Prometheus Bound: Cloning Bears Identical Reactions
Fred L. Smith's commentary on the public's reaction to the announcement of Dolly and GM foods.

Extractions: Cloning Bears Identical Reactions by Fred L. Smith Jr. Fred L. Smith Jr. ispresident of the Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. T he ink had barely dried on the clever headline on the Scottish sheep cloning story, "Hello Hello, Dolly, Dolly!" before politicians were calling for bans. President Clinton was first to express "serious concern." Repre-sentative Vernon Ehlers (R-Mich.), a physicist by training, echoed his sentiments. He reasoned that to prevent horrible regulation, we should impose bad regulation. The response to cloning was predictable and indicative of the troubled political history of biotechnology. The discovery of the double helix structure of DNA and later, the ability to recombine DNA, made many uneasy. Technophobe Jeremy Rifkin described biotechnology as "a form of annihilation every bit as deadly as nuclear holocaust, and even more profound." Repetition of the "mistake" of unleashing nuclear power had to be avoided. Scientists could no longer allow others to decide how to use new and potentially destructive discoveries. They assumed the role Olympians, deciding whether the technology would be released or suppressed. Thus in the early 1970s, James Watson, co-discoverer of the DNA double helix, and several microbiologists urged a moratorium on further research until the dangers of gene-splicing could be assessed. At a meeting in Pacific Grove, California in 1975, scientists urged the National Institutes of Health to impose guidelines governing DNA experiments.

CNN - Should We Be Cloning Around? - Feb. 24, 1997

http://www.cnn.com/TECH/9702/24/cloned.sheep/

Extractions: Web posted at: 3:45 p.m. EST (CNN) The announcement that a team of British scientists had successfully cloned an adult sheep has touched off a new wave of discussion over the ethical implications of such a feat. The achievement announced Sunday by a team of scientists at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland , marks the first time anyone has successfully cloned an adult mammal. "There are a number of genetic diseases for which there is no cure ... and this will enable us to carry out research into the causes of those diseases and perhaps develop method to treat them," Dr. Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute said following the announcement. While some scientists hail the cloning as a major breakthrough for research in agriculture, aging, medicine and genetics, others worry what it may portend. If sheep can be replicated, they ask, are humans far behind? Suddenly the stuff of science fiction doesn't seem so fanciful anymore as one considers the possibility of dictators cloning themselves, dead geniuses brought back to life, or beloved family pets resurrected. Sheep, cattle, pigs ... what next?

The distinctive cloning technology, described as the Honolulu technique, could be more viable for the production of drugs using transgenic animals than earlier techniques because of its efficiency of reproducibility and, when used in genetic and embryonic development studies, will shed new light on the cellular and molecular activities involved in aging and diseases such as cancer, AIDS, diabetes and multiple sclerosis. The technology has been licensed to the Hawaii-based biotechnology company ProBio America, Inc., for commercialization and to test it for expanded uses. The investigators anticipate that due to similarities between development in mammals the technique will be applicable to larger animals. For example, efficient and accurate cloning can improve the reliability and safety of reproducing transgenic mammals, such as cattle, pigs and sheep, that can be used in the economical production of lower cost protein-based pharmaceuticals. The technique may also be useful for cloning wild or endangered species in a controlled environment.

Extractions: On January 8, 2001, scientists at Advanced Cell Technology, Inc., announced the birth of the first clone of an endangered animal, a baby bull gaur (a large wild ox from India and southeast Asia) named Noah. Although Noah died of an infection unrelated to the procedure, the experiment demonstrated that it is possible to save endangered species through cloning. Cloning is the process of making a genetically identical organism through nonsexual means. It has been used for many years to produce plants (even growing a plant from a cutting is a type of cloning). Animal cloning has been the subject of scientific experiments for years, but garnered little attention until the birth of the first cloned mammal in 1997, a sheep named Dolly . Since Dolly, several scientists have cloned other animals, including cows and mice. The recent success in cloning animals has sparked fierce debates among scientists, politicians and the general public about the use and morality of cloning plants, animals and possibly humans.

