Therapeutic Cloning Report

Therapeutic cloning, what is it? Some might think it involves the cloning of a human being. In actuality, it refers to the removal of a nucleus, which contains the genetic material, from virtually any cell of the body and its transfer by injection into an egg (acquired from female) that is not fertilized and from which the nucleus has been removed. Therapeutic cloning can also be referred to somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). To perform SCNT researchers extract the nucleus from the egg, the nucleus stores all the genetic information for any living subject. Then researches take a somatic cell, which is any type of cell that is not a gamete, and extract its nucleus from the cell.

I’m Michael Martinez I am writing this letter to talk about cloning and which on you should vote for. There are two different types of cloning there is Reproductive cloning and Therapeutic cloning. Reproductive cloning is creating organisms that are the same as the old one. It clones plants, animals, and humans. Human cloning is more in Therapeutic cloning it harvest embryonic stem cells for medical treatments. This could be used to to clone human tissue for surgical transplants.

The idea of finding a way to cure people of diseases with their own cells is one that scientists, physicians, and those who are afflicted by such diseases find very enticing. Therapeutic cloning is a process that scientists believe has the potential to achieve such goals in the future. While therapeutic cloning brings with it a variety of potential benefits and innovations, it also carries with it a polarizing ethical conflict that poses a strong impediment to furthering such research and development. By realizing therapeutic cloning for its great potential benefits and world changing implications and disregarding any ethical considerations that may deter such advancement, the proper focus and open-mindedness necessary to achieve success in the field would be achieved. Therapeutic cloning, like all medical endeavors, includes a multitude of challenges and flaws, but no very important medical achievements come about without extensive research and continual attempts at success.

I’m currently a junior in high school. I’m writing this letter to you to share my concern about cloning.

Cloning is a complicated process of creating cells from things other than a sperm and egg cell. There are three basic types of cloning. Gene cloning is the simplest and makes exact copies of segments of DNA. Reproductive cloning, the kind used with Dolly, is when a whole animal is reproduced. Therapeutic cloning is the creation of cells and tissues that are intended to be used for experiments or replacing diseased

There are two sides to the topic of cloning. One side believes it is unethical and should be banned. The other side believes the benefits and possibilities outweigh the problems. The two most controversial types of artificial cloning are reproductive cloning, and therapeutic cloning. Reproductive cloning is the use of cells from a host to create a whole new genetic copy. Therapeutic cloning is the use of embryonic stem cells to create tissue to replace damaged tissue and whole organs.

As for reproductive cloning the entire genetic code is reproduced from a single body cell of an adult individual. The most common technique is somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Scientist first take the somatic cell from the test subject they plan to clone, extract the cell’s nucleus, which includes the cell’s DNA and throw away the rest. Then they remove the nucleus of an egg cell and replace it with the somatic cell. After that step is complete they reconstruct the egg with a blast of electricity to simulate cell division. If the process is done correctly the cell then divides normally and forms a blastocyst, therefore, scientist will transfer it into a foster mother for her to flourish a new animal.

“Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science,” According to Edwin Powell Hubble. Science has been expanding and more advanced with today's technology. Scientific advancements are also making good and bad effects and not everyone agrees with all of them. Cloning is one of the scientific advancements that is expanding and it happens for many different reasons and it has many different effects on society.

Cloning has been one of the most widely discussed and controversial scientific topics in the past decade. Cloning has been applied in many fields including the creation of new breeds of plants and animals. However, the cloning of plants has been practiced for hundreds of years. Cloning can be done on a larger level in animals and has potential benefits. The general process of cloning is to take one cell from the parent making the offspring and parent genetically identical (Tsunoda and Kato, 158-161). In addition by making completely identical cells, we can apply different treatments to different clones to see if they react in different ways. The potential benefits of cloning out way the consequences of cloning. In this paper I will first elaborate on microorganisms. Then I will talk about plants, animal and human cloning, and the controversies in cloning.

Cloning is a process that involves removing the chromosomes from an animal’s egg cell and replacing them with chromosomes taken from a cell belonging to a different adult animal. The copied material, which has the same genetic makeup as the original, is referred to as a clone. There are three different types of artificial cloning: gene cloning, reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning. Cloning is a very delicate process because many cloned animals resemble animals that are born prematurely. The problem seems to found in the genes because certain genes get turned on or off when a cell becomes specialized during development.

For years and years clones have been viewed as a negative thing. But what if cloning could save a persons life, cure them from their illnesses would it still be a bad thing? If cloning could change a person's life for the better and cure them of illnesses isn't that an admirable thing? The cloning of cells could cure so many people from illnesses that would takes years to cure. Cloning should be practiced to improve the lives and health of human beings.

Therapeutic cloning is helpful in creating vital organs. This would be helpful for people suffering from kidney and other disorders, who are forced to wait years for a replacement organ.

There are two main types of cloning that are known about, therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning. Therapeutic cloning is when you take a small sample of DNA and insert into an embryo to make the embryo to have healthy parts. The parts are accepted by our body because they are from your DNA. Therapeutic cloning does not happen naturally in nature and it is asexual. Reproductive cloning is another type of cloning and unlike therapeutic cloning is sometimes occurs in nature. An example of natural reproductive cloning is meiosis and plants. This is asexual as well since it is an exact replica of DNA from one sample. Cloning may have many benefits but it has downsides. Cloning is a crude science that should not be researched upon because of its

The term “Cloning” has, over time, come to encompass a number of sciences and biotechnologies that have emerged from technology developed while aiming for the main and original goal of cloning itself, ie “to propagate as a clone” or “to make an identical copy” of a living organism, which is the actual definition of cloning per se. The main cloning technologies can be put into three categories, Reproductive, Therapeutic and Genetic cloning.

I would support the use of therapeutic cloning in order to produce ES cells to treat diseases and injuries. Many people suffer from different types of irreversible injuries or incurable diseases. Therapeutic cloning is when the nucleus of a somatic cell is placed inside of an egg cell that does not have a nucleus. Once the cells start to divide, the stem cells are extracted from the blastocyst which is later used to grow cells and tissues that are a perfect match for the patient. This could save many lives by because needy patients would be able to get an organ that matches perfectly rather than waiting on a long donor list. If the organ is created out of the patient cell, they wouldn’t have to worry about rejection or other malfunctions from
