Colin Animal Cloning Science Article

shared by Colin P on 12 Feb 13 - No Cached
  • Cloning animal models of disease Much of what researchers learn about human disease comes from studying animal models such as mice. Often, animal models are genetically engineered to carry disease-causing mutations in their genes.
  • To clone or not to clone: that is the question. The prospect of cloning humans is highly controversial and raises a number of ethical, legal and social challenges that need to be considered.

    Just fix your tagging put animal cloning together by putting " " around it and do that with the tagging of the science article too so its one word. This isn't really a science article it's just saying why you should clone and giving pros and cons.
  • Avantika B on 13 Feb 13
     
    I don't think this a science article since it's not very informative on what cloning is and the process.
  • Inga V. on 13 Feb 13
     
    Is this a scientific article? Or is this something different with just lots of information about animal cloning? This link has lots of information about animal cloning but it does not have anything that supports this information.

  • the plan doesn't involve releasing clones into the wild, where they could undermine conservation by weakening their species' gene pool. Instead, clones would be used to supplement zoo populations and to assist with captive-breeding programs.

  • expensive and highly inefficient,"
  • While cloning endangered species is a relatively new pursuit, Brazilian scientists have been copying beef cattle for more than a decade.
  • "We are still in the phase of developing the technology, so we still don't know if it will be possible to rescue a population in the wild, but we could potentially make it viable again."

    Brazilian biologists want to save different species by cloning animals. These people hope to save the species that way and put clones into zoo's and other places. They would not put them out into the wild because their they might weaken the species.

  • Fusion cell cloning
  • Fusion cell cloning involves replacing the nucleus of an unfertilised egg with the nucleus from a different cell.
    • Inga V.
      Inga V. on 11 Feb 13
       
      In fusion cell cloning they inject something into the egg that will produce the next sheep. The baby of this sheep that was born then will also become a clone of the A sheep.

      I chose fusion cell cloning. A fun fact about fusion cell cloning is that dolly, a famous cloned sheep, was also cloned this exact way.
  • purvivora on 11 Feb 13
     
    Great techniques. Choose one you want to focus on .
  • Inga V. on 11 Feb 13
     
    Fusion cell cloning is basically taking the a body cell from A sheep and doing the same thing from the B sheep to then make a C sheep. The lamb of that sheep is then going to be a clone of the A sheep.

  • 1. Carp (Featured above: A common carp, as-yet-uncloned) An Asian carp was cloned successfully in 1963; ten years later, scientist Tong Dizhou also cloned a European crucian carp.
  • 2. Dolly the Sheep Dolly saw the light of day in 1996. She lived until the age of six. The first cloned mammal, Dolly is considered to be a great success. Later, several hundred other Dollies were cloned.

  • As long as Animal cloning can offer medical benefits it should be investigated.
  • Cloning is stupid, sick, selfish and evil. There is no need for anyone to exploit animals for greed of humans.
  • I have absolutely no problem with animal cloning; it is a necessary step in the evolution of human welfare.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Cloning should not be outlawed as the technology seems to offer new opportunities in medicine.
  • Keep on cloning, practice makes perfect
  • There needs to be a purpose for cloning. Unless animals that are endangered are cloned then it's a waste of time.

  • What is a Clone
  • In biology, a clone is a cell or an organism that is genetically identical to another cell or organism.
  • How was Dolly Created? Dolly is different. She was generated from a specialized adult cell, not from an unspecialized embryonic cell.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Why is Dolly so special?
  • Why did researchers create Dolly?
  • created Dolly because they are trying to find ways to produce livestock that carry specific genetic traits.
  • find ways to produce animals that carry certain proteins in their milk.
  • if researchers can develop animals with desirable characteristics, they can then clone those animals to produce entire herds that carry the same traits.
  • Scotland tried 277 times to create cloned sheep, and they succeeded only once.
  • Dolly is special because she disproves the notion that cells from an adult animal are too specialized to generate a new organism.
    • Inga V.
      Inga V. on 12 Feb 13
       
      This basically says that Dolly is special proves the theory wrong that the cells from an adult animal are too specialized to make a new baby.
  • Inga V. on 11 Feb 13
     
    This is a science article and it has lots of information about animal cloning. It explains what a clone is in detail, has lots of diagrams to show what it means and lots of information about dolly.

  • Brazil Plans to Clone Its Endangered Species
  • The scientists have already spent the past two years collecting 420 genetic samples for the species—mostly from dead specimens found in the Cerrado savanna region—and are now waiting for legal authorization to start the cloning.
  • If they receive government approval, the species they’ll be working with would include the maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus); jaguar (Panthera onca); black lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus); bush dog (Speothos venaticus); Brazilian aardvark, also known locally as coati (Nasua nasua); collared anteater (Tamandua tetradactyla); gray brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira); and bison (Bison bison).
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • If the Brazilian cloning effort is successful, the animals would all be carbon copies of each other and therefore not useful for maintaining genetically varied populations—such diversity is key to a population’s resilience in the face of various diseases and predatory threats. Instead, the cloned animals would live at the zoological garden.

  • Cosmo and Retro were born 3 1/2 years ago.
  • Rintel had Astro’s DNA frozen twice and then paid $140,000 four years ago to a lab to insert the DNA into a donor egg that would be implanted into a surrogate.
  • Parkgoers have been fuming over the dogs’ bad behavior
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • An Upper West Side man loved his pet, Astro, so much, he made a hat out of the pooch’s fur — and cloned him into two more dogs.
  • Now he defiantly lets his copycat collies run around Central Park without a leash — and neighbors say dogs are terrorizing the Upper West Side.
  • “This is a tragedy waiting to happen,”
  • “They look like lions in the jungle. They roam free,”
  • “We call them ‘the clones,’ ” said a dog owner who claims the two pooches came out of nowhere and attacked his black Lab puppy in Central Park.
  • But Rintel defended his dogs as “good boys” and said the walker wasn’t paying attention to them.
  • They’re not threatening or dangerous dogs. They’re playful and they’re under check,” he said.
  • Inga V. on 12 Feb 13
     
    Other people are complaining about Rintel, a guy who loved his dog so much that he had his dog cloned twice. His dogs are biting other people and dogs and people from around the neighborhood are complaining about the case.
  • Avantika B on 13 Feb 13
     
    I don't think this source is the best for an op-ed and it's also not really taking a stand on if cloning is good or bad. I think you should find a better source.

    This seems fine as long as YOU can tell what the author's opinion on the matter is and support that using evidence. Also please check rubric on how to tag your posts correctly
  • Avantika B on 11 Feb 13
     
    I think that the author's opinion is against Animal Cloning because she uses specific quotes from George W. Bush and also presents the danger of the Nazi's gettting hands on the technology. As well as she says,"It is a slippery slope that we should probably not descend too."

    Scientist in NY part of the Stem Cell foundation changed an adult egg cell to the beginning stages using high-tech cloning technology. This resulted in a self-reproducing chain of embryonic stem cells.The techique is basically cloning a human embryo to create a lot of working stem cells. This can be used for tissue therapy and for research.
