The Gene Revolution
1). Films and science fiction books played with the idea of reproduction exact copies of people. Today we have our first real clones, though they are not human beings –yet!
2). Cloning is a controversial issue. Some people are ready to eat cloned fruits and vegetables, but are against cloning animals. They think it is morally unacceptable.
3). Every plant, animal and person has genes. They are passed on from generation to generation.
4). The recipe for a human being is contained in the 80, 000 genes we inherit from our parents. These genes have the instructions that not only make us human, but also determine things like skin colour and the shape of our nose.
5). Scientists have known about genes for a long time.
6). The gene revolution began in 1997, when Dr Ian Wilmut and his colleagues from Edinburgh University produced the 1st cloned sheep, Dolly. In 1999, a young bull was cloned in the United States. In 2000, American scientists announced the birth of 5 cloned piglets.
7). In 2002, the world’s first cloned pet, Copy Cat, was born. She turned out to be very different from her mother. They are different in appearance and character. Scientists say it proves that clones don’t necessarily turn out to be exact copies.
8). Cloning animals opens exciting new medical possibilities.
9). Many people are in need of tissues and organs, for example, heart, liver or kidney, for transplantation. Cloning can solve this problem. It can be also used to preserve animals who are on the brink of extinction.
10). Scientists can develop animals which produce more milk, meat and wool, or animals which don’t catch certain diseases. This can save the lives of starving people.
11). But cloning is only one part of genetic engineering. It’s also possible to transfer an individual gene from one cell to another and create new life forms. For example, British scientists managed to create the first “geep”, an animal which is 50% sheep and 50% goat.
12). Now people are wondering if the world will soon see another incredible sight : a clone of a human being.
