Essays on Cloning.

The identity of the characters in a short story, novel, or any work of literature for that matter can significantly affect its plot and aside from identity, there are numerous indicators that a reader can use as a tool to predict a story’s outcome (e.g. tone, catharsis, among others). There are authors who can make a story that is very leading and there are those who prefer to do it in a misleading way. Either way, readers can always make fearless forecasts about what is going to happen in the end of a story and the only way ...

Antepartum testing seeks to prevent fetal death, especially in high-risk mothers. Thorp and O’Neill (2013) stated that the evaluation identifies risks for an intrauterine injury that may lead to death with the aim of offering timely interventions. Apart from this primary role, could the assessment be of benefit in human genetic engineering? Although some scientist opines that genetic engineering in humans has positive effects on humanity, there are many adverse effects. For instance, human genetics tend to mutate over time. As a result, the choice of the “perfect baby” may not be a viable idea on the long-term ...

Introduction

An organism whose genome has been contrived in the laboratory in order to favor the expression the production a desired biologically products is known as Genetically Modified Organism (GMO). In crop farming, livestock production and pet breeding, it has long been practiced to breed selected individuals of species in order to produce offspring’s that have desirable characters (F. J, 2012). This kind of production is through the use of scientific methods including recombinant DNA technology and reproductive duplicating. In generative cloning method a nucleus is removed from a cell of the individual to be cloned and inserted into ...

In the study of ecology, individual is defined as a single entity, separate from other organisms. It can be flora or fauna renowned from other of the same kind. This individual interacts with other organisms within its environment. This is also known as single organism. The study of all individual species in any given area is called autecology. Individual organism has the capacity to adopt based on its evolution. This individual thrives into a specific condition and interacts among other organisms. Individuals adapt to varying environmental conditions which allows them to survive and at the same time reproduce into ...

In this paper, the author focuses on the process of gene cloning, particularly the cloning a TROVE2 Gene to a PNEB193 Plasmid. This paper answers the research question on whether it is possible to clone TROVE2 Genes to PNEB193 Plasmid. Cloning is a complicated process that involves the combination of various significant molecular processes, both natural and artificial; in general, copies of a specific gene can be generated through cloning. The sheer complexity of the concepts and principles surrounding cloning appears to be the major reason why not a lot of researchers delve into the topic and why not ...

Genetic engineering has made significant strides in the treatment of different diseases. Technologies that are employed in genetics have been growing in efficacy in the recent years, and they hold promise in the treatment of diseases proved difficult to treat in the past few decades (Bess 56).

Abstract

The current antiretroviral drugs have been efficient in the management of HIV by suppressing the virus's replication. It has, therefore, helped in changing this virus from a deathly disease to a chronic infection. The utilization of extremely active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) calls for a lifetime prescription to prevent viral rebound by reducing the viral load to undetectable low levels. This high maintenance of treatment and the various side effects of the drugs and non-HIV related morbidity have led to the need for a better form of therapy. There has been an extensive study on stem cell manipulation done to develop gene therapy ...

John Tierney’s article, which was published in New York Times, expounds on cloning of human embryo and its acceptability in different parts of the world with a focus on Europe and Asia. The controversy arising in this regard is whether cloning of the human embryo is morally acceptable or whether its acceptance is an affront to the supremacy of God. Arguments for and against cloning fall into two domains: the religious perspective and the scientific perspective. Some religious factions generally argue that cloning of the human embryo is immoral and is akin to competing with God in the ability ...

Cloning is done by removing the nucleus of an egg and substituted it with the nucleus from an embryonic stem cell animal .A tadpole was produced from an adult cell of a frog by Dr. Gurdon in 1962, but it was welcomed with great distrust since the adult cells cannot assume new ones. He removed the cell nucleus from a developed intestinal cell and injected it into a frog egg. This was to test if the genome could change. The egg was reprogrammed introducing nucleus and the genes were switched to a developing egg rather than duties of an intestinal cell. From the ...

Ahlberg, Jaime, and Harry Brighouse. "An Argument Against Cloning." Canadian Journal Of Philosophy 40.4 (2010): 539-566. Academic Search Complete. Web. 7 Nov. 2013.

