  1. Cloning By Andrew Kirkpatrick

  2. Cloning Overview • Cloning is to produce or grow a cell, group of cells, or organism from a single original cell. • Controversial Topic • 3 types • Therapeutic (focus) • Reproductive • DNA

  3. Therapeutic Cloning • Stem Cells • Building block • Embryonic or Pluripotent cells • Pros and Cons to both • Practical Use discovered in 1981 (rats) • Human Cells 1998

  4. Cons to Stem Cell Research

  5. Cons Could be side effects to cells Destruction of embryos Chance of rejection

  6. Pros to Stem Cell Research

  7. Pros • Advancement in Medical Technology • Can prevent testing on humans and animals • Alzheimer's, Schizophrenia, Crone's • POA • Can create embryonic stem cells using skin cells of the patient • UCLA’s Kathrin Plath • “In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods than in giving health to men” (Cicero).

  8. So Where are We? Stem Cell Progress

  9. Important Moments 1981: Embryonic stem cells are first isolated in mice. Feb. 12, 2004: South Korean scientists announce the world's first successfully cloned human embryo. Nov. 20, 2007: Two independent teams of scientists report on a method for making human embryonic stem cells without destroying a human embryo. Current Day: British scientist created working kidney using stem cells. Current Day: Skin Cell Gun
