人类进化英语
人类进化英语The journey of human evolution is a captivating and complex narrative that spans millions of years, tracing our ancestral roots and the remarkable transformations that have shaped our species. From the earliest hominins to the modern Homo sapiens, the story of human evolution is a testament to the resilience, adaptability, and ingenuity of our kind.The origins of human evolution can be traced back to the emergence of the first hominins, a group of primates that diverged from the common ancestor shared with chimpanzees and bonobos. These early hominins, such as Sahelanthropus tchadensis and Ardipithecus ramidus, possessed a unique set of characteristics that set them apart from their ape-like predecessors. They exhibited a more upright posture, a larger brain, and the beginnings of tool-making capabilities, laying the foundation for the remarkable journey that was to come.As time progressed, the hominins continued to evolve, giving rise to a diverse array of species, each with its own unique adaptations andevolutionary trajectories. The genus Australopithecus, which emerged around 4 million years ago, represented a significant step forward in human evolution. These early hominins, exemplified by species like Australopithecus afarensis and Australopithecus africanus, had a more advanced bipedal locomotion, a larger brain, and the ability to use primitive tools, foreshadowing the extraordinary capabilities that would eventually emerge in our own species.The emergence of the genus Homo, approximately 2.5 million years ago, marked a pivotal moment in the story of human evolution. The first members of this genus, such as Homo habilis and Homo erectus, exhibited a remarkable expansion of brain size, the development of more sophisticated tools, and the ability to harness the power of fire. These advancements allowed them to adapt to a wider range of environments, expand their geographic range, and engage in more complex social and cognitive behaviors.As Homo erectus continued to evolve, they eventually gave rise to the species Homo sapiens, our own ancestors. The transition from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens was a gradual and multifaceted process, marked by the emergence of crucial physiological and cognitive traits. The development of a larger and more complex brain, the refinement of tool-making techniques, and the ability to engage in abstract thought and symbolic communication set thestage for the remarkable achievements that would define the human experience.The story of Homo sapiens is one of remarkable adaptability and resilience. As our ancestors spread across the globe, they encountered a wide range of environmental challenges, from the harsh climates of the Ice Age to the diverse ecosystems of the tropics. Through their ingenuity and problem-solving skills, they were able to not only survive but thrive in these diverse settings, developing unique cultural traditions, technological advancements, and social structures that have shaped the course of human history.One of the most remarkable aspects of human evolution is the remarkable capacity for cultural evolution. Unlike other species, which rely primarily on genetic inheritance to pass on information, humans have developed the ability to transmit knowledge, beliefs, and skills through language, teaching, and social learning. This has allowed us to rapidly accumulate and build upon our collective understanding, driving the development of complex civilizations, scientific discoveries, and technological innovations that have transformed the world around us.As we continue to explore the depths of our evolutionary past, new discoveries and insights are constantly emerging, shedding light on the complex and fascinating journey that has led to the emergenceof modern Homo sapiens. From the analysis of ancient fossils and DNA to the study of comparative anatomy and behavior, researchers are piecing together the intricate puzzle of human evolution, revealing the remarkable adaptations and transformations that have shaped our species over millions of years.Yet, even as we celebrate the remarkable achievements of our evolutionary past, we must also grapple with the challenges and responsibilities that come with our unique position as the dominant species on the planet. As we continue to shape the world around us, we must do so with a deep understanding of our own history and the delicate balance of the natural systems that sustain us. By embracing our evolutionary heritage and the lessons