61. Cloning And Catholic Ethics
    Explains the Catholic Church s opposition to cloning and stem-cell research on human embryos, with resources from a Catholic ethicist, Pope John Paul II and others.  
    http://www.americancatholic.org/News/Cloning/default.asp
    
    Extractions: The act prohibits people from knowingly attempting to perform human cloning or participating in such a procedure by shipping or receiving an embryo produced from human cloning, whether the cloned embryo is to be used for reproduction or research. A bill to allow cloning for research but ban it for reproduction failed the same day in a 231-174 vote.

    Extractions: Toronto, 2000 1. The Post-modern Condition: Cloning-in-the-world For McLuhan and his followers, hardware is the real news! But since the death of Lady Di, McLuhan has had to eat his own words: the global village showed itself as an ethical world beyond the petty distinction between hardware and software. The Soul was revealed for a long day of mourning, and billions of people celebrated a cloning-of-the-world that media was able to achieve. 2. The Post-modern Decision: Cloning Humans The post-modern decision as judgment does not identify or conceptualize the acts of cloning since it continues to favor difference and to resist integration and truth. The lessons we learned from Levinas, Lyotard, Derrida or Bataille are still valid. Interruption, hesitation, postponement, violence: as post-modern preparations for a different way of acting, these have not yet lost their touch. The folding, unfolding and refolding — as Deleuze described our Being-for-the-world — will not recapture identity or Being or time as means to make our lifeworld more accessible and an easier place. Therefore, Mother Di does not function as an icon and is not a lifestyle commercial which allows instant identification. Instead, Mother Di follows the complexities of truth which Heidegger determined as "aletheia," a timeless interplay of revealing and concealing.

    Extractions: Stem Cell Research Dolly, the first viable clone of a sheep, was created in the following manner. A developing egg cell from the ovary of a sheep was enucleated (had its nucleus removed) and fused with a somatic mammary cell from another adult sheep. This fusion was accomplished by placing the two cells close to each other and passing an electric current through them. The resulting cell, actually a zygote, was then treated in a way similar to that used with in vitro fertilization. ( In vitro The successful cloning of a sheep aroused much interest because of the obvious implication that humans might also be cloned in a similar fashion. Many different animals have been cloned now including mice and monkeys, and it appears quite certain that humans can be cloned. Indeed, human clones may already have been produced. Any such cloning procedure would probably not be advertised because of the strident objections that have been raised against the procedure. Who's Afraid of Human Cloning?

    Douglas Dunn examines ethical considerations. Written by an identical twin (one of nature s clones ).  
    http://www.wordwiz72.com/cloning.html
    
    Extractions: by Douglas Dunn Douglas Dunn Word Wizards The amazing reports of successfully-cloned adult mammals have been followed by a dialogue that is frightening in its fearful and outrageous tone. Once again we hear a chorus of gnashing teeth bewailing the onset of a "Brave New World" and fears of test-tube manufactured babies and a world populated by robotic armies of genetic sameness. But these cries of fear are not really against cloning at all, but merely against the newness of innovation. In their hearts, human beings know that it is not so terrible to have a genetic double. I am an identical twin, now in my late forties. My brother, Dennis, and I look alike. Many aspects of physical appearance, emotions, mannerisms and behavior are strikingly similar. Even now, when we are out together, people often come up and ask with fascination if we are twins. They also frequently remark how wonderful it must be to have a twin. We are also unique individuals with differing opinions, beliefs and lifestyles. Clones would be no more similar than identical twins. On the contrary, they would be more different

