Cloning The first cloned living animal was duplicated was in 1996. This animal was a sheep named Dolly. This was in 1996, imagine how far cloning as improved today. Cloning isn’t just for animals though, we could clone organs for people in need. This procedure could improve the medical and science field greatly. Cloning Dolly, the sheep, was a very precise and intense procedure. The man who accomplished this task was “Dr. Ian Wilmut at the Roslin Institute in Scotland and colleagues used a…

Cloning has already revolutionized biology and medicine with the appearance of Dolly, “the first mammal ever cloned from a sheep’s adult cell” (Rhind et al. 855). Since then, scientist have tried to clone human cells even though it hasn't been legalised due to moral and religious values. Specialists say is not a matter of whether it should be legalised or not, but a matter of when is it going to be legalised. The question of whether to clone individuals is one that does not require a reply. Now…

Jurassic Park is a movie that people of many ages have loved for many years. The science in the movie is an extension of the true discoveries of molecular biology. However scientists have already been able to clone sheep and mice and they can also change colors in trout to make them easier to catch. To clone dinosaurs in the film they needed a complete set of dinosaur-DNA. The scientist extracted the DNA from the blood of a fossilized mosquito. The mosquito landed on the dinosaur and sucked…

is just one of the many uses for animal cloning. People have always questioned the ethics of the subject though when Dolly was first made. Animal cloning can provide us with clear cut conclusions, antibodies to diseases, actual copy cats, and can be used to solve the endangered species problem. Animal cloning might have some people looking down upon it in the beginning when Dolly…

Could you imagine waking up one morning and discovering that you were just a clone of another person? Could you imagine discovering that your entire life before that moment, didn’t belong to you? Someone else had sculpted and created what you looked like, how you acted, and who you are. In the future, this could be a possibility. The possibility of cloning has become a reality.The debate on cloning has been reinforced with scientific, medical, political, religious, moral, and ethical issues…

The cloning of animals has been happening for several years now, and this has now opened up the likelihood of the cloning of people. Despite the fact that there are clear advantages of cloning to mankind, human cloning is not only immoral, but is also a threat to the natural cycle of life. The idea of someday being able to clone a human scares many people in the United States and in the world. The United States passed a law preventing Federal funds to be used in cloning research and by 2008…

In 1996 Dolly the sheep was born. However, she was not born like most other sheep. Instead, Dolly was cloned from the DNA of an adult sheep. Although Dolly seemed healthy, she died in 2003 after being diagnosed with a progressive lung disease. Dolly was the only sheep out of 277 attempts that made it to a live birth. Would it be safe to take that chance when experimenting with cloning human babies? Some people seem to believe so, and agree with the idea of cloning to have a child. These people…

When Dolly, the first cloned sheep came in the news, cloning interested the masses. Not only scientists but also, even general people started to pay attention to knowing about how cloning is conducted and what pros and cons it has. The news of the successful cloning of an adult sheep Dolly has caused an outburst of ethical concerns. These concerns are not about Dolly, but rather about the possibility of cloning human beings. For the most part, however, the ethical concerns are being lightened,…

Cloning pets, or animals in general, is a controversial topic. However controversial it is, it is still waste of useful money and is generally cruel in nature. While others may root for the advancement in technology, it is not worth the suffering and distress that follows, especially regarding health defects and the surrogate mother. Should we really risk all of that for cloning your pet? Cloning your pet is extremely expensive. According to the article, “Paying $100,000 to Clone Your Dog…

Application of clone Dolly the sheep, born in 1996, was the first mammal have been successfully cloned from an adult cell. However, she died of a progressive lung disease more common in older sheep at a young age. She lived six and a half years while most sheep can live to 11 or 12 years of age. Through the post mortem, it is discovered that Dolly had telomeres that are shorter than others of the same age in the same species. Telomeres are pieces of DNA at the ends of chromosomes that shorten…
