1、Contents,Lead-in,Pre-reading,Text Study,Summary,Writing,Lead-in,Our topic today is“Cloning”.Cloning,as its name implies,is the genetic term for producing an exact copy of an animal or plant by developing artificially a cell from it.But the birth of Dolly,a mammal clone,is like setting the cat among

2、the pigeons.,Lead-in,Mode I,Mode II,Mode III,Mode IV,随 笔,Tips,Interactive Mode I,Q.1 Why did the birth of Dolly become the focus of world opinion?,Because it stood for a big breakthrough in the genetic engineering;Because it became possible to clone human beings;Because it was a deformed product of

7、ther she should have a clone or not.If she had a clone,on the one hand,she would enjoy more freedom;but on the other,she would miss something exclusive to her.My next question is:,More possibility of creating a human repair kit;2)More chances of raising an identical child after an unfortunate death;

8、3)More hope of meeting the desire of infertile couples for children;4),Tips,Q.4 What are the arguments against cloning?,Violation of nature by destroying the normal reproductive process;2)Potential threat to the diversity of human societies;3)Possibility of creating extremists as new challenges to t

15、malan achievement long thought impossiblecaught the imagination of everyone.The laboratory process that produced Dolly,an unremarkable-looking sheep,theoretically would work for humans as well.A world with human clones was suddenly within reach.It was science fiction coming to life.,Legal and Moral

16、Implications of Cloning,课文阅读,随 笔,课文缩写,结构分析,Text Analyzing and Reading,Para.2 In the wake of this announcement,governments hurried to draft guidelines for the unknown,a future filled with incredible possibilities.President Clinton ordered a national commission to study the legal and moral implication

17、s of cloning.Leaders in Europe,where most nations already prohibit human cloning,began examining the moral implications of cloning other species.,课文阅读,随 笔,课文缩写,结构分析,Text Analyzing and Reading,句型,Para.3 Like the Theory of Relativity,the splitting of the atom,and the first space flight,Dollys appearan

18、ce has generated a long list of difficult puzzles for scientists,politicians,and philosophers.And wild questions on the topic of cloning continue to mount.,课文阅读,随 笔,课文缩写,结构分析,Text Analyzing and Reading,Structural Analysis?,句型,Para.4 Why would anyone want to clone a human being in the first place?Par

19、a.5 The human cloning situations that experts consider most frequently fall into two broad categories:1)parents who want to clone a child,either to provide transplants for a dying child or to replace that child,and 2)adults who for a variety of reasons might want to clone themselves.,课文阅读,随 笔,课文缩写,结

20、构分析,Text Analyzing and Reading,Para.6 Will it be possible to clone the dead?Para.7 Perhaps,if the body is fresh,says one expert.The cloning method used requires combining an egg cell with the nucleus of a cell containing the DNA of the person to be cloned.(DNA is a very long,ribbon-like molecule tha

21、t contains our genetic information.)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.,课文阅读,随 笔,课文缩写,结构分析,Text Analyzing and Reading,Para.8 Would a cloned human be identical to the original?

22、Para.9a Identical genes dont produce identical people,as anyone who knows a set of identical twins can tell you.In fact,twins are more alike than clones would be,since they have at least shared the same environment within the mother,are usually raised in the same family,and so forth.,课文阅读,随 笔,课文缩写,结

23、构分析,Text Analyzing and Reading,Para.9b Parents could clone a second child who resembled their first in appearance,but all the evidence suggests the two would have very different personalities.Twins separated at birth do sometimes share personality characteristics,but such characteristics in a cloned

24、 son or daughter would only be reminders of the child who was lost.,课文阅读,随 笔,课文缩写,结构分析,Text Analyzing and Reading,Para.10a Even in terms of biology,a clone would not be identical to the“master copy”.The clones cells,for example,would have energy-processing machinery that came from the egg,not from t

25、he person who was cloned.But most of the physical differences between originals and copies are so minor that detection of them would require a sophisticated laboratory.The one possible exception is bearing children.,课文阅读,随 笔,课文缩写,结构分析,Text Analyzing and Reading,Para.10b The scientists responsible fo

26、r the successful cloning are not sure that Dolly will be able to have lambs.They will try to find out once shes old enough to breed.Para 11 What if parents decided to clone a child in order to harvest organs?,课文阅读,随 笔,课文缩写,结构分析,Text Analyzing and Reading,Para.12 Most experts agree that it would be p

27、sychologically 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

28、100 percent.,课文阅读,随 笔,课文缩写,结构分析,Text Analyzing and Reading,Para.13 If cloned animals could be used as organ donors,we wouldnt have to worry about cloning twins for transplants.Pigs,for example,have organs similar in size to humans.But the human body attacks and destroys tissue from other species.To

29、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.,课文阅读,随 笔,课文缩写,结构分析,Text Analyzing and Reading,句型,Para.14 How would a hu

31、ding,Para.15b Judith Martin,in her writings under the name of“Miss Manners”,suggests the phrase,“Most honored sir or madam”.Why?“One should always respect ones ancestors,”she says,“regardless of what they did to bring one into the world.”,课文阅读,随 笔,课文缩写,结构分析,Text Analyzing and Reading,句型,Para.16 That

32、 still leaves some confusion over vocabulary.The editorial director of one dictionary says that the noun“clonee”may sound like a good term,but its not clear enough.Instead,he prefers“original”and“copy”.Para.17 What are the other implications of cloning for society?,课文阅读,随 笔,课文缩写,结构分析,Text Analyzing

33、and Reading,Para.18a The gravest concern isnt really cloning itself,but genetic engineering the deliberate altering of genes to create human beings according to certain requirements.Specifically,some experts are concerned about the creation of a new(and disrespected)social class:“the clones”.One exp