it can teach us, we can strive to build a future that is sustainable, equitable, and true to the remarkable potential of the human species.In conclusion, the story of human evolution is a testament to the remarkable resilience, adaptability, and ingenuity of our species. From the earliest hominins to the modern Homo sapiens, the journey of our evolution has been marked by a series of remarkable transformations, each building upon the achievements of the past and setting the stage for the remarkable accomplishments that have defined the human experience. As we continue to explore and unravel the mysteries of our evolutionary past, we can draw inspiration and guidance to navigate the challenges of the presentand shape a future that honors the remarkable potential of the human species.。
化身博士(牛津书虫中英文双版本)
简介你是否想过变成另外一个人？是否曾看着你所认识的某个人想：“他想干什么就干什么，怎么我就不行？”你是否想到变成另外一个人，就算只有一天，你也可以随心所欲了，想干什么就干什么？没人会为此指责你的，因为没人知道那个人就是你——本来么，那已经不是你了。
要是变成了另一个人该多么刺激啊！一天，偶尔一下也可以，就是别太久了，否则要是总变成别的人，也许真会成了别人，再难变回自己了。
这些想法对有的人来说是很危险的，尤其对杰基尔博士就是这样，因为他是个聪明绝顶的科学家，他找到了一种方法，把幻想变成了现实。
罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森（1850—1894）是苏格兰著名的小说家，著有长篇、短篇小说、旅行札记、诗歌和戏剧等作品。
他的著名小说《化身博士》曾被多次搬上银幕。
1 The mysterious doorMr Utterson the lawyer was a quiet，serious man．Hewas shy with strangers and afraid of showing his feelings．Among friends，however，his eyes shone with kindnessand goodness．And，although this goodness never found itsway into his conversation，it showed itself in his way of life．He did not allow himself many enjoyable things in life．He ateand drank simply and，although he enjoyed the theatre，hehad not been to a play for twenty years．However，he wasgentler towards other men' s weaknesses，and was alwaysready to help rather than blame them．As a lawyer，he was often the last good person that evil-doers met on their way toprison，or worse．These people often carried with them memories of his politeness and fairness．Mr Utterson's best friend was a distant cousin calledRichard Enfield，who was well known as a fun-loving 'manabout town'．Nobody could understand why they werefriends，as they were different from each other in every way．They often tooklong walks together，however，marchingthrough the streets of London in companionable silence．One of these walks used to take them down a narrow sidestreet in a busy part of London．It was a clean，busy，friendlystreet with bright little shops and shiny doorknockers．Nearthe end of this street，however，stood a dark，mysterious，windowless building．The door had neither bell nor knockerand looked dusty and uncared for．Dirty children played fearlessly on the doorstep，and nobody ever opened the door todrive them away．One day，as Mr Enfield and his friend passed the building，Mr Enfield pointed to it．'Have you ever noticed that place？'he asked．'It remindsme of a very strange story．''Really？'said Mr Utterson．'Tell me．''Well，'began Enfield，'I was coming home about threeo'clock on a black winter morning，when suddenly I saw twopeople．The first was a short man who was walking along thestreet，and the second was a little girl who was running as fastas she could．Well，the two bumped into each other and thechild fell down．Then a terrible thing happened．The mancalmly walked all over the child's body with his heavy boots，and left her screaming on the ground．It was an inhuman thingto do．I ran after the man，caught him and fetched him back．There was already a small crowd around the screaming child．The man was perfectly cool，but he gave me a very evil look，which made me feel sick in my stomach．The child's familythen arrived，and also a doctor．The child had been sent tofetch the doctor for a sick neighbour，and was on her wayhome again．'“The child is more frightened than hurt，”said thedoctor—and that，you would think，was the end of the story．But，you see，I had taken a violent dislike to the short man．So had the child's family—that was only natural．But the doctor，who seemed a quiet，kindly man，was also looking at ourprisoner with murder in his eyes．'The doctor and I understood each other perfectly．Together we shouted at the man，and told him we would tell this story all over London so that his name would be hated．'He looked back at us with a proud，blach look．“Nameyour price，”he said．'We made him agree to a hundred pounds for the child' sfamily．With another black look，the man led us to that doorover there．He took out a key and let himself into thebuilding．Presently he came out and handed us ten pounds ingold and a cheque for ninety pounds from Coutts's Bank．Thename on the cheque was a well-known one．'