Therapeutic Cloning Speech

Introduction Today I’m going to talk about Therapeutic cloning. What is Therapeutic Cloning? Therapeutic Cloning is a technique in medical science that you can help people to get rid of some disease that they have. Scientist has already succeeded in the experiment on healing brain disease and Parkinson disease on mice. And they are working on heart disease. But they haven’t started testing on humans yet. Therapeutic cloning, which involves human cloning, is a difficult and ethically disputed procedure. There have been scandals and rumours of the first human clone in the past, however without proof. There are no news on major breakthroughs in therapeutic cloning in the recent past. How does cloning work? Take a healthy skin cell from the person who has an issue with health, it could be heart or liver issue. Take the Nucleus out from the cell. They have to take it out because in the nucleus is the genome. Then, take the nucleus out from a donor egg cell from another person, and take out the nucleus so …show more content…

This disease affects her left side movement. Chloe would have to suffer almost 20 years of therapy. Until the parents remembered that they had kept her cord blood cells when she was born. In the cord blood cells there are stem cells. A baby’s umbilical cord is made of tissue and blood, and both, cord tissue and cord blood are full of stem cells. Parents can preserve the cord blood in so called cord blood banks. The baby’s cord blood stem cells will forever be a perfect match for him or her. These stem cells can potentially also help siblings with the same biological parents. 2 months after Chloe’s had her first infusion of stem cells she had already improved 50%. Now let’s take the case that there were no cord blood cells stored for Chloe. In that case the only way to help her would be therapeutic cloning, which would produce stem cells with her own genes and make her healthy

I think the fact that a patient can use their own stem cells to heal is an amazing concept. It makes for a faster healing process, much less treatment than all the follow ups that are needed for grafting, and possibly less painful. If I needed this treatment I would definitely consider using stem

Nothing else. Them doctors never said nuthin about keepin her alive in no tubes or growin no cells. All they told me was they wanted to do a topsy see if they could help my children. And I've always just knowed this much: they is the doctor, and you got to go by what they say. I don't know as much as they do.

Writer of "Perils and Promise: Destroy an Embryo, Waste a Life" , is U.S Representative Christopher H. Smith (Smith). Smith's article topic is about the research done using embryonic stem cells and destroying the embryo after instead of just using adult stem cells for research. He persuades his opinion to the reader in an extremely strong and aggressive tone. Smith makes excellent use throughout his article of all three elements of Pathos: appeals to fear and concern, appeals to emotion, and appeals to emotions and the need for self-esteem.

CULTURE AND COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES Martina Fernandez is a 65-year-old Hispanic woman who has had diabetes for 42 years. She is admitted to the hospital with extreme circulatory deficiency and evidence of early gangrene of the left foot. After speaking with her family members, she decides to go ahead with a below-the knee amputation. Following surgery, she had a stroke and the nurses gave her medications to dissolve the clot. As the day progressed, she got progressively worse; none of the medication seems to be working.

After reading about therapeutic cloning, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is no different than what researchers are trying to do with ES cell research. The difference in the process is that the egg is penetrated, without destroying it and the nucleus is removed with the host DNA and replaced with a nucleus from the cell of the donor that requires the ES cell for therapy. At that point the egg is left to develop into a blastocyst using the donor DNA and the process of extracting the inner cell mass to cultivate the stem cells that are genetically compatible with the

Many believe cloning is a perversion of science, and some are even concerned with a real life Frankenstein situation: “Reproductive cloning… could lead to a Dr. Frankenstein’s vision of lab manufactured humans. To me this is a perversion of science” (Ford 1). Furthermore, in Frankenstein, Dr. Frankenstein detached from the world as he became obsessed with his studies, diminishing his health. A similar thing could happen to scientists who clone if they decide that they are “playing god,” which can be dangerous for the scientists and the clones. Cloning is so controversial and causes an overbearing amount of stress for it to be befitting to the human mind, as Victor Frankenstein puts it, “If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections, and to destroy… those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful… not befitting of the human minds” (Shelley 50).

This is what sends the disease into remission but if this method fails we turn to the stem cell transplant which gives the patient a bigger and better shot at a full and speedy recovery. Cord blood stem cells are less likely due to reject a transfusion, this is due to the fact that there will be a better chance of a perfect match between the patient and the cord blood because the stem cells are still immature. Cord blood stem cells have been utilised successfully to treat more than seventy different diseases such as cancers, blood disorders and immune deficiencies. Doctors recommend that patients do not use their own stem cells to treat or fight off a disease as their body could be producing the wrong stem cells that will complicate things and have the same defect on the body. This is like extracting a seed of a disease from on area of the body and placing it at another area of the body, which would be useless.

Globally, scientists are turning to stem cell research as the most promising step to curing many of the harshest diseases and conditions including cancer, Alzheimer’s, stroke, paralysis and many more. Stem cells are useable as a replacement for damaged cells because of their self renewing properties. Their form allows them to act as other types of cells and regenerate as a substitute for the affected cells or as a way of testing new medications. Stroke related disabilities alone account for more than 1.2 million people and millions more are impacted by other cell related disabilities making stem cell research an essential pursuit in order to make strides in medicine (Cunningham 368).

I want you all to imagine a world with no diseases and maybe even no cancer. Seems pretty impossible right? Well, with gene therapy that could all change. B. Background and Audience Relevance: Gene therapy is essentially using genes as drugs for the treatment of human disease. In the future, this experimental technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient’s cells instead of using medicine or surgery.

When most people think of an estate sale, they think of relatives selling off their loved ones ' lifetime of household possessions. In fact, this is only one of many reasons someone might want to have an estate sale. People may choose to sell off items that they aren 't using anymore. This could be the result of an upcoming move, because they want a change of furniture, their kids no longer live in the house and a number of other reasons. Many people use the services of an estate company to sell collectibles and antiques that they no longer want (or would just rather have the cash for).

There have been many different experiments to try and grow different objects. A Dutch scientist is growing pork in a lab by growing pig stem cells and cultivating them until they become pig skeletal muscles. Their previous attempts to perfect the texture of the meat fell short and more work needs to be done before it goes into the public, But they believe that in the near future this will be a new science breakthrew. Many also believe that this could one day help end world hunger and reduce the slaughtering of animals. Stem cells have a remarkable feature, they can become bone, muscle, cartilage and other specialized types of cells.

Not only are there many ways in which human cloning can be misused, such as, creating clones for organ donors or replacement children, but cloning has also proved to be rather dangerous (Hoskins). It takes scientists many attempts and many failures before they successfully clone animals and there is no reason to think it would be different with humans (Harrison). Many human embryos would need to be sacrificed in order to protect this practice and many of these children clones who did survive would
