Cloning Technologies and More
Science, in the past few years has made great strides in the field of mammal reproduction. They've worked for years to find out exactly what happens during a pregnancy, and also how it works. We've come so far in these stages as to gain the knowledge needed to make oral contraceptives. However, I am not writing this report to enlighten you on these subjects, or to debate the ethical issues of them. This report is focusing on the creation of life, not the destruction of one. Up until a few years ago, we've only known one way to reproduce, but now, thanks to the research and endless hours of experiments by those dedicated to finding out if it really is possible another way, there is a new method of reproduction called cloning. I'm not going to debate the moral issues of this subject, but rather tell you how it's achieved.There are two methods of cloning. The first, called embryo cloning, has been achieved years before in frogs, other amphibians, mammals, and once it was tried with humans, however both attempts to do this with the humans failed. The second method of cloning is achieved by using an adult cell, not an embryo. To do this scientists remove an egg cell from a female, and remove the chromosomes
Also, there are teams in different places working on ways to clone just organs of mammals for transplants. However, this is expected to turn out with poor results, because it is likely that the body will reject these organs, as it would others. What may we be expecting from cloning in the future? Try this for size: scientists recently made the news for cloning the first pigs. And pigs are one of the animals more closely related to humans....so, I'll let you make your own inference. Also, the team at the Roslin Institute has figured out how to make a starved cell able to reproduce again. Their patent is still pending. A friend of yours has an ingenious plan to take a cell from a dead person like Hitler, clone him, and try to take over the world, with his help. First off, your friend needs adjustment. Secondly, you couldn't clone him to be the same person, with the same personality as before. Being placed in a different environment, with different situations, he would not develop emotionally as he had before. On the contrary, you could turn him into a little choirboy if placed into the right situations. , nucleus, etc, leaving no way for the mother interfere with the genetic part of the reproduction. However, the parts of the egg cell needed for cell growth and development are left intact. The cell from an adult mammal is then taken away from its owner. Being plac
