Cloning has been one of the hottest topics in biotechnology and biomedical research for the last several years. Not to be confused with gene cloning, molecular cloning, or cell cloning, whole organism cloning results in a clone as defined by the Encyclopaedia Britannica as "an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent and that is genetically identical to it."( ) The idea that a higher organism could be a clone of another is certainly not new. Among animals, twinning occurs naturally, producing two separate organisms with the same genetic makeup. Scientists in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's demonstrated that they were able to clone frog tadpoles from frog embryonic cells using

WASHINGTON (CNN) Discounting fears of critics who argue the technology is not ready, a team of reproductive specialists is expected to announce plans Tuesday to clone up to 200 human beings. Dr. Panos Zavos, a former University of Kentucky researcher, said Monday he plans to begin transferring DNA from the nuclei of living cells into human eggs in November to create a human embryo, which would be implanted into a woman's uterus. "We do intend to do this, and we do intend to do it right," Zavos told CNN. Although critics have warned that attempts to clone animals have resulted in a high rate of ill or deformed clones, Zavos said, "We intend to do it right or not do it at all." The announcement will be made at a cloning conference held by the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, he said. Zavos is a retired professor and head of a Lexington-based private corporation that markets infertility products and technologies. He said his team is working with 200 couples who are infertile and the aim of the "attempt" is to help them have a baby.

    Extractions: Cloning is the process of creating an identical copy of an original. A clone in the biological sense, therefore, is a single cell (like bacteria lymphocytes etc.) or multi-cellular organism that is genetically identical to another living organism. Sometimes this can refer to "natural" clones made either when an organism reproduces asexually or when two genetically identical individuals are produced by accident (as with identical twins ), but in common parlance the clone is an identical copy by some conscious design. Also see clone (genetics) The term clone is derived from , the Greek word for "twig". In horticulture , the spelling clon was used until the twentieth century; the final e came into use to indicate the vowel is a "long o" instead of a "short o". Since the term entered the popular lexicon in a more general context, the spelling clone has been used exclusively. edit edit Cloning a gene means to extract a gene from one organism (for example by PCR) and insert it into a second organism (usually via a vector ), where it can be used and studied. Cloning a gene sometimes can refer to success in identifying a gene associated with some

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_cloning
    
    Extractions: Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of an existing human or growing cloned tissue from that individual. The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning; human clones in the form of identical twins are commonplace, with their cloning occurring during the natural process of reproduction. Note that cloning is not limited to humans. However, this article is only about the artificial cloning of human beings. edit The meaning of human cloning is often misunderstood. Although genes are recognized as influencing behavior and cognition , "genetically identical" does not mean altogether identical; almost no one would deny that identical twins , despite being natural human clones with identical DNA , are separate people, with separate experiences and not altogether overlapping personalities. However undramatic it may sound, the relationship between an "original" and a clone is rather like that between identical twins raised apart; they share all the same DNA , but little of the same environment.

    Extractions: Web posted at: 3:45 p.m. EST (CNN) The announcement that a team of British scientists had successfully cloned an adult sheep has touched off a new wave of discussion over the ethical implications of such a feat. The achievement announced Sunday by a team of scientists at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland , marks the first time anyone has successfully cloned an adult mammal. "There are a number of genetic diseases for which there is no cure ... and this will enable us to carry out research into the causes of those diseases and perhaps develop method to treat them," Dr. Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute said following the announcement. While some scientists hail the cloning as a major breakthrough for research in agriculture, aging, medicine and genetics, others worry what it may portend. If sheep can be replicated, they ask, are humans far behind? Suddenly the stuff of science fiction doesn't seem so fanciful anymore as one considers the possibility of dictators cloning themselves, dead geniuses brought back to life, or beloved family pets resurrected. Sheep, cattle, pigs ... what next?

    Extractions: The Ethics of Human Cloning The successful cloning of an adult sheep, announced in Scotland this past February, is one of the most dramatic recent examples of a scientific discovery becoming a public issue. During the last few months, various commentators scientists and theologians, physicians and legal experts, talk-radio hosts and editorial writers have been busily responding to the news, some calming fears, other raising alarms about the prospect of cloning a human being. At the request of the President, the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC) held hearings and prepared a report on the religious, ethical, and legal issues surrounding human cloning. While declining to call for a permanent ban on the practice, the Commission recommended a moratorium on efforts to clone human beings, and emphasized the importance of further public deliberation on the subject. An interesting tension is at work in the NBAC report. Commission members were well aware of "the widespread public discomfort, even revulsion, about cloning human beings." Perhaps recalling the images of Dolly the ewe that were featured on the covers of national news magazines, they noted that "the impact of these most recent developments on our national psyche has been quite remarkable." Accordingly, they felt that one of their tasks was to articulate, as fully and sympathetically as possible, the range of concerns that the prospect of human cloning had elicited.

    Extractions: There is mounting criticism of plans by doctors from Italy and the United States to clone human beings. Among the latest voices to speak out against the proposals is the prominent Italian cardinal Carlo Maria Martini. The Milan archbishop said the cloning team should remember that "the dignity of man is the main thing, and persons cannot be fabricated through technology". He said a human being had an "innate and natural" dignity, which should "not be violated in any way". The cloning team insist their project is intended to help infertile couples and have tried to avoid ethical questions. But this has failed to stop the objections and doubts raised by religious and scientific groups. 'Frankenstein doctors' An Italian politician has been highly critical of the cloning team's research conference in Rome on Friday, which attracted a huge amount of publicity. Giovanni Bianchi, of the Popular Party, which is in the governing coalition, described the team as "Frankenstein" doctors and said the conference was called with "one eye on a scoop and the other, obviously, on business".

Markoff Chaney Key words: bioethics, ethics, eugenics, genetics, humankind, humanity, nuclear transfer, science Since Mendel's experiences and the discovery of the DNA as the genetic material, we started to know how and why we are like we are we; started to understand more about how our bodies work. Our genes are like the computer program running in us; we are what our genes code us to be. The first big success for genetic engineer (GE) was the production of insulin by genetically modified bacteria. It showed the medical, economical, and industrial possibilities of this technology. Like a pyramid buried in the sands of the desert, the possibilities and uses of GE were being uncovered. Thanks to refined techniques in molecular genetics and recombinant DNA techniques, its uses soon started to be employed in a vast array of areas:

    http://www.geocities.com:80/SiliconValley/5504/biochem.html
    
    Extractions: In order to isolate biochemically useful DNA the sequence should be as long as possible. The DNA must first be obtained from the required cells. If eukaryotic cells are being used this is a relatively simple process as they cells are surrounded by only a lipid membrane. Lipid is soluble in detergent and so adding detergent to eukaryotic cells will lyse them. A commonly used detergent is called sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). Enzymes such as nucleases, which lead to the degradation of genetic material also first, have to be inactivated and SDS does this too. The DNA obtained can be processed in slightly varying ways. If a high molecular weight is not required then adding a large concentration of ethanol, which is then centrifuged to form a pellet, can precipitate the DNA. The remaining ethanol is then removed by drying and the remaining pellet is re-dissolved in the required buffer. For situations where large DNA fragments are required, the DNA is not precipitated using alcohol, as the high pressures imparted by the centrifugation can lead to the molecules being sheared. 'Restriction endonucleases' or 'Restriction enzymes' are the backbone behind recombinant DNA technology. The power of these enzymes lies in their ability to cut DNA in to defined fragments at specific sequences of the genetic coding. Restriction enzymes originate from many different forms of bacteria. It had been noted that some forms of bacteriophage grew in forms of
