f cell biology. Her creation has raised a troubling question, can humans, too, be cloned?(Begley53). Just think, parents could have their dying child copied, pro team owners their greatest players, and hospitals their best doctors.In every cell of the human body, there contains the complete genetic makeup of the entire person. The cell, however, is programmed to be a certain thing such as bon or organ and that is all they become even though they have the makeup for the entire human body. Cloning is the process of manipulating a cell from an animal so that it grows into the exact duplicate of that animal (Encarta). According to psychologist Jerome Kagan of Harvard. You will never get 100 percent identity-never-because of chances factors and because environments are never exactly the same.Believe it or not biologist have discovered yet another way to clone. In the old way, the in which Dolllywas cloned, they took the cell from the mammary gland. They would then use an electrical pulse to coax an adult cell into merging with a host egg whose nucleus had been removed. The success rate of this was 1 in 277 (Lemonick64). The new technique, in which scientist used mice, involves injecting just the adult nucleus into a nucleus-free host instead of using an electrical pulse. Secondly, they let it set for two hours before stimulating it to start dividing. The success rate was 2-3 in 100(Lemonick).Another positive aspect of cloning, besides replicating humans and animals, is the ability to produce protein. If human genes are transferred into other organisms, like pigs and sheep, these animals can produce human proteins (The Future of Cloning 1). These animals can produce human proteins in its milk, or maybe even insulin to treat diabetes. Also, according to biologist Richard Seed, transgenic sheep have been altered to produce alpha-1-antitrypism, a drug that is used to treat cystic fibrosis. Transgenic animals are valuable to biome...
