LA-C+ Pro+Human+Cloning

He  Hello grade 7 students. Welcome to your first wiki assignment!

Each student is part of a pro and con debating team for the question "Should humans be cloned?" You will be using this wiki to share your notes, questions and discussions with your team members. This will be a way to organize yourselves, to consolidate your findings, and to build stronger arguments. You may see the pages of other team members if you wish. This is a good thing as it will be necessary to prepare yourselves for the opposition's arguments. Feel free to read each other's notes, however, please ONLY EDIT THE PAGES OF YOUR OWN TEAM.

Please remember to be respectful of other's opinions and other's work.

State your name at the start of your notes. P ick a font color to differentiate yourself form other students. Find ONE reliable website and take notes on the information. Enter your cloning notes on this page. Share main ideas and facts. These should be in YOUR OWN WORDS. No plagiarism! Cite the source : website address, author, organization, dates. Write a couple of sentences explaining why this site is reliable. EACH TEAM MEMBER MUST FIND A DIFFERENT WEBSITE. You may begin a discussion by clicking on the discussion tab. You may also upload relevant videos.

Grade: notes - 5 points, reliability - 5 points, citation - 5 points.

Full speed ahead!

Gabriel: why should humans be clone? Many different scientists across the world were already locked in a race to clone the first human, as a baby for TV cameras. Huge amounts of money are at stake in human cloning research. Teams have announced their aim, many people have come forward with offers of eggs, their own adult cells and money - and the US still has no laws to prevent human cloning from happening, nor do most other countries of the world. The headlines above first came nearer reality on 23 Feb 1997 when world [|media] reported the existence of Dolly the sheep: cloned from an adult. I had predicted the Dolly headline in 1993 Pigs have a tiny amount of [|human genes], but a richer mix could be made. Geep have already been born - half sheep and half goat. This article was written by: Dr. Patrick Dixon This source is reliable because is written by experts and have a lot of people researching it.

· To replace tissues and organs to treat disease and help couples have children · Cloning humans can’t bring back the dead or make you live forever · Allow research on cloning cells · No serious issue on cloning skin and cells · Cloning is only copying DNA · Anyway it will be unlikely to clone every part of a human Site Address: [] Author: Dr. Arthur Caplan, Ph. D. The Site contains an interview with Arthur Caplan, Ph. D. Dr. Caplan has been the director of the Center for Bioethics and Trustee Professor of Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania since 1994. The University of Pennsylvania is one of the most respected universities in the world. Dr. Caplan has advised three big U.S. Government departments and agencies: 1) the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2) the Center for Disease Control and 3) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.   Even though the interview was in 2001, the date doesn’t really matter because if we asked Dr. Caplan this question again in 2009 we would get a similar response. There was another interview in 2003 with MSN with similar responses.

​ Choi wats up!!! We can use clones to replace organs, if people's organs are very damaged or have any diseases. [] go and visit this site!!! It's awesome......... It is reliable because this site was updated at may 30th 2009.

Eduardo Coccaro -Clones can substitute babies that die at birth -People that suffer from Alzheimer´s, Parkinson´s, heart diseases or other chronic ilnesses could be cured by using new nerves, muscles, and other cell types created through therapeutical cloning of human cells -If funds used for human cloning don´t come from the government, the government shouldn´t intervene [], American Medical Association, articles written by doctors, the date it was updated isn´t avaiable but there are articles from October 2009. This source is reliable because it does not express a personal opinion. Also, it is written by a respectful organization, which is led by J. James Rohack, fellow of the American College of Cardiology(where he is also part of the board of directors) and of the American College of Physicians, served in the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Executive Advisory Panel, and the Texas A&M University System Health Science Center School of Rural Public Health External Advisory Commitee. ​Eduardo Coccaro -Scientists in Japan and Wisconsin created cells that work like embryonic ones but don´t use embryos, eggs, etc. -This could solve the debate over the use of cells that would later become people -Thanks to an experiment in Portland,which fed embryonic stem cells from monkeys by the same process that led to the creation of Dolly, stem cells for specific patients to treat diseases may be created soon -Nuclear transfer, the name of this technique, is very hard to be done -Creating stem cells is easier for scientists [], Time Magazine, Alice Park is the author, Nov. 20 2007. There is a note at the end of the article saying it was corrected. Time Magazine has a trustable reputation an the sources of the article are important scientists, or from good universities.

-Why cloning is good: -Scientists think that they can cure heart attacks by injecting patients healthy cells from clones -Clones can be used to transplant organs -They can be used for people who need a second generation. -Good cells could be extracted from a normal person to a person that has a disease. [] I think this site is reliable because it was written by Manali Oak who is a softwear engineer. The article was posted by Buzzle, a network of authors and experts who share and write information. The information was also published on 8/26/2008.

Michael -Clones could also be used to save people from extinction -Clones could be used to save or preserve cultures or races -Clones could not only be one whole organism but also a organ or muscle -If clones were expensive, well, there's health insurance, am i right? -And overpopulation? Oh please, there is such thing as Mars or the moon. -And at drastic measures of war, clones could be used as spies, soldiers, or bodygaurds sharing the same fate as their original []

Juan Pablo Solano Cloning is good because you can use the body parts.

[]ivan gonzalez, human cloning is important because you can help deceased kids to survive against their deacease []

leila d. should humans be cloned? yes! [] Orlando clones can be used to help people that are sick or that have a bad organ. scientists have prooven to be helpfull to proide new tissue or any body partd that have to be reaplaced or transplanted.
 * Produce embryonic stem cells in large quantities ;
 * Genetically alter animals to produce organs that can more easily be transplanted into humans ;
 * Allow individuals or couples to reproduce through means other than sexual reproduction ; and
 * Grow replacement human organ tissue from scratch.