Ahlberg and Brighouse argue that the animals and human beings that emerge as a result of cloning are extremely disadvantageous as they are expected to experience particularly short lifespans and vulnerability to disease. While this is the case, they say, cloning is one of the most detrimental inventions of modern technology, as it poses high risks of defect and potential mental complications arising from the impending genetic failures and defects. Ahlberg and Brighouse compare human ...

1. Outline the categories of violence as described by Jamil Salmi.

According to Salmi, the phenomenon of violence has many characteristics, with particular causes per characteristic and with particular causational agents per cause. Violence also exists in several forms, including direct violence, indirect violence, repressive violence, and alienating violence.

Direct violence is characterized by any physical, in-person act causing intended harm. In this category would be included A) any act resulting in death (homicide, genocide, infanticide); and B) any “coercive or brutal” (Module 6, 44) at threatening or resulting in physical or psychological damage or suffering—including rape, spousal abuse, political imprisonment, for example.

Indirect violence is characterized by ...

1. New born screening tests are to detect a newborn baby for different diseases and disorders that might be knowable at the time of the birth. I agree with this practice. The argument against it is that it might taint the babies life since from day 1 the parents will be aware of serious complications. I think this can easily be compared to buying a car. You would want to know what issues you face in the purchase of it.

2. Cloning in biology is when two different animals share the same DNA. So far there has not been huge ...

Science has permeated several aspects of people’s lives. Every little thing uses one scientific principle or the other. Therefore, science does not exist in a vacuum. This paper focuses on Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology as one area of science. Apart from exploring how DNA got discovered and how this technology can be applied in the real world, the paper also focuses on the influence philosophy has had on the contextual development of DNA technology. It will be worth noting that DNA technology is quickly taking center stage in various aspects of our lives. As with other modern advances, DNA ...

Since advancement of technology to an extent where human beings could be cloned, ethics of human cloning have become a debatable issue. Those who advocate and those against have strong reasons to support their opinion. This is an ethics paper where I am presented with a dilemma of saving my sisters life or standing by what I strongly believe in. Cloning presents a serious advancement in technology and would be of great benefit to the field of science and medicine. For example, if cloning was done and proved successful, my sister Dee Dee would be cured of her disease, which would greatly ...

Stem cells are primitive cells capable of forming distinct types of tissue. Due to the remarkable quality, human stem cells are depicted to hold incredible for the development of various therapies to regenerate organs that are damaged as well healing suffering from terrible diseases. Embryonic stem cells are usually derived from human embryos. Their use is relatively controversial since such stem cells are in capacity to be harvested from bone marrow and umbilical cord blood, as well as other adult tissues without harm to the other. `Detailed research regarding adult stem cells is not yet intense and is still a ...

Introduction

Animal cloning has been one of the most controversial, yet promising technology in the modern times. It became one of the aspects of the development of technology, industry and economics among many developed countries. Animal cloning is a process of reproducing DNA fragments or organisms itself from the copies of DNA of the cloned animal (Surhan 24). Animal cloning technology started from reproducing bacterial, plants and insect cells. It became very controversial when they started cloning large animals such as goat, dog and cows. In the modern times, animal cloning has been useful in producing farm animals as livestock (Smith ...

Introduction

Cloning is a term used to describe different methods of duplicating biological materials. Plasmids can be used to ‘clone in a gene’ and then express a given protein in mammalian cells. The type of protein used here is called AWP1 protein which is associated with PRK1. This type of protein is a universally expressed protein and the AWP1 gene is switched on during the early development of a being. The AWP1 may play a regulatory role in the mammalian signal transduction pathways. The AWP1 posses a conserved zf-A20 zinc finger domain at its C-terminal. When it is expressed in COS – 1 cells, the Myc-tagged ...

‘Name’

‘Instructor’s Name’ ‘Subject’ During the later part of the twentieth century, scientists realized the power of genes and found at that by altering the genes of an organism, its biological capabilities can be enhanced. This technology, commonly known as genetic engineering, has since then been hailed as one of the greatest breakthroughs in medical history. Like any new technology, genetic engineering comes with its own sets of pros and cons. However, this technology holds the power to shape human destiny and eradicate many genetic based diseases, and can profit mankind immensely, provided the medical community and ...

