LA-A+Con+Human+Cloning



​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!

Eleonora t.B. -many social and moral arguments against the ethicity -for every 100 experiments, only 1 or 2 survive, imagine wasting 99 lives to get one! -research for good like cancer things would be stopped because people stop endorsing science because of cloning failures. [] -american medical association

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Min-Chee Jeong -What is the people don't like the clones and treat them badly? -They are too many people on this planet and we do not need anymore. -Humans are using up all the resources of the Earth, if there are clones, the Earth will be used up and all of us will die! -No more clones, if you say you need them for organ transplants and other, why? If you are making clones to live for a while longer, it does not matter because you will die eventually. -The earth is dying and with clones, it will die quicker. -Humans and animals using up all resources, now clones?

-site: http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/elsi/cloning.shtml -http://www.philforhumanity.com/Human_Cloning.html http://www.as.wvu.edu/~kgarbutt/EvolutionPage/Studentsites/cloningpage/CONS2.html cloning is very expensive and only 90% of the attempts fail. -more than 100 nuclear transfer procedures have to be made in order to clone one thing. -many clones have died at a very young age. HUMAN GENOME PROJECT -it began in 1990, and was coordinated with the U.S Department of Energy and the Institute of Health. -i think it is reliable because there are two big groups working together. They cant possibly lie. -also, the site is sponsored by the U.S Department of Energy Office Of Science and Office Of Biological and Environmental Research. -site was edited the last time in May 2009. -they also have many other links connected with the subject cloning.

<span style="color: #00d8ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 8pt;">Irene Castañeda -With cloning, there is a risk of getting infected by the same type of pathogen. -Another problem with cloning is that people will all be the same and this will lead us to inbreeding. -Cloning causes unbalance in the human nature. There can be an over population in the world, causing human extinction. <span style="color: #00f0ff; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;"> The dangers of human cloning Chesca -the babies that would be born through cloning would be at major health risk. -through the research of animal clones most of them die after a few months. Would this happen to human babies? -humans are already using up to many resources to quickly, a double of our population, around 13.4 billion people and clones! That is a lot of people they would be using up our resources and space.

The website was last edited on 2006. this source is reliable because was made by a scientist and the website is sponsered by 2 different science sponsors. and the author is a scientist.

<span style="color: #dc7adc; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">​ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #d91cd9; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Daniela [|Ethics on Human Cloning] -the clone and the family would be in the danger from the peole who are against human cloning -there has been many tries to clone animals and only a few have suceeded, it would be too dangerous to try with humans -scientist have predicted that there would be many miscarriages after they inserted the embryo -recent studies say that many defects that are in the clone only appear after many years of life This website is reliable because: - the author is a well-recognized scientist - the website belong to an organization