“See here，”said the doctor doubtfully，“it isn't usual for aman to walk into an empty house at four in the morning andcome out with another man's cheque for nearly a hundredpounds．”'“Don't worry，”said the man with an ugly look，“I'll staywith you until the banks open，andchange the chequemyself．”'So we all went off，the doctor and the prisoner and myself，and spent the rest of the night at my house．In the morningwe went together to the bank．Sure enough，the cheque wasgood，and the money was passed to the child's family．' 'Well，well，'said Mr Utterson．'Yes，'said Enfield，'it's a strange story．My prisoner wasclearly a hard，cruel man．But the man whose name was onthe cheque was well known all over London for his kind andgenerous acts．Why would a man like that give his cheque to acriminal？''And you don't know if the writer of the cheque lives inthat building？'asked Mr Utterson．'I don't like to ask，'said his friend．'In my experience，it's not a good idea to ask too many questions，in case the answers are ugly，violent ones．But I've studied the place alittle．It doesn't seem like a house．There's no other door，and the only person who uses that door is the man I've just described to you．There are threewindows on the side of thehouse，which look down onto a small courtyard．The windowsare shut，but they're always clean．There's a chimney too，which is usually smoking．So somebody must live there．'The two men continued on their walk．Then Utterson brokethe silence．'Enfield，'he said，'you're right about not asking toomany questions．However，I want to ask the name of the manwho walked over the child．''Very well，' said Enfield．'He told us his name wasHyde．''What does he look like？''He's not easy to describe，although I remember him perfectly．He's a strange-looking man．He's short，but has astrong，heavy body．There's something wrong with his appearance，something ugly and unpleasing—no，somethinghateful．I disliked him at once．'Mr Utterson thought deeply．'Are you sure he used a key？'he asked．'What do you mean？'asked Enfield in surprise．'I know it must seem strange，'said his friend．'But yousee，if I don't ask you the name on the cheque，it's because Iknow it already…''Well，why didn't you tell me？'said his friend rathercrossly．'Anyway，he did have a key，and he still has it．Isaw him use it only a week ago．'Mr Utterson looked at him thoughtfully，but said nothingmore．1 一扇神秘的门律师厄特森先生是个不爱说话、一本正经的人。

human cloning-a blessing or curse250字
Human cloning ——a blessing orcurse？With the rapid development of the biological technology, Cloning has become an inevitable topic. As we have benefit a lot from animal cloning, is human cloning a necessary? However, I will be the last one to agree with that.From my point of view, human cloning is absolutely a curse .it damaged human dignity, ruined social morality and made the whole society out of control.We are human beings because we are special in our own way, everyone have its unique character. But it’s hard to define whether clone man are human or not ,it’s just a copy of human ,it makes people lost human dignity and diversity, we are not special anymore.Social morality is a big problem too. We obey the morality rules to standard social order. But suppose a child grows up knowing her mother is her sister, her grandmother is her mother, what kind of pressure will he feel. While the concept of the generation is reversed it will lead to moral, social as well as legal confusion. What’s more, we should pay attention to the social order .clone provide a possibility for human to making use of the best gene to create a “great people”. So the human beings will be divided intosomeone who worth cloning or someone who not, human will be ranked, and this society will get into serious struggle with anxiety and split.In a word, clone technique itself is innocent, but once it is put to human cloning, it will act like an atomic bomb.。

人们开始克隆英文作文
人们开始克隆英文作文英文：Cloning English essays is becoming a trend among students. Personally, I think it's not a good idea. Firstly, it's unethical and goes against academic integrity. Copying someone else's work is considered plagiarism, which canlead to serious consequences such as failing the assignment or even getting expelled from school. Secondly, it doesn't help with learning and improving one's writing skills. Writing is a process of self-discovery and self-expression. By cloning someone else's work, one is not developing their own voice and style.Instead of cloning essays, students should focus on developing their own writing skills. This can be achievedby reading extensively, practicing writing regularly, and seeking feedback from teachers and peers. It's also important to understand the assignment prompt and requirements, and to plan and organize one's thoughtsbefore starting to write.In conclusion, cloning English essays is not a solution to improve one's writing skills. It's unethical and doesn't help with personal growth. Students should focus on developing their own writing skills through practice, feedback, and self-reflection.中文：克隆英文作文正在成为学生们的一种潮流，但我认为这不是一个好主意。