Human embryo stem cell research is an emerging field in medical science which has raised serious ethical issues. It is still a matter of debate whether or not this technique should be employed for the research purpose and what would be the end result of the embryo. Since the research process has advanced a lot, the prime focus at the present time is not to decide whether or not it should be done but to determine ways to maintain the privacy. The government looked into the matter of human stem cell research because those derived from animal sources had potential ...

Introduction

The past century has been marked by tons of discoveries made in numerous fields such as technology, science, and engineering. One of the fields where the biggest leaps and breakthroughs have been made within that long period of time was in the field of genetic engineering.

“One person’s abnormality is another person’s life.”-Alice Dreger

The extent to which one person’s abnormality is another person’s life is relative to the scope of anatomical normality or abnormality. Genetic abnormalities that relate to gender, otherwise known as anatomical sexual variation, are part of human intersexuality. Intersex is defined as the anatomical variation from the standard male or female gender, and is a pathological variable that require medical treatment. This means that an intersex child has the sexual anatomy of both genders. Intersex genitals may therefore be a sign of an underlying medical condition, but they are not a medical problem. The notion that ...

A hypervisor is a computer application that allows computers to run more than one operating system. Thus takes place through a process known as virtualization. The software “tricks” the operating system into thinking that it is the only one accessing a given hardware resource. The location of the hypervisor is in between the physical hardware and the OS and presents a virtual hardware environment to all other OS running in the machine. Hypervisors also manages the flow of information between the virtualized hardware, physical hardware and software. A hypervisor has found acceptance in both enterprise and consumer settings. Usually, a computer OS runs ...

Nowadays we have plenty of things our ancestors have no clue, like internet, cellphones, computer viruses and spoofing. Spoofing is the name for an attack when one party pretends to be someone else. The most common spoofing attacks are MAC-spoofing, ARP-spoofing, IP-spoofing, DNS-spoofing and e-mail spoofing. Let’s take a look at each one of ...

It is true that God is the creator of human beings. He gives life to the human beings by making them be conceived and be born. The normal process is known to involve biological processes as a result of the fertilization of the ovum by a sperm. However, it is not obvious that every person will be fertile. To solve the problem of sterility among people who would wish to have children, human cloning has become an option (Pros and Cons of Human Cloning – HRF, 2013).It is a form of external fertilization. One of the merits of human cloning is ...

Description

Cloning is the production of genetically identical plants or animals either a whole or in parts. Therapeutic cloning otherwise known as research cloning or somatic cell nuclear transfer, involves replacement of an embryo DNA with the DNA from a cell removed from an individual, in other words, a somatic cell is fused with an enucleated ovum. The resultant embryo would be allowed to grow for two weeks to form a blastocyst. Then, the stem cells from its inner cell mass would be extracted to grow into a piece of human tissue or a complete human organ ready for transplant. Its DNA is the same as ...

In 1997, the public have been shocked about the announcement of the successful mammal cloning. Dolly, the sheep, is the first to be cloned by Ian Wilmut and his co-workers by the process of transferring nuclear genome (Brock 1). There are issues that arise from the public about the morality and ethics of the research method and objective. They are afraid of what should the next thing that could happen after this technological advancement. On the other side, the scientific world have been fascinated and rejoiced about the announcement of Wilmut. There are many scientists that are excited of ...

Cloning refers to the process of replicating living cells, organs or cells in either human or animals to enable them have a prolonged life. Xenotransplantation is transplanting xenotransplants (cells, or organs or tissues) from one species to another (Joo, 2014). In a situation where my loved one requires an organ like kidney, liver, or heart, then I will choice to accept the replica of the same organ. Since a cloned organ work the same way as the original then, the medical professionals will do the work of xenotransplantation so that the patient regain an ordinary life.

INTRODUCTION In a diverse nation like the United States there are many ideologies, philosophies, cultural “norms,” and belief systems, it is not really surprising that people are not always going to agree. There are many legal, political, and social issues that raise ethical questions that the public cannot agree upon how best to approach and address the debated issues. One of the most heatedly debated issues that exist today is the concerns surrounding stem cell research. Stem cell research has the potential to change the field of medicine and how people are healed. However, all of that potential is ...

