SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS CAN DESTRO
SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS CAN DESTROY THE MORAL AND ETHICAL FIBRE OF SOCIETYScientific progress can destroy the moral and ethical fibre of society, well that is the question puzzling the people for 70 years. The first attempt at cloning happened in1938 by Hans Spumone he was the first man to successfully make identical twins, that was a break through in science it open many door and from that day many people, have been trying to master the art of cloning and it is not until the 1990's the world really got serous about cloning cause in 1997 "Dolly" was announced the first cloned sheep. As you think about what giant steps cloning has take you will see that scientific progress can destroy the moral and ethical fibre of society but it wont, because after every new breakthrough is announced, there is always another scientist trying to better, go bigger than the first one and eventually you have the same finished result but it perfect and completely flawless. Well in my opinion cloning is the way of the future and it doesn't matter what we do about it eventually the human race will die out and clones will take over, but that is along way into the future today cloning can help in the IVF program also cloning works a lot with genetic engin
eering the list goes on cloning will help the society in so many ways. The topics that will be covered are cloning in medicine, this is a very important break through in medicine imagine being able to clone a heart for a person who needs a heart transplant. In the medical world cloning could be used to full advantage, cloning could cut down waiting list for organ transplants in a huge way. Just imagine your father is dying from heart disease and he need a transplant heart as quick as possible but there is a long waiting list and they can't find a compatible donor heart for the transplant so what if you could get a piece of tissue from the heart and basically clone him a new disease free heart and save his life this is a scenario we would all like to hear it could become reality . Hemophilia is caused by a genetic defect. A Hemophiliac's blood does not contain the gene that makes what is known as clotting factor. What clotting factor is when a healthy person bleeds a clot forms and the bleeding stops but in Hemophiliac's they just keep on bleeding. Cloning could make a huge difference for hemophiliacs, Dr Ian Wilmut and his colleagues found out it was possible to alter a sheep's gene so the instruction given to the cell is "don't make milk make clotting factor VIII ". The same cloning techniques that might benefit hemophilia could also be used to treat other genetic disease such as cystic fibrosis which cause a certain gland to let off a sticky substance this settles in the bottom and in make it hard to breath. Scientist at the Roslin laboratory altered the genes of a sheep so that their milk produces a drug called alpha-1 an-titrypsin. Diabetes is another disease that could benefit in
