Value of Reproductive cloning

Reproductive cloning is when you “make a full living copy of an organism; requires a surrogate mother.” (1) We use what is call somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), which is putting the body cells nucleus into an egg where the nucleus has been removed. There are three different types of cloning (1) recombinant DNA technology (DNA cloning), (2) reproductive cloning, and (3) therapeutic cloning. There have been 18 surviving animal clones.

The cons of using reproductive cloning are not being able to understand what the clone is to you. What will you tell the clone when you have it? You are a made up organism from the child, husband, or loved one I’ve lost? Cloning will take away the differences that people have. Cloning will make an exact duplicate of a person and there would not be a uniqueness of that person. Reproductive cloning is used on animals, mostly. 95% of woman who try reproductive cloning are at risk for their health and for the clones health.

The pros of reproductive cloning is being able to clone a person of your interest. You are able to clone a child for yourself if you are unable to have children. You are able to replace a loved one you have lost and the grieving process will be much easier. Woman would be able to have their child with them for the rest of their lives if they use cloning.

Fertility does not always work. You would be able to use cloning as a way to get a child of your own. There are many gay and lesbian couples in the world that are not allowed to adopt or have children. It could be because of infertility. Cloning gives everyone a chance to be able to have children.

My thoughts about cloning are very creepy. I just keep thinking of being able to clone one another and how that would affect the world. How could you have two of the same exact person. Would we have to do a special screening on people before they buy a clone of themselves? What if the person turns psycho and has their clone follow their lead? Then we would have two maniacs in the world, running loose. I personally think it is ok for reproductive cloning to happen in animals because there are many animals that are going extinct and we need all living creatures to survive. But cloning a human being is not how I see the world going. I don’t think it is safe and it really creeps me out! I couldn’t imagine bringing back to life someone from the past. That’s not in Gods nature to bring back the same person twice. I think it would be messing with religion and morals of people.

It’s a tough subject to go on and on about. You will get many different sides of the story. Just think and ask yourself, would I really be able to have a clone of myself in the world?

UNIT PAPER 1

DNA is fascinating to me. It is everywhere. It manages how things will look, feel, taste, hear, and small. It is going to form what you are going to be whether it be an animal, cows milk, or a human being. There are so many different aspects that come along with being a human. We wonder everyday “Where did my child get that from? My husbands side probably.” DNA is everything around us. I chose to pick DNA because not to long ago, my husband had brain surgery at 22 years old. There are so many questions as to how he got the condition he had? Was he born with it? Did a family member have something similar? How come all of a sudden we are finding out this bad news?

To our attention, we found out from doctors that the canverness malformation is indeed hereditary. But how? We don’t know anyone in his family that has had the same problems he has, let alone bran surgery. Well of course DNA played a role in my husbands life. We found out he had family in Flagstaff, AZ, whom he never met, had the same exact surgery, and multiple times. But even with this information, we were still weary about the operation.

“It is thought that a solitary cavernous malformation can be formed when a single cell has two specific mutations, or changes in both copies of a particular gene. As that cell replicates and divides, it goes on to form the cavernous malformation.” There are two genes that were identified from the malformation which are CCM1, CCM2 and CMM3. These genes have unknown functions which is why there is not a stop to the malformations reoccurring.

The malformations will keep occurring with the transport of DNA. It is very hereditary in my husbands family. Just tonight we found out that his mother also has it. What does this mean for our one year old son and our unborn child? Well there is genetic testing provided. The way you would find out if your family has the gene is to do testing on the CCM1 gene. You would perform a sequence of tests on the gene. Most likely you will be able to find something wrong with the CCM1 gene, but if not you can go onto the CCM2 and CCM3 gene. If your family does not have a history of malformations, then it will be hard to diagnose if another family member has the same gene.

Is Autism really caused by vaccines?

