6 Animals cloned sparked controversy

Posted on at


Cloning has boomed over the last 15 years starting from the sheep named Dolly to a horse named Prometea.

 

 

 


1. Dolly the Sheep Cloning First
Nevertheless, ethical issues and the impact of it is a matter of intense debate. Here are the 5 cloned animals are considered to cause controversy by Nick Collins a jurnalisTelegraph.

2. Sheep Named Dolly
Dolly's presence is an important event in genetic technology that showed that scientists can reverse cellular time by converting adult sheep cell into an embryo that later grew into a new sheep. Her birth sparked a heated debate about the ethics and consequences of cloning. One writer claims that Dolly "looked at you with red eyes full of hatred". Rebuttal against the ethics of animal cloning is amplified when the sheep was criticized in 2003 after suffering from lung disease. Animals are overwritten with health problems also suffer from premature arthritis.
 
3. Rat Named Cumulina
Cumulina is the first of the 50s identical throughout three generations of mice created at the University of Hawaii in 1998. Animal cloning is called Cumulina because he is made of DNA cumulus cells surrounding the egg is developing in the ovaries of female mice. Cumulina is the first animal cloned from adult cells that survive to adulthood and produced two healthy litters.

4. Gaur (Bos Gaurus) Named Noah
Noah Gaur animals (species from Southeast Asia like bison), represents the first experiment conducted by scientists to clone endangered animals.
Scientists in the United States hopes to take a major step in efforts to protect endangered species by giving birth to clones Gaur on a farm in Iowa. But Noah died shortly after birth in 2001.

5. Cat Named CC
CC or Carbon Copy born in 2001 is the first cloned pet. Scientists hope that creating a carbon copy cat could offer millions of pet owners the opportunity to raise a family pet peliharan animals.
But although the original Rainbow which is a fat cat and has a white color with brown spots, brown and golden, CC slender, with white and gray stripes. Moreover, both cats have different properties, Rainbow CC quiet but playful.

6. Cow Named Vandyk-K Integ Paradise 2
This animal is one of the three that were developed from cells taken from cows that won many races named Vandyk K Integ Paradise in America. Frozen embryos from cloning is embedded in the parent-surrogate mothers in the UK.
Vandyk-K Integ Paradise 2 to be the center of conversation when meat from cloned offspring are entering the market.
