    Potter Stewart once said, “Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.” In the article,”Of Headless Mice…and Men” by Charles Krauthammer, it explains how it is unethical for scientists to create human clones for the sole purpose of disemboweling the body for personal needs. These human clones would be human in every form and way, however, a scientist would remove the forebrain. Although the cloning of humans would be promising for people's health…

    Cloning is done mostly so as to come up with cells and tissues that are self reconcilable and can be used for medical purposes to prevent diseases and even for transplant of organs. Cloning has raised a lot of issues in terms of ethics from the church and even in medical fields in regards to how safe it is and its potential to being abused. This article looks at the benefits and risks of cloning for spare part human organs and the prevention of predisposed diseases. Research shows that there…

    Despite the incredible diversity of cells that exist on our planet, they all have a common origin. Whether a red blood cell, muscle, or brain cell, all begin as a stem cell. These stem cells have become both a source of great potential for medical advancement as well as a hotbed of controversy. (Health, Stem Cell Basics, 2016) There are two different types of stem cells, embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Although embryonic stem cells are the ones most commonly heard about, both have…

    Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation. “Some insects, fishes, amphibians, mollusks, crustaceans, cnidarians, echinoderms and tunicates undergo metamorphosis, which is usually accompanied by a change of habitat or behavior”. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki). But this change has been incorporated to human’s life…

    • 6 Pages

    Because science and technology have progressed tremendously over the past few decades, many people have wondered whether cloning humans can be possible. Human cloning is creating an identical copy of a human. There is a possibility that humans can be cloned through therapeutic and reproductive cloning. Therapeutic cloning is used for research purposes whereas reproductive cloning is used for creating an organism. In recent discussions of cloning, a controversial issue has been made on whether…

    Stem cell research is a controversial and sensitive topic that has been debated for over two decades. Millions of people every year die from diseases and accidents, such as cancer or Alzheimer’s. Even though there have been medical advancements in the treatment of cancer, most of them cannot cure cancer completely. However, stem cells has the potential to completely cure many diseases and creating new immunizations. Dr. E Donnall Thomas began stem cell research in 1956 when he performed the…

    homogeneity in the genotype of cells originating from a specific linage. One cell like the other, expressing the same set of genes to carryout functions that they have to do as a tissue; a causality of cells having a common ancestor or a progenitor cell which can be sourced at one point in time of development of an organism. This expansion of one cell into various clones occurs via a process called clonal expansion. The process is not different in cancer cells, there is one cell which would have…

    Therapeutic cloning is cloning to create tissue or organs, even stem cells. But not living subjects. Reproductive cloning on the other hand, the main hopeful outcome is create a living creature from a cell by nuclear replacement. (Healey, J. 2007.) Tissue created by therapeutic cloning have shown promise. It’s been found they are able to create human tissue and hopefully organs, which…

    Medical Center describes stems cells as, “an unspecialized cell that has yet to “decide” what type of adult cell they’ll be,” (What Are Stem Cells). This idea drives the research of biologists and medical professions because it grants them the opportunity to improve degenerative diseases and aid to new finds of medicine. Although many doctors believe stem cells could potentially help solve many of todays medical mysteries, a vast number of the population believe that stem cell research is…