Introduction

The discovery of restriction enzymes (REs), bacterial transformation, and agarose gel electrophoresis caused the sudden increase of popularity of molecular biology in the 1970s. Restriction enzymes allow the manipulation of specific sites of an organism’s genes and are commonly used in many laboratories worldwide. Restriction enzymes cut DNA in many different ways and can produce sticky ends and blunt ends (Weaver, 2012). The most abundant type of restriction enzymes is Type II, which require magnesium cations as cofactor (Pingoud et al., 2005). Aside from their popularity is recombinant DNA technology as a “cut and paste” tool, estriction enzymes can ...

Use of Restriction Enzymes in Pharmaceuticals Restriction enzyme, which is also referred to as restriction endonuclease, is a class of enzyme that is helpful in cutting DNA at restriction sites. Restriction sites are particular recognition nucleotide sequences on double stranded DNA having the length of 4-5 base pairs. Restriction enzymes are also known deoxyribonucleases (DNases). Presently, there are four different types of restriction enzymes: - Type I enzymes that are “classical” in nature, e.g. EcoKI, EcoBI, and EcoR124; - Type II enzymes that are “orthodox” in nature, e.g. EcoRI, HindIII, EcoRV; - Type III enzymes ...

Bacillus thuringiensis is a gram-positive, spore-forming soil bacterium. It can be used as a biological pesticide, since it produces specific parasporal crystalline inclusions that have proven to be toxic for some widespread insect pests. That is why currently the main aim of the researches concerning these bacteria is creation and examination of new more effective strains to be used for control of the insect pest populations and development of insect resistant plants. The restriction enzymes are widely used for genome analysis of the different strains. Valicente and da Silva have used restriction enzymes in their study to investigate the genetic ...

The term biotechnology refers to any process that involves biology and technology. Though the term was coined as far back as 1919 by Karl Ereky (Verma et al., 2011), biotechnology was established as a field of applied science only in the late twentieth century with the advent of recombinant DNA technology. Recombinant DNA technology is the generation and application of recombinant DNA molecules or rDNA. In a nutshell, recombinant DNA technology involved the cutting of a fragment of DNA and its insertion into a specific circular DNA molecule called a vector. The DNA is cut by enzymes called restriction endonucleases, and joined to a vector ...

Introduction of restriction enzymes Restriction enzymes are highly diverse set of enzymes in bacteria that are used to identify specific 4- to 8-bp sequences referred to as restriction sites and cleave DNA strands internally at this site. These enzymes protect the bacteria from foreign DNA molecules such as those of phages. Restriction enzymes identify specific nucleotide sequences to differentiate between the “domestic” and “foreign” DNA. It attaches to the “recognition site” and breaks both strands of the DNA (Kufe et al.). Restriction enzymes may include EcoRV, EcoRI, and HindIII. EcoRV belongs to the type II restriction/modification system ...

Abstract Stem cell cloning is one of the biggest advancements the scientific and medical community has ever seen. Despite this amazing discovery, many individuals are finding ethical issues with the act of creating embryos for stem cell harvesting. Some may find this hard to believe because stem cells have the potential to help so many people that are suffering. Ethical issues include religious problems such as the unnatural formation of life, and its disposal, as well as the potential to clone humans. While many believe that cloning humans would eventually prove an ethical disaster, it is clear that ...

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, first published in 1818, has come to have a profound effect on literature, on science and on popular culture. Shelley’s story of an over-ambitious scientist who dreams of discovering the secret of creating life and does so, but with disastrous and fatal consequences is, we might say, well-known, but little-read. Zwinkler (24) writes with wry amusement about an informal survey he conducted among his own sophomores: most of them knew the novel from hearsay and thought that ‘Frankenstein’ was the name of the monster! The students’ visual image of the monster was based on Boris ...

There was a breakthrough in the field of genetics in the year 1996, when the first cloned mammal named Doily came into existence. Clones are nothing but organisms with same genetic makeup, and identical twins are natural clones. There were several previous attempts made to make clones in laboratory using techniques such as “artificial embryo twinning.” But, Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned by “Somatic cell nuclear transfer” (SCMT) technique. In embryo twinning, a fertilized egg, which is in the differentiated multi-cell stage, is separated, and individual cell is allowed to grow into a whole organism. In the case of ...