作文人类克隆英文作文
作文人类克隆英文作文英文：Human cloning is a highly controversial topic that has sparked intense debates and ethical concerns. The idea of creating genetically identical copies of human beings raises a myriad of ethical, moral, and practical questions. On one hand, proponents argue that human cloning could potentially offer solutions to infertility, genetic diseases, and even provide organs for transplantation. On the other hand, opponents raise concerns about thepotential for abuse, exploitation, and the erosion of individuality.From a personal perspective, I believe that human cloning raises significant ethical and moral dilemmas. The idea of creating a duplicate of oneself raises questions about the uniqueness and individuality of human beings. If we were to clone a person, would they have the same rights and freedoms as a naturally born individual? Would they betreated as a mere commodity or object? These are complex questions that challenge our understanding of what it means to be human.Furthermore, the potential for abuse and exploitationis a real concern. For example, in the context of organ transplantation, there is a risk that cloned individuals could be seen as a source of spare parts rather than as autonomous beings with their own rights and agency. This dehumanization of cloned individuals is deeply troubling and raises serious ethical red flags.In addition to ethical concerns, there are also practical and scientific challenges associated with human cloning. The process is fraught with technical difficulties and has a high rate of failure. Moreover, the long-term health and well-being of cloned individuals remain uncertain. There have been numerous studies showing that cloned animals often suffer from a range of health issues, including premature aging and organ failure.In conclusion, while the idea of human cloning may holdsome potential benefits, the ethical, moral, and practical concerns cannot be ignored. The potential for abuse and exploitation, as well as the uncertainties surrounding the health and well-being of cloned individuals, raise serious red flags. As such, I believe that the risks and ethical dilemmas associated with human cloning outweigh any potential benefits.中文：人类克隆是一个备受争议的话题，引发了激烈的辩论和伦理关切。
人类的演化过程的英语作文
人类的演化过程的英语作文The Grand Tapestry of Human Evolution: A Journey Through Time and Adaptation.In the vast tapestry of life, the evolution of humans stands as a captivating narrative of adaptation, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of survival. This extraordinary journey began millions of years ago, with humble beginnings that gradually shaped the complexities of our species.The Origins: Primate Ancestry.Around 6-7 million years ago, in the forested landscapes of Africa, a group of primates embarked on a fateful evolutionary path that would lead to the emergenceof humans. These early primates, known as hominins, possessed a unique combination of traits that set themapart from their kin. They were bipedal, freeing theirhands for tool use, and their brains were undergoing a remarkable expansion.One of the earliest known hominin species is Ardipithecus ramidus, who lived approximately 4.4 million years ago. With its long, grasping toes and the ability to walk upright, Ardipithecus represented a pivotal transition in human evolution. Over time, other hominin species emerged, including Australopithecus afarensis (Lucy) and Australopithecus africanus, who possessed increasingly human-like features.The Genus Homo: The Birth of Our Lineage.Around 2.5 million years ago, a new chapter in human evolution unfolded with the emergence of the genus Homo. Homo habilis, meaning "handy man," was one of the earliest members of this lineage. With larger brains and more advanced toolmaking abilities, Homo habilis embarked on a path of rapid cultural and technological development.The subsequent species, Homo erectus, was a highly successful and widespread hominin that roamed across Asia and Africa. With its upright posture, robust