- Human Cloning - Center for Genetics and Society
Research cloning – producing cloned human embryos from which to derive embryonic stem cells (theoretically for customized medical treatment or research) – has been supplanted by techniques to derive pluripotent stem cells from somatic cells
- Reproductive Cloning Arguments Pro and Con
If you cloned yourself, the resulting child would be neither your son or daughter nor your twin brother or sister, but a new category of human being: your clone The great majority of people have an intuitive sense that human beings should not be cloned Arguments offered for and against reproductive cloning are given below
- We’re Getting Closer to Cloning Humans. Here’s What’s Stopping Us.
, the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell, was born in 1997 A council on bioethics called by then-President Bush, and an emergency report by the National Academies, both published reports deeming that the technology was unsafe and should be banned, even for research or therapy Media reports covered every update breathlessly Even Arnold Schwarzenegger got in on the action, starring
- Born This Week: Dolly the Sheep - Center for Genetics and Society
A Star is Born On July 5, 1996, the most famous individual sheep in history was born: Dolly, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell Scientists had cloned frogs previously, but many considered using an adult mammalian cell to produce a new creature with the same genome to be impossible There was no public notice on the day of Dolly’s birth; the announcement was made on February 24, 1997
- Reproductive Cloning Frequently Asked Questions
A: Any effort to create a cloned human being would constitute an unacceptable form of human experimentation If reproductive cloning ever became technically successful, and an accepted practice, it would be much more difficult to prevent other pernicious applications of human genetic engineering technology
- South Korean Scientists Create Worlds First Cloned Dog
This is the same technique used to create Dolly, the world's first cloned mammal, and other animals Hwang said the breakthrough in cloning dogs may advance work on combating diseases by therapeutic cloning with stem cells
- Stem Cells Made by Cloning Adult Humans
The first stem-cell lines from cloned human embryos were reported in May last year by a team led by reproductive biology specialist Shoukhrat Mitalipov of the Oregon Health Science University in Beaverton (see ' Human stem cells created by cloning' ) Those cells carried genomes taken from fetal cells or from cells of an eight-month-old baby 1
- Reproductive Cloning Basic Science - Center for Genetics and Society
Reproductive cloning means creating a genetic duplicate of an existing organism A human clone would be a genetic duplicate of an existing person Genes are strings of chemicals that help create the proteins that make up your body Genes are found in long coiled chains called chromosomes They are located in the nuclei of the cells in your body
