Stem Cells and Therapeutic Cloning
Stem Cells and Therapeutic Cloning Embryonic stem cells were grown in a laboratory successfully in 1998. At that time researchers were able to have the stem cells begin copying themselves without becoming anything further (Easterbrook, 2000). This was an exciting time for researchers to begin discovering this new technology. The therapeutic cloning process begins when the nucleus is removed from a human egg and replaced with the nucleus of a body cell from the person

Reproductive Cloning
Reproductive cloning is a technology used to generate an animal that has the same nuclear DNA as another currently or previously existing animal. Dolly was created by reproductive cloning technology. In a process called "somatic cell nuclear transfer" (SCNT), scientists transfer genetic material from the nucleus of a donor adult cell to an egg whose nucleus, and thus its genetic material, has been removed. The reconstructed egg containing the DNA from a donor cell must

The Possibility of Human Cloning
Introduction The possibility of human cloning, raised when Scottish scientists at Roslin Institute created the much-celebrated sheep "Dolly" (Nature 385, 810-13, 1997), aroused worldwide interest and concern because of its scientific and ethical implications. The feat, cited by Science magazine as the breakthrough of 1997, also generated uncertainty over the meaning of "cloning" --an umbrella term traditionally used by scientists to describe different processes for duplicating biological material. What is cloning? Are there different types

Therapeutic Cloning
Therapeutic cloning is when a cloned embryo is formed by putting a nucleus from the patient’s cell into an egg without a nucleus. The cloned embryo then divides multiple times and forms into a sphere shape called a blastocyst (day 1-5). These embryonic stem cells are now visible and can be developed into any of the bodies 200+ tissue cells (day 5-7). After this stage the embryonic stem cells are removed and grown in a