physique, andthe ability to control fire, Homo erectus played a pivotal role in human colonization beyond Africa.Homo Sapiens: The Dawn of Modernity.Approximately 200,000 years ago, the most recentchapter in human evolution commenced with the emergence of Homo sapiens, our own species. Archaic Homo sapiens, suchas Neanderthals and Denisovans, coexisted with us for a time, but eventually, Homo sapiens prevailed.With superior cognitive abilities, advanced language skills, and the capacity for complex social organization, Homo sapiens embarked on a remarkable journey of cultural innovation, technological advancement, and global expansion. We developed sophisticated tools, mastered agriculture, and established complex societies that laid the foundation for human civilization.The Enduring Legacy: Adaptation and Resilience.Throughout our evolutionary history, humans have facedcountless challenges and environmental pressures. From the harsh conditions of the Ice Ages to the complexities of modern society, our species has demonstrated an extraordinary capacity for adaptation and resilience.Genetic diversity, cultural innovation, and technological ingenuity have been key drivers of our success. Through natural selection, our populations have evolved to thrive in a wide range of environments. Our ability to learn, collaborate, and modify our surroundings has allowed us to overcome obstacles and shape our own destiny.As we continue to unravel the mysteries of human evolution, we gain a deeper understanding of our origins, the forces that have shaped our species, and the potential for our future. The grand tapestry of human evolution is a testament to the power of adaptation, the resilience of life, and the boundless potential of the human spirit.。

科学家于1996年在苏格兰爱丁堡附近的罗斯林研究所创造了第一只克隆哺乳动物多利羊。
多莉是通过一种叫做体细胞核移植的技术创造的。
科学家们从一只成年羊的乳腺中取出一个细胞，并将其含有DNA的细胞核移植到一个卵细胞中，而卵细胞的细胞核已被移除。
该细胞发育成一个正常的胚胎，并被植入一只代孕母羊体内，代孕母羊怀着胎儿，生下了多莉，一个与捐赠细胞核的成年母羊完全相同的基因复制。
自多莉以来，研究人员已经克隆了许多大型和小型哺乳动物，包括马、山羊、牛、小鼠、猪、猫和兔子。
他们希望"治疗性克隆"(一种干细胞疗法)有朝一日能提供基因匹配的组织和器官，用于移植手术，而不会产生病人排斥的风险。
Reproductive cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of an organism, with exactly the same DNA. Scientists created the first cloned mammal, Dolly the sheep, at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh in Scotland in 1996.Dolly was created by a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer. Scientists took a cell from an adult sheep's mammary gland and transplanted its DNA-containing nucleus into an egg cell from which thenucleus had been removed. The cell developed into a normal embryo, which was implanted into a surrogate mother sheep who carried the fetus to term and gave birth to Dolly, an exact genetic replica of the adult female that donated the cell nucleus.Since Dolly, researchers have cloned many large and small mammals including horses, goats, cows, mice, pigs, cats and rabbits. They hope that 'therapeutic cloning' (a type of stem cell therapy) may one day provide genetically matched tissues and organs that can be used in transplant operations without any risk of the patient rejecting them.。

3 It's a satisfying life too. In the summer we canoe on the river, go picnicking in the woods and take long bicycle rides. In the winter we ski and skate. We get excited about sunsets. We love the smell of the earth warming and the sound of cattle lowing. We watch for hawks in the sky and deerin the cornfields.
这也是一种令人满足的生活。夏日里我们在河上荡舟，在林子里野餐，骑着自行车长时间漫游。冬日里我们滑雪溜冰。我们为落日的余辉而激动。我们爱闻大地回暖的气息，爱听牛群哞叫。我们守着看鹰儿飞过上空，看玉米田间鹿群嬉跃。
4 But the good life can get pretty tough. Three months ago when it was 30 below, we spent two miserable days hauling firewood up the river on a sled. Three months from now, it will be 95 above and we will be cultivating corn, weeding strawberries and killing chickens. Recently, Sandy and I had to retile the back roof. Soon Jim, 16 and Emily, 13, the youngest of our four children, will help me make some long-overdue improvements on the outdoor toilet that supplements our indoor plumbing when we are working outside. Later this month, we'll spray the orchard, paint the barn, plant the garden and clean the hen house before the new chicks arrive.

Human_Cloning__Don_t_Just_Say_No
