Cloning

 

Scientists are able to do the kinds of research ban in certain other countries here in Canada without any legality because there are no laws against what they do. However with the knowledge that they acquire from their findings could improve certain aspects in our world, such as medical science.
             The way people see medicine would change drastically with improvements in cloning techniques. Such procedures as using cells from a persons own body to duplicate spare parts. The use of a persons own cell instead of donated sperm for infertility purposes, or removing genetic flaws in unborn children. All these things could be possible with the advancement in cloning. The biggest thing right now is cloning pig parts to transplant in human beings. .
             The report of a "knock-out" pig, which by definition has specific gene inactivated in its DNA, is the first in midst of a tight, international race to create a biologically suitable pig-to-person donor. Researchers in Canada, for example, have been studying transgenic pigs, which have human genetic traits added to their DNA as potential candidates to surmount the species barrier. .
             However the risk of abuse of this kind of medical technology is always a threat, and there are other reasons not use cloning techniques. This quote proves the negativity of cloning techniques.
             A virus that kills every one of it's victims by wiping out part of their immune system, has been accidentally created by an Australian research team. The fearsome virus, a modified mousepox, does not affect humans, but it is closely related to smallpox, rising fears the technology could be used in biowarfare. .
             Medical science can not only cure diseases but create viruses and use them in bio-warfare as the quote says; the next time may not be an accident. Once they've perfected cloning techniques people will want to start businesses.
             This would be a new kind of market up for grabs in Canada and without any laws businesses will be able to exploit this new technology.
