Unit 8 Section A I. Background Knowledge Cloning: The process of making a genetically identical organism through nonsexual means. Bill Clinton: the 42 nd President of the United States(1993-2001). DNA: (deoxyribonucleic acid 脱氧核糖核酸) the chemical at the center of the cells of living things which controls the structure and carries genetics information during reproduction. II. Text Analysis Main idea of the text: When a world with human clones was suddenly within reach, people’s reactions to it were strong and varied. They puzzled over a number of questions about the legal and moral implications that had arisen from cloning. Devices for developing it: 列举法 讨论法 1. Listing (列举法) In the main part ( the third part)of the passage, the author lists as many as 6puzzles on the issue of cloning. The list of 6 puzzles: 1) Why would anyone want to clone a human being in the first place? (Para. 4) 2) Will it be possible to clone the dead? (Para. 6) 3) Would a cloned human be identical to the original? (Para. 8) 4) What if parents decided to clone a child in order to harvest organs?(Para. 11) 5) How would a human clone refer to the donor of its DNA? (Para. 14) 6) What are the other implications of cloning for society? (Para. 17) 2. Discussion (讨论法) The author deals with the 6 common puzzles by offering different opinions from different experts through the device of discussion. Puzzles & Discussions: Puzzle 1: Why would anyone want to clone a human being in the first place? (Para. 4) Discussion: Most experts consider the human cloning falls into two broad categories: 1)parents clone a child to provide transplants for a dying child or to replace that child, and 2) adults might want to clone themselves.(Para.5) Puzzle 2: Will it be possible to clone the dead? (Para. 6) Discussion: Perhaps, if the body is fresh, says one expert. The cloning method used by Wilmut’s
lab requires combining an egg cell with the nucleus of a cell containing the dna of the person be cloned. And that means that the nucleus must be intact. Cells die and the cell nucleus begins to break apart after death. But, yes, in theory at least it might be possible.(Para. 7) Puccle 3: Would a cloned human be identical to the original?(Para. 8) Discussion: Most of the physical differences between originals and copies are so minor that detection of them would require a sophisticated laboratory. The only possible exception is bearing children. Wilmut and his coworkers are not sure that Dolly will be able to have lambs. They will try to find out once shes old enough to breed. ( Para. 10 Puccle 4a: What if parents decided to clone a child in order to harvest organs? (Para. 11) Discussion: Most experts agree that it would be psychologically harmful if a child sensed he had been brought into the world simply as an organ donor. But some parents already produce second children with nonfatal transplants in mind, and many experts do not oppose this. Cloning would increase the chances for a tissue match from 25 percent to nearly 100 percent. (Para. 12) Puccle 4b: What if cloned animals could be used as organ donors?(Para. 13) Discussion:. But the human body attacks and destroys tissue from other species. To get around that, one company is trying to alter the pigs genetic code to prevent pig organs from being attacked. If the companys technicians succeed, it may be more efficient to produce such pigs by cloning than by current methods. (Para. 13) Puccle 5: How would a human clone refer to the donor of its DNA?(Para. 14) Discussion:.Judith Martin, in her writings under the name of"Most honored sir or madam Why?"One should always respect ones ancestors, "she says, "regardless of what they did to bring one dictionary says that the noun "clonee"may sound like a good term, but it's not clear enough Instead, he prefers"original"and"copy(Para. 15-16) Puccle 6: What are the other implications of cloning for society( Para. I7) Discussion:.Specifically, some experts are concerned about the creation of a new(and disrespected )social class: the clones". One expert believes the situation could be comparable to what occurred in the 16th century, when Europeans puzzled over how to classify the unfamiliar habitants of the Americas, and endlessly debated whether or not they were humans.