PASSAGE II Human Cloning, Don't just Say No!That scientists have cloned a sheep sends academics[1] and the public into a panic at the prospect that humans might be next. That's an understandable reaction. Cloning is a radical challenge to the most fundamental laws of biology, so it's not unreasonable to be concerned that it might threaten human society and dignity. Yet much of the ethical opposition seems also to grow out of an unthinking disgust.[2] And that makes it hard for even trained scientists and ethicists to see the matter clearly. While human cloning might not offer great benefits to humanity[3], no one has yet made a persuasive case[4] that it would do any real harm, either.Theologians contend that to clone a human would violate human dignity. That would surely be true if a cloned individual were treated as a lesser being,[5] with fewer rights or lower stature[6]. But why suppose that cloned persons wouldn't share the same rights and dignity as the rest of us? A leading ethicist has suggested that cloning would violate the "right to genetic identity"[7]. Where did he come up with such a right? It makes perfect sense to say that adult persons have a right not to be cloned without their voluntary, informed consent[8]. But if such consent is given, whose "right" to genetic identity would be violated?Many of the science-fiction scenarios prompted by the prospect of human cloning turn out, upon reflection, to be absurdly improbable. There's the fear, for instance, that parents might clone a child to have "spare parts"[9] in case the original child needs an organ transplant. But parents of identical twins don't view one child as an organ farm[10] for the other. Why should cloned children's parents be any different?Another disturbing thought is that cloning will lead to efforts to breed individuals with genetic qualities perceived as exceptional (math geniuses, basketball players). Such ideas are repulsive because of the atrocities committed by the Nazis in the name of eugenics. But there's a vast difference between "selective breeding" as practiced by totalitarian regimes (where the urge to produce certain types of people leads to efforts to eradicate other types) and the immeasurably more benign forms already practiced in democratic societies (where, say, lawyers freely choose to marry other lawyers).[11] Banks stocked with the frozen sperm of geniuses already exist. They haven't created a master race[12] because only a tiny number of women have wanted to impregnate themselves this way. Why would it be different if human cloning became available?So who will likely take advantage of cloning? Perhaps a grieving couple whose child is dying. This might seem psychologically twisted. But a cloned child born to such dubious parents stands no greater or lesser chance of being loved, or rejected, or warped than a child normally conceived.[13] Infertile couples are also likely to seek out cloning. That such couples have other options (in vitro fertilization or adoption) is not an argument for denying them the right to clone.[14] Or consider an example raised by Judge Richard Posner: a couple in which the husband has some tragic genetic defect. Currently, if this couple wants a genetically related child, they have four not altogether pleasant[15] options. They can reproduce naturally and risk passing on the disease to the child. They can go to a sperm bank and take a chance on unknown genes. They can try in vitro fertilization and dispose of any afflicted embryo-though that might be objectionable, too. Or they can get a male relative ofthe father to donate sperm, if such a relative exists. This is one case where even people unnerved by cloning might see it[16] as not the worst option.Even if human cloning offers no obvious benefits to humanity, why ban it? In a democratic society we don't usually pass laws outlawing something before there is actual or probable evidence of harm.[17] A moratorium on further research into human cloning might make sense, in order to consider calmly the grave questions it raises, If the moratorium is then lifted, human cloning should remain a research activity for an extended period[18]. And if it is ever attempted, it should-and no doubt will-take place only with careful scrutiny and layers of legal oversight. Most important, human cloning should be governed by the same laws that now protect human rights. A world not safe for cloned humans would be a world not safe for the rest of us.

humancloningascientistsstory概括
Human Cloning: A Scientist's Story 概括：
这个故事讲述了一位科学家对克隆人的研究与探索。
这位科学家对克隆技术产生了浓厚的兴趣，并致力于研究如何利用这项技术为人类带来福祉。
在故事中，科学家描述了他对克隆技术的理解，以及他如何通过实验和研究发现人类胚胎干细胞，这是克隆技术的基础。
他分享了他在研究过程中遇到的挑战和困难，以及他如何克服这些困难，最终成功地培养出了人类胚胎干细胞。
此外，科学家还提到了他对克隆技术的看法和担忧。
他认为，虽然克隆技术可以为医学和科学领域带来巨大的进步，但同时也存在伦理和道德问题。
他强调了克隆技术需要谨慎使用，并呼吁社会各界共同关注这个问题。
总之，Human Cloning: A Scientist's Story 是一个关于克隆人研究的真实故事，展现了科学家对克隆技术的探索、发现和思考。
