4. Cloning Humans?

To clone or not to clone: that is the question. The prospect of cloning humans is highly controversial and raises a number of ethical, legal and social challenges that need to be considered. We may have the technology to clone human but we should not do it before we accept cloned human.

How to cloneHow to clone

• Embryo splitting- Artificially splitting a Embryo splitting- Artificially splitting a single embryo at a very early stage of single embryo at a very early stage of development. In the natural process this development. In the natural process this would create twins. However, because this is would create twins. However, because this is done at an early stage and there are usually done at an early stage and there are usually less than eight cells you can only make a few less than eight cells you can only make a few clones.

In this case the nuclear has been removed. In this case the nuclear genes remain the same but the mitochondria genes remain the same but the mitochondria DNA would be different. This has the DNA would be different.

There are 2 sheep, sheep 1 and sheep 2. Sheep 1 is the sheep we are going to copy from.

Here is an example about how to clone sheep.

First we will take some cell from sheep 1's body.

Then we cultivate the cell. What happens is the cell will then start to be active again.

And then we prepare a unfertilized ovum from another female cow.

Next we will take another unfertilized ovum and by using a spoit, we will take out the cell from it.

After we take out the cell we will put the cell that we took from sheep 1 into the ovum that we have just emptied.

By using electric shock we will By using electric shock we will fuse the cell and the ovum together fuse the cell and the ovum together to be one fertilized ovum. This to be one fertilized ovum. This would be the cloned eggwould be the cloned egg..

Then we will put clone egg into sheep 2. The newborn will have the exact same DNA as sheep 1 and could be called cloned sheep.

Dolly ---the world's most famous sheep

Gender: Female

Breed: Mammal( 哺乳动物）

Birthday: 1996 7/5/

Homeplace: Scotland

Father: No father

Mother: Three mothers

Family: 5 Kids

Death: 2003/2/14

Early cloning ---A flock of clones

In 1995 a group of scientists at the Roslin （罗斯林） Institute in Edinburgh（爱丁堡） were looking for a way to modify farm animals genetically.

A year before Dolly‘s birth, they found it. They cloned Megan and Morag from embryonic cells （胚细胞） , grown for several weeks in the laboratory.

Perhaps surprisingly, this breakthrough did not arouse much public - or media - interest.

The challenge

---how was dolly created?

When you cut yourself, new skin grows over the wound because skin cells are 'programmed' to produce new skin. This is vital （ important) while you are healing or growing and even means we can grow some cells - such as human skin - in the laboratory.

In contrast to this, a newly fertilized( 已受精的） egg contains 'stem' cells, which are capable of becoming any of the hundreds of different types of cell in the body - skin, muscle, brain cells etc.

The challenge faced by Dolly's creators was to take a fully programmed adult cell and return it to this state - de-program it.

Dolly the sheep RIP

---- Goodbye Dolly

At 15.30 on Friday 14 February 2003, scientists at the Roslin Institute decided that Dolly, the world's most famous sheep, should be put down. She had been suffering from a progressive lung disease.

Dolly's death, like her birth, is bound to raise fresh fears about the wisdom of cloning.

Why was Dolly important?

The sheep was the first mammal to be cloned using DNA taken from an adult cell. Previously, animals had only been cloned using embryo （胚胎） cells which already have the potential( 潜力 ) to become a complete embryo in its own right( 继承父母的 ). The big breakthrough with Dolly was to make a clone from an ordinary, adult cell - in this case from a female goat‘s udder( 乳房 ).

Cuddly Clone ----cat clone

Mother: Two Mothers

Surrogate （代孕） mother

Gene( 基因） mother

It is the first clone of a pet-type animal.In the issue of Nature they describe this epochal(great) accomplishment, which is a step toward the more difficult goal of cloning a dog. And this scientists’ work is part of a project sponsored( 发起） by wealthy Phoenix( 菲尼克斯） businessman John.Sperling.And It costs one year.

Snuppy

---- 斯纳皮

Birthday: August 3, 2005

Homeplace: South Korean

Gender: Male

Father: One Father

Mother: One Mother

Snuppy stands next to the male Afghan(Its father) hound from which he was cloned. Snuppy‘s surrogate （代孕） mother was a yellow Labrador( 拉不拉多猎狗） .

Family

South Korean scientist Woo-Suk Hwang holds Snuppy, the first male dog cloned from adult cells by somatic ( 肉体的） nuclear cell transfer at the Seoul National University in Seoul, August 3, 2005. Man's best friend joined the list of cloned animals as South Korean scientists led by Dr. Hwang

Great clone

The cloning technique used is not efficient. It took nearly 2,000 eggs to make some 1,000 embryos -- all of which produced just one healthy puppy(animal).And It is one year old now.

His creator has been discredited and controversy has long surrounded him, but scientists confirmed that an Afghan hound named Snuppy is the world’s first cloned dog.

What should we do?

Panda Clone Could Save Species

Chinese scientists say they're on the verge of successfully cloning giant pandas. One of the appeals of cloning is the idea that it might be used to rescue endangered animals, particularly ones like pandas that don't breed well.

How?

During cloning, the nucleus of an egg cell is removed and replaced with the nucleus from a donor cell. But there are not any panda eggs for researchers to use in experiments. So they used a surrogate(reproduction): egg cells from rabbits.

They transplanted the panda DNA into the rabbit egg, where it grew, eventually forming a panda embryo( 胚胎） . The next step will be to implant such an embryo into a host mother （受体） to see whether the clone can develop into a healthy baby panda. If successful,clone pander can be holden.
