The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer SCNT is a laboratory procedure where the purpose is to copy, reproduce, a live creature or CLONE it. The nucleus of a somatic cell, any cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cell, the cytoplasmic factors influence the nucleus to turn into a zygote. As a result, the egg undergoes a blastocystic stage and it creates the embryonic stem cells.
The process takes two cells, one is the donor of the nucleus and the second the receiver of this nucleus. The cell that the nucleus was removed from is now denucleated or deprogrammed, like a factory able to produce a live being but now it has no program. The addition of the new nucleus from the other cell will redirect the production of new cells …show more content…
2- Restoring the organ can restore life. Regenerative medicine is on the way already.
3- Gland donation will be simplified as today the medicine of transplants faces the problem of finding donors.
4- As mentioned in this article Genetic rescue of an endangered mammal by cross-species nuclear transfer using post-mortem somatic cells, Pasqualino L., and all (October 2001):
" Here we report the successful cloning of a wild endangered animal, Ovis orientalis musimon, using oocytes collected from a closely related, domesticated species, Ovis aries. We injected enucleated sheep oocytes with granulosa cells collected from two female mouflons found dead in the pasture. Blastocyst-stage cloned embryos transferred into sheep foster mothers established two pregnancies, one of which produced an apparently normal mouflon."
On the other side the same technology of cloning …show more content…
The depth of the social and ethical issues involved need extensive legal and political resolutions of how this experiments (for now) may not turn into an industry that may endanger human rights. Here in this article": The Ethics of Embryonic Stem Cells-Now and Forever, Cells Without End by Juengst E. and Fossel M. (Dec. 27, 2000):
"The ethical issues are not primarily matters of scientific fact nor of political belief. Consequently, these issues cannot adequately be addressed simply by reference to the biology of embryonic stem cells or the contemporary political context of stem cell research. To successfully make the case for developing the therapeutic potential of human embryonic stem cells, the biomedical community must engage these issues as genuine questions of morality and social policy. Just as an accurate understanding of stem cell biology is crucial to sound policy making, an accurate appraisal of the substantive and inseparable ethical issues is equally crucial. The biomedical community and society as a whole can answer these questions and justify the clinical promise of embryonic stem cell research but only by paying serious attention to the legitimate ethical