疯狂英语：Human1)Cloning,OurNightmare-(2)
疯狂英语：Human1)Cloning,OurNightmare?(2)克隆人:人类的恶梦？今晚，围绕一个很具争议性的问题进行的新闻调查有了结果，其内容就是克隆人类。
当问到科学家是否应该被允许对人进行克隆时，85%的被调查者作了否定的回答，只有11%的人持肯定态度。
美国国会正为关于禁止克隆人的法案积极工作。
国会在今天听取了一位打算进行克隆人的科学家的说法。
在肯塔基州列克星顿拥挤的实验室里，帕诺斯·扎沃斯医生声称他马上就要克隆人了。
扎沃斯医生是一名生育专家，他认为，替不育夫妇进行克隆再合适不过了，他说他会在年内把克隆的胚胎植入12名妇女体内。
扎沃斯医生：我们计划在这个夏天先在四对夫妇身上进行实验。
记者：你打算在什么地方进行实验？扎沃斯医生：地球上的某个地方。
这使得扎沃斯医生成为世界上少数几名肯定克隆人类安全性的科学家之一。
世界上每天都有像牛和猪这样的动物被克隆，但目前技术并不完善，出现畸形的比率也很高。
但扎沃斯医生说他掌握的技术比其他所有人都先进。
扎沃斯医生：我们掌握的技术差不多比所有进行动物克隆的科学家知道的都多。
他的预言把他带到了美国国会关于克隆的听证会上。
（美国国会听证会：2002年可能会成为克隆之年。
）这次听证会是由来自印第安那州的国会议员马克·苏德召集的，他再明白不过地把自己的观点公布于众，他认为克隆人会对人类生活造成威胁。
马克·苏德：不管克隆人类的目的是什么，这个行动本身会把人的生命沦为商品，一种只是为了某人的方便随便制造、毁灭的商品。
但关于克隆人类的政治争论正在发生着变化。
在美国众议院通过了一个完全禁止克隆人类的法案后，数十位科学家要求国会允许他们在对帕金森病等疾病研究时进行克隆。
威廉·韦纳医生：我们目前根本不清楚克隆的潜力有多大。
如果我们就这样放弃，而声称不应探个究竟，是一件很愚蠢的事情。
科学家要求国会允许克隆的强烈呼吁起了作用。
参议院原来马上就要对一个禁止克隆的法案进行投票，但现在，对这个法案的辩论最早会在六月进行。

Humancloning克隆对人类有好处正方演讲稿
Human Cloning benefitsAt first ,I should declare one thing-we do not admit every types of cloning,only the ones when is necessary and safety.I would like to cut straight to the themeThe human cloning situations which are considered most frequently has three categories:1.Parents who want to clone a child,either to provide transplants for a dying child or to replace that child directly.2.Adults who want to clone themselves in order to prolong theirs lifespan by transporting one’s consciousness from one body to another .3.Mad scientists who would like to clone famous people,or notorious bad guys, whatever ,clone human beings in quantities,which may cause an unordered social state.The three topics are what I am going to talk about.In the first case, we should reach to an agreement.before anything-that there are no parents who want to clone their children deadly, are not definitely cool-headed and serious.I means.all the parents who agree to clone their children are ready.They can take the responsibilities,of course.If they want to clone a baby to replace thedying one,it’s OK.They will look after him just like a nurtural newborn one,which looks very similar to his dead brother,or her dead sister.There have no questions. And in the other hand, clone a baby, who can provide transplants for the one who is dying now,in some peoples’mind,seems like caring nothing about the human rights of the babies.But is it unusual?There are thousands of women who accept an induced abortion surgery everyday in this world.What they had done are to ignore the fact that so many women are both damaging their health and just leave the babies’rights off the door, and arrest the parents who just want see their children growing up. They are killing the possibilities for parents to regain their sweet homes. They care the minority, not the majority. How clever they are!And then, the second case, frankly speaking,was totally fiction. It is said that we got no evidence which can prove that consciousness can transport between different bodies. But with the use of transplants from a cloned human,the original human could truly prolong his life in that way.But in our opinion,that actions are not included in the proper using of cloning. We do not accept every types of cloning, like what I said just now-we are in favor of two types of cloning only-The cloning for heart broken parents and for medical use when essential.Transplants for a health man will never be accepted.And the last one,which we think,lack the basic knowledge about cloning. First, the cloning technology is difficult, very difficult to reach a certain number, even if thereare so few clones will come into the world, may not be the threat to human survival. Secondly, the acceptance of things that people have a process, the human moral concepts can be changed, and now can not accept what the future may not be acceptable.the development of technology has its own internal rules, the cell technology is unstoppable. Even if people disagree on the cloning of people do not say categorically do not need to engage in human society, human cloning.Human cloning research will address some theoretical issues in developmental biology provide an opportunity, but also may provide useful technique to humans. Do not always think about the ethics of human cloning, legal and moral, which easily tied the hands of scientists and creativity.If fully coordinate the scientific and social values, individual values and group values, temporary and long-term value of the relationship between the value, to help improve the quality of human survival and sustainable development criteria, as our values, cloning technology itself will be in play and social development in the future of its great potential. As long as it is conducive to improving the quality of human survival and sustainable development of cloning technology as a standard of value, can make them better for the cloning of human and social services.。