There has been much talk about vaccines linked to Autism. 90 percent of people say there is no connection, but the other 20 percent beg to differ. The vaccine the children are getting is MMR; measles, mumps, and rubella. The first dose of the vaccine is around 12-15 months. The second dose of vaccine is between 4-6 years of age and could be given earlier if has been 28 days since the last dose of the vaccine. (1) So what is everyone really saying? Why do they hassle doctors not to give their children vaccines and why do others follow the rules?
In Vaccines & Autism: A Deadly Manuufactroversy, Harriet Hall, MD, is proving British doctor Andrew Wakefield wrong in his article The Lancet. In this article, Wakefield says that Autism is in fact caused by the MMR vaccines. He explains that the vaccines interrupts the bowl walls and somehow it shoots the interference to the brain causing Autism. Wakefield came out in 1993 that measles RNA caused Crohn’s disease. Others went off and tried to find out if his study was right and they could not find a legitimate outcome that would make the measles vaccine cause Crohn’s disease. “10 studies showed MMR doesn’t cause autism. 6 studies showed thimerosal doesn’t cause autism and 3 studies showed thimerosal doesn’t case subtle neurological problems.” (2)
I browsed through a website called “Autism Science Foundation. It has different areas you can click on such as: how common is autism?, Early signs of Autism, Autism Diagnosis, Following a diagnosis, Treatment options, and so on. The link I found interesting is Autism and Vaccines: Recommended Reading. Of the recommended readings there are no books going against vaccinations. One title is Deadly Choices: How the Anti-Vaccine Movement Threatens Us All. There are 7 recommended reading total and no one of them is bashing vaccines. You can treat autism if it is caught early enough so that the child is able to understand the concept of  kindergarten. Children can be diagnosed with autism as early as 6 months. (3)
“Even among the parents who followed the recommended schedule, 25 percent said they believed delaying vaccines avoided side effects, and 29 percent thought allowing parents to skip vaccines let them avoid "those vaccines that aren't really necessary.””  In more parents think its safer to delay vaccines it force fully asks, why do you want to delay your child’s vaccines?
What good will it do? When parents delay their child’s vaccines, they don’t believe they are entitled to disease or illness out there. They think that just because their child didn’t get sick means its ok not to get vaccinated. (4)
I didn’t have a view on autism and vaccines until just know after this assignment. Before I didn’t see the disconnection from the two, neither the connection. Today I feel that vaccines do not submit autism into young children. I don’t know how else to say that there isn’t any lick of evidence linking the two. If people are so hyped and crazy about what Andrew Wakefield said then they need to find new facts because he had other mishaps in his career that were false and he also publicly apologized for false statements by him. I can’t believe how many children are not getting vaccinated. As a parent, I am furious with the amount. 20 percent of children not getting vaccinated puts my child at risk for disease. My son has been constantly sick from daycare because parents are delaying their vaccines due to laziness! Now that is a whole other chapter. But I stick by the scientists and say there is not evidence to support vaccines and autism mesh together somehow.
In the first article it talks about Wakefield saying they are linked together. But you have an Autism website that says nothing of the sort. How could people believe that the two are linked if even the Autism website isn’t saying they are linked. It is freedom of speech to be able to promote anything you want on your website. Does this mean that the autism website supports vaccines or do they just want to keep it undercover that they believe it is true?

Plane! ✈

This morning you woke up so happy again! You made the cutest smiles for the camera this morning with your snugly self! Today we went on a plane! For the first time for you! We came to visit uncle Chris, auntie Monique,& cousins khloe, kaleb, and Rudy! You had a great time, you didn't even want to eat your food! I'm glad you weren't a turkey. You were so busy roaming around you don't care about anyone else. You got to meet uncle Luis also! You went right to him and sat in his lap and ate his cup. Now your asleep in cousins playpen. I finally got to rock you to sleep but of course I had to hum "the lion sleeps tonight." Your so stuck on that song right now. You love the YouTube video called "hippo and dog." Look it up! Well Hunny, mom is pooped. Ready for another day tomorrow! I love you!

Happy Eleven months!

Today your 11 months! I can't believe it! One more month and you'll be a year old!
The morning you woke up in such a good mood. I was making waffles for you and all of a sudden you stay talking. I run to the room to find you sitting in your crib talking. I take you out and you cuddle me. You gave good morning kisses to daddy (he went to work at 7 today) and then you at some waffles. When we got to school, you sat on the couch like a big boy! I love you man!
So this afternoon before your nap, I decided to cut your hair. Mommy cut it all off! It was about 4-5 inches long. I'm so sorry but you still look handsome as ever! I love you to the moon and back! Your amazing.
This evening I was holding you up in walking mode and you took off on your own. You took four good steps to no one. You just went. Your growing so fast' :')
Love,
Mommy
