Dolly was the first cloned sheep born on July 5, 1996 in the Roslin Institute in Midlothian, Scotland. Her existence was kept secret until February 22, 1997 when it was leaked. she was the first cloned mammal with sparked up lots of controversy
I think, like most topics, there is a heavy side of pros along with cons. This is one of those controversial topics that may have many positives, but has an equal amount of negatives to accompany it. I think for medical reasoning, cloning would be a great idea. But how humane is it? They didn't use cloning hundreds of years ago because nature is supposed to run its course. Having more than one of the same person on the planet is easily seen as unethical but at the same time, if it is going to help studies in the long run, maybe it isn't so bad.
I believe that the cloning of animals could be used to increase the knowledge and advancement in modern medical technology, but with cloning you are creating an exact copy, biologically, of an organism. The problem with cloning a person, even for medical purposes, is a bad idea because the human body cannot stay in "stasis" and they be harvested for, lets say, organs because a body in stasis does not exercise these "organs" so the clone would have to be conscious, but the problem with that is the clone will be an individual at that point and could, in theory, commit a crime and the original person could be blamed for the crime because there would be no way to distinguish one for the other biologically.
I like the video. But a little bit more writing might be good Mr. Moe. Other than that, I think cloning is good for stem cells and stuff. But human cloning is just taking it too far.
I think that cloning is rather interesting probably just because of watching star wars and the possibility of a clone army, but either way interesting blog Stanley.
Great information on the topic of cloning. I find this very interesting and think people should find line on where cloning is acceptable and where it isnt, but there are definitely benefits to it.
I think that cloning anything is wrong to begin with. Transferring a nucleus into another embryo to create a clone is the most inhumane thing that scientists can do and all the research for cloning should not be allowed. Even though its pretty cool that the sheep was cloned, it should not be allowed.
I think the idea of cloning is amazing. I find it fascinating how they did it in 1996 with little technology compared to what they could do now. More text and color would be better.
I find cloning to be a rather interesting topic. Personally i think that if used correctly, we could advance much further in medical technology.
ReplyDeleteWhere do we draw the line with acceptable use of technology? Should we do things like this just because we can?
ReplyDeleteThis seems really intersting and I do know about Dolly I wonder when the first human will be cloned
ReplyDeleteI like your set up with the video first but maybe a little more writting

ReplyDeleteYou have a spelling error in this towards the end. but that't pretty awesome.

ReplyDeleteMy opinion I think cloning is awesome just thinking about it is cool how you could make the exact copy of something or someone
