cloning

[Alicja]

Hello,

On Monday we'll talk about cloning. I'd like you to read an article about this topic. Post your article, vocabulary and a short comment on the forum. I'll give you feedback on your comments on Monday.

Have a nice weekend!

In this article the writter speak about human Cloning.
In a first part, he talk about animal cloning: he explain that the science have had many success in improvement of cloning technology. However he says there is still many failure (there is only 3% of success).
Then, he explain very quickly how does the cloning works.
Then he talk about reprogramming cells which could be a solution for many sickness as Alzheimer.
Finally he talk about legislation linked with social, moral, and ethical problems, and more especially about a law project to ban human cloning.

This article at first explains what is the cloning and the different technics use for cloning at the molecular level. The cloning is not a physical carbon copy of the original. Example, the fingerprints are determined by random combinations during the fetal development. Then, the article expose the danger of cloning. It took 277 attempts to come up with one successfully cloned sheep. But the cloning add some problems of health as obesity, tumors etc..

This article deals with human cloning.
It begins by a question that people may ask themselves: if researchers have used cloning to make stem cells, is it possible to clone a person?
It explains that it is possible to clone a human in theory but it is very difficult. Indeed many babies will be dead when they born or they have to be euthanized because they develop abnormalities before the birth of the first successful clone. So cloning people is unethical.

This article talks about the rebirth of some animals using cloning. Indeed cloning could revive the passenger pigeons or mammoths. These experiences are not approved by the entire scientific community. Some people think that the return of an extinct species is not a good idea because she would not live in the same environment and it would not have the same role. Moreover this is a very expensive process and its interest is limited. However this technology could be used to regulate the food chain.

this article talks about Dolly who is the first animal cloning. In this article, scientiste say that they tried on other animal but it doesn't work because they was defective. Moreover, they explain that it's very difficult to clone perfectly an animal because there are various degrees of genetic replication. At the end, Dolly was the sole survivor of 277 cloning attempts.

Ethical issues of human cloning have become an important issue in recent years. But what is the problem of cloning ? Two people with for one personnality ? Two people with same gems ? If two people had same gems, it is possible to these people have not the same apparence and the same personnality. Indeed, personnality and apparence depend to the environnement, friends and others fact ... So this article talks about the different problem with coloning but it's not bases problems.

This video show you the teaser of Jurassic World. In this video we can see a kind of advertising which demonstrated how inGen co can cloning dinosaurs with the technologie of the DNA. With this cloning scientist can also accurate capacities of dinosaurs.
