Aisha Cloning

1. Reproductive Cloning:
Creating a duplicate copy of another organism
Aisha Hussein

2. How could cloning be put in use?
●
There are many ways to put cloning into
use
–
Medical purposes
–
Reproducing endangered animal species
–
To help infertile people to have children

3. Medical Purposes
●
Scientists learn about how human diseases by
studying from animals
●
Cloning will create genetically identical animals
so that scientists can study them
–
That will help make the research more
accurate, considering all the animals would be
genetically the same

4. Cloning endangered Animals
●
Many animals are endangered, and if you can clone these
animals it can prevent extinction
Noah was a cloned Gaur.
The Guar was going
extinct. Unfortunately,
Noah died 2 days after
his birth due to a
common bacterial
infection

5. Helps infertile people have children
●
Cloning could be used to help couples who can't have
children
–
They could clone a child, so that they can have
their own

6. Side Effects/Disadvantages
●
Builds a superficial society
–
People may start trying to make their children
perfect—make them smarter, stronger, more
beautiful
–
Eliminates differences
●
Each person is unique in their own way, if
you're cloning people not everyone will be
different

7. ●
Unreliability
–
The mutations or complications that could
come from cloning can't be undoable . You
can't put a human's life in jeopardy

8. How expensive is cloning?
●
Cloning generally is very expensive. The price varies
from what organism you are using, because the cost of
the eggs are different.
●
A human egg donor is paid $3000 to $5000 where as
you can get 4000 mouse oocytes for $2000
●
If you did the same with the humans , it would
cost approximately 2 million
●
It costed about $750,000 dollars to make Dolly
the sheep (not including the years of research)

9. Process of Cloning
●
The most common method is 'stomatic
cell nuclear transfer' also known as
'nuclear transfer'
●
A stomatic cell is a cell that isn't a sperm
or egg that has the complete DNA of the
organism it came from
●
To clone, you need a stomatic cell and an
egg cell

10. ●
First, you have to isolate the stomatic cell and the egg
cell from both donors
●
You then remove and discard the nucleus, because the
nucleus contains the egg donor's genes
●
Then you transfer the stomatic cell into the egg cell,
and the egg will have the egg cell donor's DNA
●
After that is completed, you have to stimulate cell
division
–
Use stimulating liquids to allow the cell to divide
with regular meiosis

11. ●
Lastly, you need to implant the embryo into a
surrogate mother

cloning

12. Cloning Controversies
●
In 2002, George Bush first tried to ban all human
cloning
●
Many people believe that human cloning is morally
wrong, especially when it comes to human cloning
●
Some people may believe that cloning is exploiting
one person for another.Every human being is
supposed to be unique and completely copying
another would oppose that
●
Others believe that cloning can help medical
advancements
