2. lappuse - To wrest from nature the secrets which have perplexed philosophers in all ages, to track to their sources the causes of disease, to correlate the vast stores of knowledge, that they may be quickly available for the prevention and cure of disease — these are our ambitions.
44. lappuse - The NIH Human Embryo Research panel that reported on human embryo research in September 1994 also devoted only a single footnote to this type of cloning. "Popular notions of cloning derive from science fiction books and films that have more to do with cultural fantasies than actual scientific experiments.
45. lappuse - ... as organ sources for their father/mother original. Nor is there any "right to be cloned" that an adult might possess that is triggered by marriage to someone with whom the adult cannot reproduce. Any attempt to clone a human being should also be prohibited by basic ethical principles that prohibit putting human subjects at significant risk without their informed consent. Dolly's birth was a one in 277 embryo chance. The birth of a human from cloning might be technologically possible, but we could...
44. lappuse - The technology to clone a human does not — and may never — exist. Moreover, the critical nongenetic influences on development make it difficult to imagine producing a human clone who would act or appear 'identical'.
44. lappuse - ... everlasting generations." Frankenstein ultimately recognized his responsibilities to humanity, and Shelley's great novel explores virtually all the noncommercial elements of today's cloning debate. The naming of the world's first cloned mammal also has great significance. The sole survivor of 277 cloned embryos (or "fused couplets"), the clone could have been named after its sequence number in this group (eg, C-137), but this would have only emphasized its character as a produced product.
45. lappuse - ... continue cell division beyond a 14-day period are prohibited, use of human cells for research could be permitted. Anyone proposing such research, however, should have the burden of proving that the research is vital, cannot be conducted any other way, and is unlikely to produce harm to society. The prospect of human cloning also provides Congress with the opportunity to go beyond ad hoc bans on procedures and funding, and the periodic appointment of blue ribbon committees, and to establish a...
16. lappuse - The notion of cloning an existing human being, or of making "carbon copies" of an existing embryo, appears repugnant to members of the public. Many members of the Panel share this view, and see no justification for Federal funding of research...
44. lappuse - Hitler's clone would himself likely be quite a different person because he would grow up in a radically altered world environment. It has been suggested, however, that there might be good reasons to clone a human. Perhaps most compelling is cloning a dying child if this is what the grieving parents want. But this should not be permitted. Not only does this encourage the parents to produce one child in the image of another, it also encourages all of us to view children as interchangeable commodities,...
69. lappuse - I appreciate the invitation to appear before this subcommittee, particularly along with such distinguished panel members.
44. lappuse - I ought to be thy Adam." Like Dolly, the "spark of life" was infused into the creature by an electric current. Unlike Dolly, the creature was created as a fully grown adult (not a cloning possibility, but what many Americans fantasize and fear), and wanted more than creaturehood: he wanted a mate of his "own kind" with whom to live, and reproduce.
