In 2004 and 2005, Hwang Woo-Suk’s research group published two land mark papers in the field of embryonic stem cell (ESC) research. In these publications, Hwang claimed to be able to create patient specific stem cell lines (Normile 650). Hwang’s discovery received immediate attention from scientists worldwide for not only the impact it could have on disease treatment, but also the social implications. First, the research identified a way to generate human stem cells without needing to take them from

CLONING IS BENEFICIAL FOR ENHANCING MANKIND'S KNOWLEDGE OF MEDICINE Eliza B. Długopolska Jerome High School English 12A Mrs. Nicole Waitley Friday, 3 November 2017 Abstract Cloning is a new branch of medicine. Though medicine is already well developed it will be always evolving. Now the scientists are focused on cloning. Many people seem to be frightened, but progress is inevitable. Cloning can be very beneficial if it is used properly. In order to clone an organism, the scientists must
For as long as humans have studied the idea of reproduction, they have typically considered the process to be between a male and a female, or in the case of asexual reproduction, between two gametes. However, scientific discoveries of parthenogenesis challenge this idea. Parthenogenesis is a process in which a viable embryo can be produced from two eggs without the presence of sperm. Although the artificial recreation of this process in humans and vertebrates has not been accomplished, scientists
Cloning is a very important scientific and medical discovery. Therapeutic cloning especially. Therapeutic cloning is the production of stem cells for organ and tissue repair. The stem cells would be provided from an almost exact clone of the person. There are types of cloning that are banned though, such as reproductive cloning (the production of genetically identical individuals) as of 1996, and no cloning is allowed to receive federal/government funding in the United States of America. While some
Cloning is, and always has been an extremely contentious topic. To some, the ethical complications surrounding it, are far more promiscuous than what scientists and medical experts currently acknowledge. Cloning is a general term that refers to the process in which an organism, or discrete cells and genes, undergo genetic duplication, in order to produce an identical copy of the original biological matter. There are two main types of artificial cloning; reproductive and therapeutic, both of which
For instance, cloning is banned due to human ethics. Therefore, scientists conducted cloning experiments on animals. In 1996, Ian Wilmut succeeded in cloning sheep, known as Dolly by using somatic cell.After in 2005, based on Wilmut’s success, Woo-suk Hwang brought the first cloned dog Snuppy into the world. Data of cloning animals are so important because some animals, like dogs, have similar gene structure to human. By cloning experiments on animals, now huma... ... middle of paper ... ...angered
When the news first came out in 1996, Dolly the sheep was a global phenomenon. After 277 attempts, she was the first mammal cloned from an udder cell taken from an adult sheep (Lerner 2014). The success of this experiment paved the way into the world of animal cloning for many researchers and scientists to search for multiple uses that cloning could provide. However, cloning also comes with complications and obstacles to overcome. The many methods, benefits, and successes of animal cloning have
