Does Mother Nature Know Better?

ACloning – using genetic engineering to make exact copies of living plants and animals – has been in science fiction for years. Since 1997, with a cloning of a sheep Dolly, it has become part of real life and the subject of public debate.

BFor some people, human cloning is acceptable in medicine (1) __________ the criticism that it is unnatural. For example, human tissue can be cloned for use in organ replacement or gene therapy. Also, organs could be provided by human clones. When a child is suffering from a fatal disease and needs an organ donor, its parents could have a younger cloned brother or sister – effectively an identical twin. This would provide 100% donor compatibility (2) _________ an organ donated from another brother or sister would only stand a 25% chance of being successful. Moreover, couples who can’t have children may wish to have a child from themselves. Finally, endangered animals could be cloned to increase their numbers.

C(3) ________ , there are many arguments against cloning. (4) _________ many people saw the cloning of Dolly as a major breakthrough, it is just another step towards ‘playing with nature’. Firstly, (5) _________ what they say, scientists have no idea of the long-term effects of genetic engineering. More and more genetically altered plants are being produced, and cloned farm animals are next. (6) ________ , creating ‘perfect’ plants and animals could eliminate the great variety of species on our planet. Furthermore, some scientists say we could transplant organs from cloned animals into humans, (7) ________ the risks to health are enormous and many people find the idea repulsive.

D It is clear that we need to regulate genetic engineering and stop experiments now, before it is too late!

LESSON 3

Dwelling and its Types

My home is not a place, it is people.

Burn not your house to rid it of the mouse.

Keep a thing seven years and you will find a use of it.

Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.

It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home.

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.

May your home always be too small to hold all of your friends.
