| | |  ethically: Encyclopedia II - Ethical consumerism - When is moral not ethical?Etymologically, morality and ethics are identical ('morality' being derived as a Latin translation of Greek 'ethics'). However, certain English speakers attempt to draw some distinction between these words in modern usage.
Notably, the adjective "ethical" is much more common amongst industry or voluntary groups or non-government organizations, while the adjective "moral" has actually been reflected in commissions and in proposed legislation, e.g. in the state of Maine, in the United States, in unions (as "mora ...

Cloning - Molecular.
Cloning a gene means to extract a gene from one organism (for example by PCR) and insert it into a second organism (usually via a vector), where it can be used and studied. Cloning a gene sometimes can refer to success in identifying a gene associated with some phenotype. For example, when biologists say that the gene for disease X has been cloned, they mean that the gene's location and DNA sequence has been identified, although the ability to specifically copy the physical DNA is a side-effe ...

| | | | ethically: Encyclopedia II - Abraham - Abraham in Judaism The account of his life is found in the Book of Genesis, beginning in Chapter 11, at the close of a genealogy of the sons of Shem (which includes among its members Eber, the eponym of the Hebrews).
His father Terah came from Ur of the Chaldees, popularly identified only since 1927 (thanks to Sir Charles Woolley) with the ancient city in southern Mesopotamia which was under the rule of the Chaldeans — although Josephus, Islamic tradition and Jewish authorities like Maimonides all concur that Ur-Of-The-Khaldis was in Northern Mesopota ...

| | | | ethically: Encyclopedia II - Ethical consumerism - Moral boycott Moral boycott is the practice of avoiding or boycotting products which a consumer believes to be associated with unnecessary exploitation or other unethical behaviour. A single product may be the subject of a boycott if it is produced by factory farming, for example, or if it is considered to be harmful to the environment. Similarly, an entire corporation may be boycotted for perceived unethical behaviour (such as discriminatory hiring practices), or for investing a portion of its profits in (for example) the arms industry. Such actio ...

| | | | ethically: Encyclopedia II - Cloning - Species cloned The modern cloning techniques involving nuclear transfers have been successfully performed on several species. Land mark experiments in chronological order:
Tadpole: (1951)
Carp: (1963) In China, embryologist Tong Dizhou cloned a fish. He published the findings in an obscure Chinese science journal which was never translated into English. [2]
Sheep: (1986) From early embryonic cells by Steen Willadsen. Megan and Morag cloned from differentiated embryonic cells in June 1995 and Dolly the sheep in 1997.

| | | | ethically: Encyclopedia II - Ethical consumerism - Global morality? In "The Global Markets As An Ethical System", John McMurtry argues that there is no purchasing decision that does not itself imply some moral choice, and that there is in fact no purchasing that is not ultimately moral in nature. This mirrors older arguments, especially by the Anabaptists, e.g. Mennonites, Amish, that one must accept all personal moral and spiritual liability of all harms done at any distance in space or time to anyone by one's own choices. Accordingly purchasing for vanity or status is abhorred and shunned. This theory is e ...

| | | | ethically: Encyclopedia II - Cloning - Health aspects However, the success rate has been very low: Dolly was born after 276 failed attempts; 70 calves have been created from 9,000 attempts and one third of them died young; Prometea took 328 attempts, and, more recently, Paris Texas was created after 400 attempts. Notably, although the first clones were frogs, no adult cloned frog has yet been produced from a somatic adult nucleus donor cell.
A surprising development to do with aging resulted from finds that Dolly was apparently subject to accelerated aging. Aging of this type is thought ...

| | | | ethically: Encyclopedia II - Cloning - Technical Hurdles Cloning is quite inefficient and usually there are over 600 to 1000 nuclear transfers before one is able to grow into a stem cell. This inefficiency is thought to be due to genetic imprinting in the cloned adult cell that interferes with the correct gene expression in the embryo. Even those animals that are successfully cloned are not as heathly as the original animal. For example, Dolly had arthritis and sign of premature aging. see ...

| | | | ethically: Encyclopedia II - Cloning - Commercial cloning While the promise of cloning extinct species has been a long standing justification for the development of cloning, there are many other applications, such as cloning animals (eg. cattle and horses), which appears to offer a much faster and more efficient way of propagating desirable genes (as chosen by humans) than traditional breeding.
Another application which has recently become feasible is the cloning of pets. The company Genetic Savings and Clone was established to provide such a service, using chromatid transfer which is arguab ...

| | | | ethically: Encyclopedia II - Cloning - Dolly The Sheep Dolly (5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003), an ewe, was the first mammal to have been successfully cloned from an adult cell. She was cloned at the Roslin Institute in Scotland and lived there until her death when she was 6. Her birth was announced on 22 February 1997.
Ian Wilmut is the leader of the research team who created Dolly.
The name "Dolly" came from a suggestion by Jesse Haase who helped with her birth, in honour of Dolly Parton, because it was a mammary cell that was cloned. The technique that was made famous by her bi ...

| | | | ethically: Encyclopedia II - Ethical consumerism - Morality as label? There are other such uses of labels to reassure buyers by indicating when goods are "organic", "kosher", "halaal", "vegan", "free-range", contain recycled materials or otherwise morally desirable. In this sense the label serves as a marker or token of some reliable validation process, some instructional capital, much as does a brand name or a nation's flag. It also signals some social capital, or trust, in some community of auditors that must follow those instructions to validate those labels. Theoretically, any such label could be false, an ...

| | | | ethically: Encyclopedia II - Cloning - Cloning extinct species Cloning, or more precisely, the reconstruction of functional DNA from extinct species has, for decades, been a dream of some scientists. The possible implications of this were dramatized in the novel by Michael Crichton and high budget Hollywood thriller, "Jurassic Park". In real life, one of the most anticipated targets for cloning was once the Woolly mammoth, but attempts to extract DNA from frozen mammoths have been unsuccessful.
In 2000,a cow named Bessie gave birth to a cloned Asian guar, an endangered species; this provided hope ...

Cloning - Christian views.
Main article: Christian views on cloning
Christian views of cloning are diverse and sometimes conflicting.
Roman Catholicism and other conservative Christian denominations believe that the soul enters the body at the moment of conception when the sperm and egg unite. They feel harvesting cells for embryonic cloning is tantamount to live human experimentation and contrary to God's will. Further, they maintain that producing cloned zygotes that are unlike ...
