| Scientists aim to bring mammoth back to lifeThe Yomiuri ShimbunMammoths, which went extinct about 10,000 years ago, may once again walk the Earth.A team of researchers will attempt to resurrect the species using cloning technologies after obtaining tissue this summer from the carcass of a mammoth preserved in a Russian mammoth research laboratory. It has already established a technique to extract DNA from frozen cells."Preparations to realize this goal have been made," said Prof. Akira Iritani

The control and manipulation of genetic material has become common place in our society. What was once the dream of science fiction authors and fans has become reality. Such topics as stem cell research, in vitro fertilization, and cloning have created quite a stir in scientific communities. However, these advancements do not come without a cost, or without ethical dilemmas. First, a definition of these terms is required. Following that, we will explore some topics and the ethics associated with

stem cells, cloning of animals, the debate of human cloning, and gene therapy. Some terms that were new to me included: nascent, which basically means to be born; hubris which means full of pride; meliorist, which is a human’s effect on societal improvement; and the term despotism, meaning complete power or authority. In the reading on the President’s Council on Bioethics the council agreed that reproductive cloning was unacceptable. However it was not unanimous on therapeutic cloning. Majority

Advantage of cloning 1. Human cloning * Heart attack Treatment Dr. Richard Seed, one of the leading proponents of human cloning technology, suggests that it may someday be possible to reverse the aging process because of what we learn from cloning. Human cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged

The Island In an isolated building, thousands of people are trapped. A theory goes around this building among the people who lives there. All the people are ‘’the survivors’’, who has survived something, which has killed every other person outside the building. There is absolutely no life outside this particular building. They are lucky to be here, because they were rescued. Their only hope in life, is to win some kind of lottery, which means they are going to be moved to a sacred place called

Cloning Should cloning be funded by the government? I for one believe the U.S. Government should fund cloning because cloning can cure disease, endangered species could be saved and we’re taking steps towards immortality. The U.S. Government should fund cloning because cloning can cure disease. Cloning has been proven to recreate cells that may not function correctly. ACT’s Dr. Robert Lanza predicted that work like his will revolutionize the field of medicine, providing novel treatments for Alzheimer’s

A clone writes Sharing your DNA with someone does not make you the same person, says Lowri Turner By Lowri Turner, Friday January 10, 2003 The Guardian 5 I am a clone. Even writing that feels odd. I might as well say I am a tomato, or a VW Beetle, or a leather three-piece suite with free footstool from DFS for all the resonance the word "clone" has for me. I don't feel like a clone. I don't think I look like a clone. And yet, strictly speaking, I am one. I am an identical twin. I am an exact

Human cloning occurs naturally with phenomena like twins and triplets, but the same outcome of a genetically identical individual created in a lab is not as well received. Over the years, cloning has transformed from a thing of fantasy to one of reality. Current research is bringing us closer than ever to cloning humans, but what will happen if we succeed? The word clone is defined as being an exact genetic replica of a molecule, cell, plant, animal or human being. The term cloning refers
