…The issue of genetic engineering has always been a very controversial one. The cloning of “Dolly” the sheep was hailed as a revolutionary breakthrough by scientists while many groups were sceptical about its repercussions. Only recently however has…

…ability to transplant DNA has led to major developments in cloning. Our research into stem cells has made cures to life threatening disease within arms reach. If we can learn more about early cell development, then we can gain more control over a baby’s…

…by explaining exactly what stem cell research entails. There are two main fields in this research: the cloning of human embryos and the use of stem cells to, in theory, cure a variety of diseases; from diabetes to Alzheimer's disease. The projected benefits from…