Introduction

The technique of cloning has added new dimensions to modern science empowering biologists to devise solutions for problems which were difficult to be resolved earlier. Cloning refers to the process of creating an exact replica of a gene, cell, tissue or an organism . The copy, thus created by the process consisting of the replica of genetic material of the original is referred as a “clone”.

Types of Cloning

Cloning can be natural as well as artificial. Natural cloning process can be seen in single celled organisms such as bacteria which reproduce by asexual means and produce an exact replica of the parent bacterium . Identical ...

With the development of modern technologies, the humanity faced a new challenge: how to make life better without destroying the core values of the society? Some inventions and innovations bring undisputable benefits for the world community, however, some require careful investigation and worldwide debates. Human cloning, or reproductive cloning, is one of such arguable topics. Although no human being has been cloned so far, the scientific potential is approaching this goal by quick steps. The humanity will have to make a difficult choice: either to approve, or reject human cloning as such. The essay will argue that human cloning should be ...

The use of forensic science was under estimated about the benefits it could provide to professions including the police and other law enforcement agencies. DNA analysis is one such methodology that is increasingly used by the police force as an investigative method. In instances where the police have been unable to identify witnesses or there was lack of evidence at the crime scene, DNA has proved to be helpful in uncovering useful details. Adding on, at times other investigative techniques have failed, but the DNA has helped in the progress of the case. One of the greatest uses of ...

Therefore, mobile devices call for security measures so that they can be able to achieve their objectives such as integrity, ...

Cloning could be the answer to the pain and suffering of many people around the globe. Human cloning is the asexual reproduction or replication of a human being at any stage of development. It can also be defined as the formation of an identical genetic copy of a human being. Cloning itself is not new as it dates back to the 1970s, where frogs and toads were experimented on. It is principally divided into two types, that is, reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning. Reproductive cloning is whereby there is a creation of a child, whereas therapeutic cloning is the creation of stem cells ...

It is not the clones themselves that cause faults, inconsistent changes to the clones are what leads to the unexpected program behavior. The inconsistent bug fix of particular concern regarding cloned code. When a bug is found in cloned code it must be fixed in all clone instances or the system will probably continue to misbehave and exhibit incorrect behavior. . Clone detection approaches and tools can mitigate these problems. CCFinder, is one such tool. It functions as a multi-linguistic, token-based, code clone detection system and is designed for large scale source code. It permits the transformation of the input source text ...

Introduction

I remain fascinated with the idea of when the first recorded law of capital punishment exists in history and why some Western countries still impose this legal answer to the evil people do unto one another in the 21st century. This academic investigation provides an excellent opportunity for pursuing and answering my inquiry of the first recorded historical documentation of capital punishment as a legal finding for a person found guilty of a crime and exploring the arguments why, in particular the United States – a great Western democracy continues imposing this form of punishment in some of the 50 states.

Science has advanced so much that scientists are now bring extinct animals back to life- they call it de-extinction . De-extinction is done by two methods- cloning and selective breeding. Cloning is a process in which the DNA of an organism that is desired to be cloned is taken out and infused in the cell of another existing organism belonging to the same class. When fertilization takes place in the existing organism, it is able to produce an off-spring that looks exactly like the organism which was desired to be cloned. Selective breeding is the method in which DNA from teeth ...

Cloning has been a subject of great speculation for decades now, with the major breakthrough coming in 1997 after scientist successfully cloned the first mammal, the Dolly sheep. It refers to the process used in the creation of an exact genetic copy of a cell, organism or tissue of an organism. The material, which is genetically a copy of the original cell or tissue, is called a clone. The types of cloning are divided into three; 1) gene cloning in which copies of genes of cell or its DNA are made; 2) reproductive cloning in which a copy of a whole organism is made, and ...

Cloning, a technological advancement in the field of genetics is not readily accepted by society, especially when this pertains to human cloning. In 1997, the cloning of Dolly the Sheep made headlines and triggered fears that human cloning will soon follow. There at least two misconceptions that this paper will focus on. The first one is that the moment a clone is created, it would appear as the same age as the original. The second one is that clones are exact carbon copies of each other. A clone appearing as the same age is not possible because cloning is creating ...
