Why Clone At All?
نویسنده
چکیده
Why would anyone clone a sheep or a cow, let alone a human being? None save the genetic determinists who believe an organism is nothing more than the sum total of its genetic makeup and that it is their right to exploit cloned human embryos for spare body parts. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho explains why ‘clone’ is a misnomer. The original Dolly experiment was misguided, and subsequent attempts at cloning many other species have been plagued by the same failures. Far from producing identical copies of individual organisms, fatalities and monstrous abnormalities are generated at high frequencies. It is irresponsible and unethical to continue such gross experiments even for animals.

Why do bacterial plasmids carry some genes and not others?
Previous explanations of why bacterial genes for certain "optional" traits tend to occur on plasmids rather than chromosomes are based on an outdated misunderstanding of natural selection. They also fail to explain why certain characters that are ubiquitous in some bacterial species tend to occur on plasmids. This paper shows that all major classes of traits usually associated with plasmids rat...
متن کاملClone Purification, Characterization and Standardization of LaSota Strain for Developing a Live Vaccine against Newcastle Disease Virus
Newcastle disease (ND) is one of the most serious illnesses of chickens. Live vaccines are widely used to prevent chicken from the disease all over the world. To access the effective and potentiate ND vaccine, a homogenous subpopulation from LaSota strain was selected following cultivation of the virus on primary chicken embryofibroblast (CEF) cells. Pathogenicity indices and molecular characte...
متن کاملA novel bacterial Water Hypersensitivity-like protein shows in vivo protection against cold and freeze damage.
Metagenomic library screening, by functional or sequence analysis, has become an established method for the identification of novel genes and gene products, including genetic elements implicated in microbial stress response and adaptation. We have identified, using a sequence-based approach, a fosmid clone from an Antarctic desert soil metagenome library containing a novel gene which codes for ...
متن کاملIFT-UAM/CSIC-03-51 hep-ph/0407009 Why care about (θ13,δ) degeneracy at future neutrino experiments
Why care about (θ 13 , δ) degeneracy at future neutrino experiments The presence of several clone solutions in the simultaneous measurement of (θ13, δ) has been widely discussed in literature. Here, after a pedagogical introduction on why these clones arise, we discuss how the clones location in the (θ13, δ) plane change as a function of the physical input pair (¯ θ13, ¯ δ). We compare the clon...
