scientific process of resurrecting species that have died out, or gone extinct (Britannica). Scientists are using three different techniques in their attempt to resurrect these species; these techniques consist of breeding back, genetic engineering, and cloning. Breeding back is described as…
Pharmacogenomics are using one person's genetic history to decide what type of medication they will receive. They are using pharmacogenomics currently to help give people get the medicine they need. Some benefits to using pharmacogenomics are by using pharmacogenomics it helps improve the way we use drugs today, also using this helps save a lot of time, and the drugs that people were working on and then put off are being put back into play by using pharmacogenomics. Some disadvantages of…
states that an action is said to be morally right if the results of the action courses the greatest happiness to the largest population (Bentham). Even without further expounding the theory, one can identify that the theory is totally in support of cloning program as presented in the book. The theory mostly deals with the numbers but not the action by stating that if the highest numbers are happy or benefit from an action compared to those who are…
unprecedented vaccines, improved agriculture, and much more. In this essay, the role of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, the usage of the bovine growth hormone, genetically modified corn in Mexico, human cloning, and abortion will…
Several ethical issues associated cloning have a negative effect on a clone's sense of self-identity. Since the students at Hailsham are being raised without mothers and fathers, brothers and sister, and any other relatives, they lack a sense of identity. To make up for this loss, the student's sense of self comes from the bonds they form with other students at Hailsham. The protagonists in the novel, Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy develop a sense of family between themselves. They are there for…
human tissue (George). With the cloning of human tissue, there could be an elimination of patients’ bodies rejecting organs after an organ transplant (Shaw). Another positive outcome with using cloned tissues is the ability for a choice in reproduction. With the cloning of human tissue there could be an elimination of genetic diseases due to parent’s ability to pick the genes the child will receive. In “The Ethics of Embryonic Stem Cell Research and Human Cloning,” Robert George said, “Those who…
The passenger pigeon was once the most abundant birds in North America. They travel in large flocks. The flocks are so large they darkened the sky. Hunting and habitat destruction is what led to the extinction of the passenger pigeons. Martha was the name of the last known living passenger pigeon that died in 1914. There are plans to bring back the passenger pigeon by using a process called de extinction. The process will consist of reconstructing a genome; insert it into a band tailed pigeon…
Beginning in the mid twentieth century, embryonic stem cell research has gradually evolved into a paramount and controversial issue in American society. The practice includes the inherent destruction of human embryos for the harvest of stem cells that are used in medical science to treat patients and regenerate body tissues. This murder of innocent human life acts as the underlying spark for the controversial debate. Politicians and leaders have continuously argued over the issue for decades,…
I want to clone my dog Jax because he is the best dog ever! Many people hate cloning their dogs. But I think cloning my dog Jax is the best idea ever!

Should pets be cloned? Some people think that they should make tons of more pets just for them to have their pet that died back. Well, here are some reasons why people should think that pets shouldn’t be cloned. First off its really expensive to clone pets. Kristen Lewis clearly states that “instead of forking over tens of thousands of dollars to clone one pet,” TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!!! Do you know what you could buy with that much money? Secondly, there are already lots of…
