  • Human Cloning, Genetic Engineering and Privacy
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 2000 Volume III: Constitutional and Statutory Privacy Protections in the 21st Century Human Cloning, Genetic Engineering and Privacy Curriculum Unit 00.03.07 by Carolyn Williams When news of a genetically engineered mouse with Down Syndrome (who died some time later) and the cloned sheep, Dolly hit the media, many wondered how these things were possible. Many undoubtedly thought them hoaxes or scientific experiments gone wrong. How many of us, outside of the scientific community had a clue that the next quest would involve the idea of cloning a human being or genetically engineering a better human, once the technology became available? Much of the technology is now available and with it comes a host of moral and ethical concerns. Is man playing God? Will clones become a subculture? Are we risking genetic disasters? Will this technology benefit all of society or just a select few? Cloned humans and genetically engineered bodies are the stuff that yesterday’s science fiction was made of. Today, they are current event topics and promise to become our medical future. We may not be morally prepared for these events, but the technology is here. Do we ignore it, try to regulate it, hope and pray that it goes away or do we embrace this new technology? RATIONALE This is a preliminary look into the biology, technology, ethics and conscious thought involved in human cloning and genetic engineering coupled with a brief exploration of governmental policy designed to regulate its research and practice. This study reports some of the current data for and against this new bio- technology and argues an individual’s constitutional right to privacy in choosing this technology.

  • David Michael Rorvik (1944–) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) David Michael Rorvik (1944–) [1] By: Blight, Alysse Keywords: David Rorvik [2] Conception methods [3] Shettles Method [4] Family planning in literature [5] science journalist [6] David Michael Rorvik is a science journalist who publicized advancements in the field of reproductive medicine during the late twentieth century. Rorvik wrote magazine articles and books in which he discussed emerging methods and technologies that contributed to the progression of reproductive health, including sex determination [7], in vitro [8] fertilization [9], and human cloning [10]. During that time, those topics were controversial and researchers often questioned Rorvik’s work for accuracy. Rorvik contributed to the field of reproductive medicine by communicating methods of reproductive intervention and contributing to the controversy around new developmental medicine technologies. Rorvik was born on 1 November 1944 in Circle, Montana, to Frances Rorvik and Alan Rorvik. In 1962, he enrolled at the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana, where he majored in journalism. During his undergraduate career, Rorvik worked as a reporter and editor of The College Daily, the University’s student-run newspaper. The topics of Rorvik’s articles included the University’s peace rallies during the Vietnam War and caused controversy, as they challenged what he described as the provincialism of the region. Rorvik's stories caught the attention of the college president, who often threatened to discontinue the publication of the newspaper under Rorvik’s leadership as editor. In 1966, Rorvik graduated at the top of his class with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism.

  • Bioethics and Cloning, Part 1
    Bioethics Research Library The Joseph and Rose Kennedy Institute of Ethics Box 571212, Georgetown University Washington, DC 20057-1212 202-687-3885; fax: 202-687-8089 bioethics@georgetown.edu http://bioethics.georgetown.edu Bioethics and Cloning, S Part 1 Susan Cartier Poland C Laura Jane Bishop September, 2002 O This is Part 1 of a two-part Scope Note on Bioethics and Cloning. The two parts were published consecutively in the September and December 2002 issues of the P Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal. Introduction “Clone” is a collective noun (I, Stewart 1997, p. 771). A collective noun names E a group and is composed of individual members, such as “herd” or “flock.” Derived from the Greek klôn for twig or slip, “clone” was first used in biology to describe the aggregate of asexually produced progeny of an individual, either naturally occurring or man-made; the definition later expanded to mean a group of genetically identical members who originate from a single ancestor. Thus, a N clone is a group that results from the process of asexual reproduction. In nature, cloning occurs either by parthenogenesis (reproduction without O fertilization) or by fission (embryo splitting). In a pioneering experiment in 1952, Robert Briggs and Thomas J. King (I, 1952), cancer researchers at the Institute for Cancer Research (today part of the Fox Chase Cancer Center) in Philadelphia, demonstrated on frogs another method of cloning by transplanting nuclei into T enucleated cells, a technique called “nuclear transplantation,” which John B. E Gurdon and colleagues (I, 1958, 1975) used to create clones of frogs.

    A 'Fantastical' Experiment: Motivations, Practice, and Conflict in the History of Nuclear Transplantation, 1925-1970 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Nathan Paul Crowe IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Mark Borrello, Adviser December, 2011 © Nathan Paul Crowe 2011 All Rights Reserved Acknowledgements Though completing a dissertation is often seen as a solitary venture, the truth is rather different. Without the help of family, friends, colleagues, librarians, and archivists, I would never have been able to finish my first year in graduate school, let alone my thesis. During the course of my research I came in contact with many people who were invaluable to my eventual success. First and foremost are those librarians, archivists, and collections specialists who helped guide me through a sea of records. I am indebted to all of those who helped me in the process: in particular, I would like to thank Janice Goldblum and Daniel Barbiero at the National Academy of Sciences, Lee Hiltzik at the Rockefeller Archives Center, and National Cancer Institute Librarian Judy Grosberg. At the National Institutes of Health, librarian Barbara Harkins, information specialist Richard Mandel, and historian David Cantor were all extremely useful in helping me find what I needed. I also can't imagine anyone being more accommodating than librarian Beth Lewis and her staff at the Fox Chase Cancer Center Library. I was able to complete my research with the financial support of several institutions. My thanks go out to the Rockefeller Archive Center for their generous help.

  • Joe Cocker: Mad Dogs & Englishmen
    It's only rock & roll | Pep Saña | Actualitzat el 22/11/2017 a les 10:00 Joe Cocker: Mad Dogs & Englishmen Fantàstic intèrpret en directe, Joe Cocker és conegut per la seva veu aspra i pel gran sentiment que posava en les seves interpretacions, especialista per dotar de personalitat pròpia els temes dels altres amb magistrals pinzellades de soul, blues i rock, no va ser massa prolífic a nivell compositiu, tot i que va escriure alguns grans temes. Els seus grans èxits vénen de les versions, algunes de molt singulars, la de With A Little Help From My Friends no la coneixerien ni els Beatles si li canvien la lletra i altres calcades, com el Summer In The City de Lovin' Spoonful. Altres, dels molts grups i solistes versionats per Cocker són, Honeybus, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone via Animals, Harry Nilsson, Procol Harum, Rolling Stones, Box Tops, Billy Preston o Traffic. Joe Cocker va néixer el 20 de maig de 1944 a Sheffield, Anglaterra. Les principals influències musicals de Cocker durant la seva adolescència van ser Ray Charles i Lonnie Donegan. La seva veu de característica Soul li va proporcionar una marca pròpia en el món del rock dels anys 60. Abans d'aconseguir la fama havia estat en diferents bandes Pop de principis dels 60, com The Cavaliers o Vance Arnold & The Avengers. Durant aquesta etapa, Cocker es va interessar molt pel Blues, buscant discos de John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Hopkins i Howlin' Wolf. Eren uns temps totalment a l'anonimat, desconegut llevat dels seus amics i familiars.
