are human clones among us right now. They weren't made in a lab, though: they're identical twins, created naturally. Below, we'll see how natural identical twins relate to modern cloning technologies. How is cloning done? You may have first heard of cloning when Dolly the Sheep showed up on the scene in 1997. Cloning technologies have been around for much longer than Dolly, though. How does one go about making an exact genetic copy of an organism? There are a couple of ways to do this: artificial embryo twinning and somatic cell nuclear transfer. How do these processes differ? 1. Artificial Embryo Twinning

Extractions: http://jetpress.org/volume13/bainbridge.htm by William Sims Bainbridge, Ph.D. mysite.verizon.net/william.bainbridge/index.htm Religion is among the most powerful factors shaping attitudes toward human reproductive cloning. This article explores this influence with both quantitative and qualitative data from a major online questionnaire study, , that was sponsored by the National Geographic Society and the National Science Foundation. The interpretations offered in this article are based in the New Paradigm theory of religion, that stresses the capacity of religion to resist the secularizing influence of science. The controversy over cloning in part illustrates the possibility of heated future conflict between religion and science. The views expressed here are those of the author, and do not necessarily reflect those of the journal's editors, nor of the two organizations that sponsored Religion is among the more powerful factors that shape attitudes toward human cloning. This is an interesting empirical fact that deserves sociological scrutiny in its own right, both to document the extent of this influence statistically and to explore its intellectual roots either in theology or in the cultural environments surrounding particular religions (Campbell

Extractions: [an error occurred while processing this directive] Biological cloning is the process of creating a genetically identical copy of another living being, be it human, plant, or animal . Clones can occur both naturally and unnaturally through advances in technology. Clones occur naturally during the asexual reproduction of some organisms and unicellular micro-organisms, or when two genetically identical individuals are produced accidentally, as when two identical twins develop from one single fertilized egg. Unnaturally occurring genetic animal cloning has been a highly scrutinized and controversial issue around the world since the successful cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1996 at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Genetic cloning occurs when a body cell is taken from an embryo in an early stage of development. The nucleus is then transferred to an unfertilized ovum from which the nucleus has been removed. The daughter cells from the earliest divisions are removed, and grown in culture or implanted into host mothers. Genetically identical offspring to that from which the original cell was taken is then produced.

http://jcoward1.home.mindspring.com/CLONING.htm

Extractions: The critics of human cloning say that it will be too open to misuse and that only the most radical elements of society (such as the Raelians) would ever propose it in the first place. In addition, there is the legitimate concern of medical ethicists that until cloning techniques are perfected, they will be more likely to produce deformities than normal means of reproduction. Until these technical problems can be resolved, the ban on cloning is justified on these grounds alone. More research and experimentation needs to be done to insure a high probability that cloning will work as advertised, and that it will actually be able to produce flawless replicas of the originals. But, once the few remaining technical problems that surround human reproductive cloning have been solved to the satisfaction of the scientific community, legislative debate over cloning should resume, if for no other reason than because of the inevitability of cloning. Currently, cloning is still being discussed at its periphery, as a hypothetical issue, rather than something that is upon us here and now. But soon, and in spite of bans and stiff penalties for their violation, human cloning will be a reality that legislators and the general public will have to deal with. Human cloning is an inevitability. Now is the time to begin to shape legislation to deal with the ethical issues that surround cloning. At the point where human cloning actually occurs, legislators will be forced to deal with the ethical issues that surround cloning in earnest. Soon governments will be compelled to move from simply banning the practice to designing the legal framework in which cloning can legitimately take place.

Today as in many instances science has caught up with science fiction. We are told we now have the ability to improve the overall quality of life through genetic engineering. We will soon be able to enhance our own intelligence, whether its through a chip implanted in the brain to make one smarter or have the blind see, and the deaf hear, or by gene splicing to give what is missing or correct what is flawed. Can wisdom enhancing agents be built in man that would have him go beyond any natural capabilities many say yes. This new technology will not just affect a few people. It will directly affect the whole world we live in, as this technology will dominate the new century if allowed. Science allowed us previously to arrange the building blocks of life, now we can add or subtract them. We now hear of Head transplants in monkeys, headless frogs, cloned sheep, designer humans, we are entering a very different world now. Nuclear transfer has been done before (which is a clone from the Nucleus of an adult cell), it was performed successfully on tetra, a primate who recently made the news. Most of us have not considered the ramifications of this new science breakthrough that is just now making the news. Eventually we will have to make up our minds about how we feel about cloning. I'm in no position to speak scientifically on these matters but I have looked at what is being said and for us to think through the ramifications of what will soon occur
