Presentation Transcript

Therapeutic Cloning and Recombinant DNA Technology : 

Therapeutic Cloning and Recombinant DNA Technology An Awareness Campaign

Where it All Began… : 

Where it All Began… Cloning started in the late 1800s! 1952: First cloned animal was a Tadpole 1996: Dolly was cloned

Therapeutic Cloning : 

Therapeutic Cloning Is the use of stem cells, from human embryos, to study human development and to treat diseases Stem cells are used to produce the vast array of cells that our bodies are made up of

Basically… : 

Basically…

Slide 5: 

Manipulation of these cells, or “letting them specialize”, could be used to produce tissues and viable organs

What We Can Do : 

What We Can Do Develop new tissues Cartilage Skin New organs Kidney Heart Liver

Just Imagine… : 

Just Imagine… Creating skin for severely burned victims New kidneys for patients in need Finding a new way to treat diabetics Restoring damaged heart muscle after a heart attack Generating new cartilaginous structures for accident victims

This is only the beginning… : 

This is only the beginning… With more research and medical breakthroughs we could potentially… Eliminate the Organ Donor List and Increase Availability of New Tissues

Recombinant DNA Technology : 

Recombinant DNA Technology Scientists are able to create a copy of a gene So that they can study that gene thoroughly It is also referred to as gene cloning

What This Means : 

What This Means We could determine and possibly replace a bad gene with Gene Therapy A bad gene is one that typically encodes for a disease Gene therapy can be used as a treatment or it can be preventative

What We Could Do : 

What We Could Do We could treat and eliminate diseases like: Parkinson’s Muscular Dystrophy Sickle-Cell Tay-Sachs Alzheimer’s Thyroid Disease

Here’s a Great Example :
