To Be Or Not To Be . . .



             the protection of these governments.
             This is not a new technology, but has been with us for some time. It has existed in nature .
             3.
             for as long as humans or other mammals have been reproducing, as in the case of identical twins,.
             which are clones in the truest sense of the word. Frogs were successfully cloned as early as.
             1953(Dixon, P., 2000) and identical twins have been made in the lab by mechanically splitting a.
             fertilized egg, although these eggs were never allowed to grow and develop. .
             There are two ways to make a clone. There is the forced splitting of a fertilized egg as.
             mentioned above, and the more talked about and controversial method of nuclear transfer. The.
             latter involves removing the genetic material from an ovum and replacing it with the genetic.
             material from whatever source you choose. The ovum is then "jump started" with a small.
             electrical current to start the process of cell division. It is this technology that would enable one to.
             mass produce a super strain of cow, plant, or human. It is this process which scares most of us.
             and titillates a few. This process is very closely related to "stem cell" research which is enveloped.
             in storm clouds of its own, but on the face seems quite benevolent and is often used to cloud the.
             issue of human cloning. Stem cell cloning is the growing of specific cells in the lab such as liver.
             or spinal tissue which can be grown from the cells of the recipient so as to negate the need for.
             immuno suppressant drug therapies. This research gets dragged into the cloning debate with good.
             reason as we will see later on. Stem cell research and cloning are at the focal point of scientific.
             research and much controversy.
             Two questions need to be asked regarding these technologies: Who stands to gain and.
             who stands to lose? The religionists, the moralists, the feminists, the reactionaries, and of course.
             the scientists all want to answer these questions for us in their own way with their own ideologies.