Extractions: Nothing really prepared the world for the 1997 announcement that a group of Scottish scientists had created a cloned sheep named Dolly . There's little doubt that within the next decade, we will hear a more shocking announcement of the first cloned human. Several groups have developed plans to be the first to do so, and the research is already underway to make it happen. Until now, the idea of human cloning has only been possible through movie magic, but the natural progression of science is making human cloning a true possibility. We've cloned sheep, mice and cows, so what's to stop scientists from cloning a human? Some countries have set up laws banning cloning, but it is still legal in many countries. It will cost tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, but there will always be people willing to spend that type of money to be a part of history. Critics, backed by studies, say cloning is still a dangerous technology that can cause serious defects in the clones. The low success rates of cloning efforts of about 3 percent has also raised questions about the morality of cloning a human. In this edition of
Cloning And Stem Cell Research - Donal O'Mathuna
Human cloning may soon become an accepted means of producing human embryonic stem cells for use in medical therapies.
http://www.cbhd.org/newsletter/002/002omathuna.htm

Extractions: Wrong Motives on Both Sides of the Atlantic Donal O'Mathuna who has already been cloned for the express benefit of someone else. Those who support the Donaldson Report, as well as many who favor human embryonic stem cell research in the U.S., have succumbed to the utilitarian drive to maximize the ends without considering the means. Named the Breakthrough of the Year for 1999 by the prestigious journal Science , human embryonic stem cell research may indeed have the potential to benefit many people who suffer from serious debilitating conditions. Because embryonic stem cells can develop into many different types of tissues, researchers hope these cells can be coaxed into replacing tissues whose function has been lost or compromised as a result of injury or disease. For example, someone with diabetes might be given replacement pancreatic cells that produce normal amounts of insulin. Similar treatments might be developed for Parkinsons and Alzheimers diseases. The British interest in cloning arises largely in response to a chief obstacle encountered by scientists doing research on embryonic stem cells namely, how to transplant cells or tissue derived from an embryo into a patient without that patient rejecting the implanted material. Obtaining cells from an embryo which has been cloned by inserting a patients own DNA into an egg cell devoid of genetic material circumvents the risk of tissue rejection which would likely be posed if stem cells were derived from non-cloned embryos who do not share the patients genetic material. For example, a patient suffering from severe burns could have embryos cloned using genetic material derived from his or her own cells. If the stem cells obtained from these cloned embryos could be coaxed into becoming skin cells, they would be genetically identical to the patient and would pose no risk of rejection.

CNN - Poll: Most Americans Say Cloning Is Wrong - Mar. 1, 1997
CNN.com
http://www.cnn.com/TECH/9703/01/clone.poll/

Extractions: According to a CNN/Time poll released Saturday, most Americans think it is morally unacceptable to clone either animals or humans, and they think that new cloning techniques will create more problems than they solve. Almost half of those polled said they would be willing to eat fruits and vegetables that had been cloned, but 56 percent said they would not eat meat from cloned animals. About two-thirds of those polled said the federal government should regulate the cloning of animals. Opinion was far less divided on the prospect of cloning humans. Of those polled, 69 percent said they are scared by the prospect of cloning humans, and 89 percent said it would be morally unacceptable. Three-quarters said that cloning human beings is against God's will, and 29 percent said they are so troubled by the ability to replicate life, that they would participate in a demonstration against cloning humans. Only 7 percent said they would clone themselves if they had the opportunity.

Extractions: Library Mill Hill Essays home About Mill Hill Essays Essay archive Subject index Cloning Since our genes dictate to a large extent what we look like, how we behave and what we can and cannot do, having identical genes, as identical twins do, ensures something more than mere similarity. Novelists and film makers have not been slow to exploit the imagery afforded by cloning. Limitless numbers of identical beings manufactured from existing or previous generations has obvious dramatic potential, although seldom of a reassuring nature. Clones traverse the cinema screen as crowds of dehumanised humans destined for monotonous drudgery, as invincible armies of lookalikes from outer space, as replicas of living megalomaniacs and, in the ultimate fantasy, as the resurrected dead - troupes of little Hitlers and herds of rampaging dinosaurs. Of course, this is science fiction. Nonetheless there is just a whiff of plausibility, a whisker of scientific credibility; enough to plant an indelible vision of what might be, or even what could be. So it is easy to understand why the arrival earlier this year of Dolly, the sheep developed from an egg whose own genes had been replaced by those from an adult udder cell, was seen as the first incarnation of a sinister future. Dolly was a clone of the sheep (her genetic mother) who provided the udder cell. The package of genes in the nucleus of that udder cell contained exactly the same repertoire of genes as all the rest of her mother's cells and so Dolly's genetic makeup was to all intents and purposes identical to her mother's. No sperm had had the opportunity to add its genetic pennysworth. However, there was nothing radically new, neither technically nor conceptually, in the way in which Dolly was made. Almost all films and documentaries on cloning still show the same footage