不幸的是，她患上了糖尿病引起的并发症。
当她丧失视力和大部分行走能力时，我惊恐万状。
七、八年前，她摔了一跤便离开人世。
在她的葬礼上，我发誓有朝一日要为她那样的疾病做点什么。
2. Years passed and I read about the work the South Koreans had done with stem cells. In 2004 and 2005 Hwang Woo-Suk fraudulently reported that he had succeeded in creating human embryonic stem cells by cloning.时间一年年过去，我读到了国人在干细胞研究方面所做的工作。
在2004年和2005年间，黄禹锡谎称他已通过克隆技术成功地培养出人类胚胎干细胞。
3. Back then it wasn't known it was a fraud, so it was very exciting to think that a long list of diseases could be treated.当时人们并不知道那是造假，所以想到一长串疾病有望得到医治，人们兴奋不已。
4. I founded the stem cell research company Stemagen with another gentleman whose father had died of ALS. We went out for drinks one night and we started talking about our parents. We wanted to do something that would be a legacy for them.我与另一位先生共同创建了斯塔摩根干细胞研究公司。
那位先生的父亲死于肌萎缩性（脊髓）侧索硬化。
一天晚上，我们外出小酌，谈论起我们的父母。
我们想做点什么，以此作为他们身后留下的遗产。
5. For Better Or Worse?是福是祸？6. The moment we decided to start Stemagen, I read all there was to read about the various cloning efforts in the past. The cloned sheep Dolly in 1997 was very interesting, but at that stage people were not focusing on the stem cell aspect of cloning; they were focusing on the reproductive possibilities of cloning.一决定创建斯塔摩根干细胞研究公司，我就阅读了有关以往各种克隆实验的所有资料。
1997年的克隆羊多利引起了人们极大的兴趣。
但在那个时候，人们关注的不是克隆技术的干细胞层面，而是其无性繁殖的可能性问题。
7. Human reproductive cloning is just simply wrong ethically from a medical standpoint and a scientific standpoint, even ignoring any religious issues associated with it. The reason is that the majority of reproductive clones in other species are actually abnormal, with very high miscarriage rates, very high stillbirth rates, fetal anomalies, death soon after birth, et cetera.从医学和科学的角度来看，克隆人在伦理道德上就是错误的，即便不去理会与其相关的问题。
其原因在于其他物种的无性繁殖个体事实上大多数都是畸形的，流产率很高，死产率很高，胎儿畸形，出生不久便夭折，等等。
8. It would just be absolutely wrong to take a human being and put them through what may well involve significant suffering for really no good end. Even though people could take the techniques that we've developed and attempt to do it (or perhaps even be successful doing it), we hope that they would not.让人经受极有可能遭到巨大痛苦的事，却又得不到什么好的结果，那是绝对错误的。
即使有人能够利用我们研发的技术，并且试图付诸实践（也许还能成功），我们还是希望他们不要那样做。
9. On the other hand, therapeutic cloning does not involve any type of risk to human life and actually provides tremendous potential for the relief of suffering in real human beings who are going through some awful things.从另一方面来说，治疗性的克隆技术不牵涉任何对人生命的威胁，还能真正为正在经受痛苦的人们提供缓解痛苦的极大的可能性。
10. I'm a pure scientist in some ways, and I know that many different studies or findings could be used for evil. Our job as scientists is to make the most of this technology and make it available to the greatest number of other scientists who can help us do good things with it. There's really no effective way for an individual scientist to stop someone else from using the knowledge for something they shouldn't.在某种程度上，我是一个纯粹的科学家，可我知道种种研究或发现可能被用来做邪恶之事。
作为科学家，我们的工作是充分利用这一技术，并且使之被尽可能多的其他科学家掌握，帮助我们做好事。
对于科学家个人而言，其实没有什么行之有效的方法可以阻止他人将知识用在他们不该用的地方。
11. We need to be honest about the techniques that we used. They need to be able to be replicated by other people, and so, we are providing a roadmap. I would hope that the legislation that's in place and the great public disapproval that would result from any attempt to clone a human would dissuade anyone from going down that path.我们必须诚实地说明我们所使用的技术。
这些技术必须能够被他人复制，这样，我们等于提供了一路线图。
我希望适当的法规以及公众对于试图克隆人的极力反对能够劝阻任何有此企图的人走那条路。
12. What is it they say? There is no technology that hasn't been used for some evil purpose at some point. Quite honestly I do think that someone will attempt human reproductive cloning. I do think it's inevitable, and it's virtually impossible to legislate that away.他们是怎么说的？他们说没有一项技术不曾在某个时候为了某种罪恶目的而被利用过。
坦诚地说，我确实认为有人会试图克隆人。
我确实认为那是不可避免的事，而且实际上也不可能通过立法加以阻止。
13. Claim to Fame出名14. I am spoken of as the first man to "clone himself." There are different types of cloning. At the cellular level, yes, it's true I am the first man to clone himself. We thought a great deal about how to deal with the issue of whose cells we should use and whether we should let the world and the scientific community know who the first cellular clone was.我被说成是第一个“克隆自己”的人。
