History of Cloning Cloning has been present in our world. Cloning is the only avenue of reproduction in the novel Brave New World. The scientists in Brave New World are able mass fertilize, mass produce, and mature eggs in an extreme short amount of time, by Bokanovsky’s process (Huxley 6). Bokanovsky’s process is fictional, but in the real world we have been able to clone. The first idea of cloning was in 1938 by Hans Spemann, called “fantastic experiment” (The Embryo Project Encyclopedia). He…

3.0 MATERIALS AND METHODS 3.1 Materials The main material that used was sodium dodecyl sulphate and Zebrafish embryo. SDS was purchased from Sigma Aldrich with concentration of 99.95%. The embryo of the zebrafish larva was obtained by breeding the adult zebrafish in the laboratory. Furthermore, the other basic materials that was used including aquarium tanks, breeding tanks, water filter, fish food pellet and Instant Ocean Salt. While for the measurement tools that used were pH meter, cylinder,…

Human cloning Human cloning is the process of creating a genetically identical individual, based on a model. Cloning can occur naturally or as an artificial process. The human created, do not emerge from sexual reproduction. First of all one needs to get to know what forms of cloning exist, in order to discuss the question if cloning humans in our real world society is rather something to be in favour of, or to refuse. Cloning can be differentiated in reproductive cloning, which aim it is to…

Therapeutic Cloning Although not a very popular topic, the issue of cloning human body parts is very relevant in today’s technological world. In 1996, Dr Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute was able to successfully clone a sheep named Dolly. Later, in 1998, Japanese scientists were able to clone mice. By the end of the year 2000, thousands of animals were successfully cloned. In 2001, a human embryo was cloned successfully to a 32 cell stage, before scientists terminated it. Had this experiment…

In the novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley appears to be against cloning due to the treatment the creature faces from society, the creatures negative behavior, and how Mary Shelley describes the creature. A clone is a cell, cell product, or organism that is genetically identical to the unit or individual from which it was derived (Dictionary). The term cloning describes a number of different processes that can be used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity. The copied…

Without closely analyzing the book “Frankenstein” many tend to believe that Victor would be a huge part of our advanced research in stem cells and cloning because that was the basis of his work. But they tend not to look at the outcome, just as Victor did when creating the monster. Hungry for knowledge Victor was just like many modern scientists: experimental, curious and bias. A monster was created with two wretched hearts; a baby will be created with two beautiful blue eyes. A monster was…

Dystopian texts often present an exaggerated vision of the world that is vastly different to reality, mostly as the consequence of certain human responses and actions in the past or current society, thus adding to the shocking aspects of the text. Literature of the dystopia genre also challenge preconceptions about the world and the human identity, thus provoking further contemplation about what it means to be human. Kazuo Ishiguro's dystopian novel Never Let Me Go (2005) demonstrates that…

Have you ever thought about what characteristics you would like your child to have? The answer is probably “YES”! We always think about physical and mental traits that we want present in a child. But how many times have all those wishes come true? The answer to this is probably “not a lot”! But now science has once again defied the laws of ethics and nature, and we now have a way! An embryo is one of the earliest stages of reproduction, where all the genetic information starts coming into place…

What is the difference between reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning and what are the ethical issues associated with it? Cloning occurs naturally in nature. We can see this in some plants and single celled organisms, like bacteria, which produce genetically identical offspring through asexual reproduction. Ideas of artificial cloning have been around since 1938 when Hans Spermann proposed his "fantastic experiment" to grow an embryo from an egg with a nucleus obtained from another cell.…

experimental study it is found that the heat transfer rate in notched fins is more than the un-notched fins. The average heat transfer coefficient increases with the heater input. It is clear that for the given heater input, average heat transfer coefficient of notched array is 30 to 40% higher than corresponding un-notched array. The average heat transfer coefficient for notched fin is better than un-notched fins. Also the copper gives more heat transfer rate than aluminum plate. As the…