    Extractions: Home Thoughts Cloning, including reproductive and therapeutic cloning, is an emerging technology. In this essay, I focus on the implications of this new polemic technology and how it can influence our lives. As a scientist , who works with stem cells in mice, I have an obligation to contribute to educating the public concerning these technologies and the ethical problems they entail. Clones are genetically identical organisms. In other words, organisms with the same DNA or genome. Organisms with asexual reproduction, like many microorganisms, usually have millions of clones because only rare mutations are a cause of genetic change. In mammals such as humans, the existence of clones is limited to divisions of the egg, often called identical or monozygotical twins. Having the same genome does not imply that two animals will be exactly the same. Even identical twins are different to some degree. During development there are always random events, called developmental noise, that are unique to each organism. In addition, changes in education, nurturing, and other environmental factors can lead to noticeable differences between adult organisms with the same genome. In 1997, Ian Wilmut and colleagues at the

With the same genetic structure plus a flash-learning pattern taken directly from the template, a clone should theoretically be completely identical to the original person. But despite that, they're never exactly the same. Maybe some of the mental subtleties get blurred over in transition, or maybe there's something else unique inside us that a flash-learning reader isn't able to pick up.

    Jessica Matthews looks at the realities of cloning after the dust has settled after the Dolly announcement. Washington Post  
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/science/cloning/edit.htm
    
    Extractions: The Washington Post Thinking about the post-Dolly world, let it first be clear that there will never be a human clone in the sense that that word is generally understood, namely as an exact replica of another individual. As applied to humans, a clone is a literary conceit, not a scientific possibility. A cloned sheep proves that it will probably soon be possible to make a genetically identical copy of a person, but that is not remotely the same thing as making another you or another me. This is so because a human's genetic inheritance is not, as the usual metaphor portrays it, a precise and fixed blueprint. It is, rather, a set of changeable potentialities that act on an individual's environment and are acted upon by it. Much more than any other species, we are the result of nature (genes) and nurture (environment) not merely the sum of the two but the product of a constant interplay between them. A physical or emotional characteristic of our environment interacts with a particular genetic endowment to elicit a particular behavior that in turn puts the individual into a particular environment and so on and on in an endlessly complex pattern that makes a person unique.

    Extractions: Home Prehistoric Gallery Cloning ... Resources Perhaps one of the most controversial issues of the new century is that of cloning. While scientists have been able to successfully clone animals, it remains to be seen how the genetic lineage of the subjects ill be altered. Already, we have heard reports that "Dolly", the cloned sheep, is weaker than the original, and has suffered through a series of illnesses, including arthritis. The issue of human cloning has also generated public outcry, with both left and right wing groups agreeing on a ban. One of the most popular arguments is the possibility that in the wrong hands, cloning technology could be used to replicate malevolent individuals such as Adolph Hitler. Hollywood fantasy, or possible reality? The blockbuster hit Jurassic Park, based on the Michael Crichton novel of the same name, introduced the theory that by using genetic material from extinct animals combined with that of amphibians (the only species of vertebrates able to regenerate lost limbs), scientists would be able to bring dinosaurs back to life.

The profound ethical questions surrounding the prospect of the birth of a human clone have received much scrutiny. In recent months, the debate has included the topic of human embryonic stem cell research , which scientists believe could benefit from experimentation using the procedure pioneered by the scientists who produced Dolly. Nuclear Transplantation The International Perspective Nuclear Transplantation This procedure is known as nuclear transplantation, or somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). It involves removing the nucleus, which contains a cell's DNA, from an egg cell and transplanting the DNA from an adult cell into the enucleated egg. Under certain conditions, the egg then begins to replicate as though it were a fertilized embryo.

    Extractions: Cloning is different from natural fertilization which is "sexual" reproduction that occurs when a sperm fertilizes an egg. In normal fertilization the developing embryo (and person) has the genetic makeup or DNA of both parents 23 chromosomes from the female and 23 from the male. The embryo is the unique human organism with a novel genetic makeup having the full potential to develop to adulthood. Human cloning, on the other hand, is a type of "asexual" reproduction, which means reproduction not initiated by the union of egg and sperm. Cloning is accomplished by a technique called "somatic cell nuclear transfer." One takes the nucleus from a body (somatic) cell and transfers it into a female egg which has had its nuclear material removed. Then with an electric current or chemical stimulus the cloned embryo begins to divide as does a fertilized embryo.
