Another Me Cloning. Kind of cool? Kind of scary? Most things in life are. There's always been the thoughts of 'what-if-there's-another-me' throughout history. Well, what else is there to say but that cloning is already here? Many people are familiar with the story of 'Dolly' the cloned Finn Dorset sheep born from a Scottish Blackface mother; but are perhaps unaware that the process has been tried on multiple other animals. The most recent miracle occurring in Japan that resulted in a mouse being

Stem Cell Cloning Research Braden Harrah Marshall University Abstract The term cloning of stem cell is used by scientists to describe many different processes that involve making duplicates of the different types of stem cells. In different types of cases, stem cells are duplicated for scientific study and no new results were found during the experiment of trying to clone stem cells. This led to the experiment that led to the cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1997. It used a cloning technique called

if so, Should humans be able to play God? Cloning has been an idea that the world has awaited and feared for decades. Cloning has been around since the 1950s when 2 scientists made a frog from tadpole cells. In the 60s, scientists cloned frogs again, but this time using cells from older tadpoles. What has just happened recently is the cloning of a mammal. The sheep named Dolly. A MAMMAL born from a single adult cell. The question is: Is cloning good or evil? Some say this is one of the most

closer to an end. Things such as cloning were looked at as something that would happen hundreds of years from now and yet “the first mammal, Dolly the sheep, was cloned in 1997” (Munson 2008). It will still be a long time before humans are cloned, but it is clear that we are discovering new technology at a much faster rate than expected. The human genome can be used to eradicate disease in many different ways now that “the most significant discovery in the history of mankind” (Lecture Notes) is

Two of Us: Cloning Cloning didn’t make a significant impact in culture or science until the first mammal was cloned in 1997. Cloning is the process in which an exact genetic copy of an organism is made. The first successful cloning was of Dolly the sheep. Though this was a huge stride for the scientific community, there has been many public riots against this action. Over the years scientists have researched and there has been several successful cloned animals; however, there have been many unsuccessful

Present, and Future Timothy T. Botts DeVry University: Online FALA10 Sec N Professor Jackie Sexson Stem cells are a difficult topic to breach without heated words arising on both sides of the debate. Research Legislation on stem cells has a long history, but in the United States, it is quite young. It seems with the change in the political powers of America comes a change in the views of stem cell research and its legislation. The NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 was signed into law by President

Cloning Cloning a child would produce a genetic duplicate of a person. The two people would not be parent and child, siblings or twins but a new type of person: a clone. Cloning is a form of asexual reproduction. The technique of cloning has not been perfected. As a senator and a person in the public eye, my views will be examined closely, however my reasons against cloning are both factual and of sound logic. Cloning has not been proven to be a safe process, it erases individuality

Cloning is paradigmatic because it signifies both a specific medical technique and the mode of operation of modern technique. As a specific technique it allows the reproduction of biological organisms, including humans. As a mode of operation it signifies the turning of given phenomena into human-induced processes, and in doing so seeks to control, if not outright eliminate, otherwise given differences. In the latter sense, cloning is equally applicable to biological organisms and cultural artifacts
