Dr. Samuel Wood interviewed him

I'm very close to mine

Mother for life. She is an outstanding educator, writer and great woman.

Unfortunately, she suffered from complications related to diabetes. When she lost her

Her eyesight and most of her walking ability are absolutely horrible to me.

She died of a fall seven or eight years ago. At her funeral, I swear.

One day I will do something for a situation like her.

Human cloning: the story of a scientist

Interview with Dr. Samuel Wood

I have been close to my mother all my life. She is an outstanding educator, writer and an amazing lady. Unfortunately, she suffers from complications caused by diabetes. I was frightened when she lost her sight and most of her walking ability. Seven or eight years ago, she fell to her death. At her funeral, I vowed to do something for her illness one day.

Several years passed, and I read about the work done by Koreans.

With stem cells. In 2004 and 2005, Huang Yuxi lied about him.

Human embryonic stem cells were successfully created by cloning.

As the years passed, I read about the work done by Koreans in stem cell research. From 2004 to 2005, Huang Yuxi lied that he had successfully cultivated human embryonic stem cells through cloning technology.

I didn't know it was a scam at that time, so it was very exciting.

A long list of diseases can be treated.

At that time, people didn't know it was fake, so people were excited to think that a long list of diseases could be cured.

4. I founded the stem cell research company Stemagen with another person.

A gentleman whose father died of frostbite. One night we went out for a drink, and we

Start talking about our parents. We want to make some

The legacy left to them.

My other husband and I co-founded Stammorgan stem cell research company. This gentleman's father died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. One night, we went out for a drink and talked about our parents. We want to do something as their legacy.

5. Is it good or bad?

Is it a blessing or a curse?

6. When we decided to start Stemagen, I read all the contents.

Read all kinds of cloning efforts in the past. Dolly the cloned sheep was born in 1920.

1997 is very interesting, but at that stage, people didn't pay attention to it.

Cloned stem cells; They focus on reproduction.

The possibility of cloning.

As soon as I decided to set up Stammorgan stem cell research company, I read all kinds of cloning experiments in the past. Dolly the cloned sheep from 1997 has aroused great interest. But what people were concerned about at that time was not the cloning technology at the stem cell level, but the possibility of asexual reproduction.

7. Human reproductive cloning is completely wrong in ethics.

Medical position and scientific position, even ignoring any religion

Problems related to it. The reason is that most reproduction

Cloning of other species is actually abnormal, and the abortion rate is very high.

Mortality rate, extremely high stillbirth rate, fetal malformation, death shortly after birth, etc.

Wait a minute.

From the medical and scientific point of view, human cloning is morally wrong, even if the religious issues related to it are ignored. The reason is that most asexual individuals of other species are deformed, with high abortion rate, high stillbirth rate, premature death of fetal malformation, and so on.

8. Put a person in

They are likely to suffer great pain, but there is no benefit.

End. Even if people can use the technology we developed.

Try to do it (or even succeed in doing it), and we hope they will.

No.

It is absolutely wrong to let people experience something that is likely to suffer great pain but can't get any good results. Even if someone can take advantage of the technology we have developed and try to put it into practice (which may be successful), we hope they will not do so.

9. On the other hand,

Therapeutic cloning does not involve any risk to human life.

In fact, it provides great potential for alleviating people's suffering.

Someone who is going through something terrible.

On the other hand, therapeutic cloning technology does not involve any threat to human life, and it can indeed provide great possibilities for people who are suffering.

10. In some ways, I am a pure scientist and I know a lot.

Different studies or discoveries may be used for evil. As scientists, our job is to

Make the best use of this technology so that the best people can use it.

Many other scientists can help us to do good with it. It has a

A scientist really has no effective way to stop others.

Use knowledge where it should not be used.

To some extent, I am a pure scientist, but I know that all kinds of research or discoveries may be used to do evil. As scientists, our job is to make full use of this technology, so that as many other scientists as possible can master it and help us do good things. As far as scientists are concerned, there is actually no effective way to prevent others from using their knowledge where they should not.

1 1. We need to be honest with the technology we use. they

Need to be able to be copied by others, so we provide one.

Road map. I hope that the existing legislation and the general public

Any attempt to clone human beings will be opposed, which will stop it.

No one can go this way.

We must be honest with the technology we use. These technologies must be able to be copied by others, so we provide a road map. I hope that appropriate laws and regulations and strong public opposition to trying to clone human beings can stop anyone who wants to go that way.

12. What did they say? There is no technology that has not been

Used for some evil purpose at some time. To be honest, I really think

Someone will try human reproductive cloning. I think this is inevitable,

It is almost impossible to eliminate this situation through legislation.

What did they say? They say that there is not a technology that has not been used for some evil purpose at some time. Frankly speaking, I really think someone will try to clone people. I really think this is inevitable, and it is actually impossible to stop it by legislation.

13. Reasons for fame

famous

14. I was said to be the first person to "clone myself"

There are different types of clones. At the cellular level, yes, I

I was the first person to clone myself. We thought a lot about how to deal with it.

Whose cells should we use, and whether we should let the world

The scientific community knows who the first cell clone was.

It is said that I was the first person to "clone myself". There are different types of clones. At the cellular level, yes, I was indeed the first person to clone myself. Whose cells should we use, and should we let the world and the scientific community know who is the first cell clone? We have thought a lot about how to deal with the above problems.

15. finally, we decided

We want to add a human side to cloning.

Finally, we decided to humanize human cloning.

16. I didn't expect it to cause a heated debate.

But I am still glad that we have embarked on this road. We received it.

E-mails and phone calls from thousands of people in need.

I didn't expect this to cause such a stir, but I'm still happy with the road we've taken. We received thousands of emails and phone calls from people in need.

17. I think we did it by standing up and facing it.

It's very true. Now people all over the world know that cloning is here. I believe

Soon it will be used for treatment, so I think our goal is.

Deliver.

I think by actively humanizing cloning, we make cloning technology very real. Now people all over the world know that cloning has arrived. I believe that cloning technology will soon be used to treat diseases, so I think our goal has been achieved.

18. Pure science

pure science

19. The thing is that a woman with informed consent donated an egg.

We removed her genetic material from the egg. Then we put a single skin.

Cells in the egg.

Here's the thing: a lady was told the truth and agreed to donate an egg. We take genetic material from the egg and then put a single skin cell into the egg.

20. We are really interested in creating disease-specific

Human specific stem cell line. The process of extracting cells from a person.

It won't take more than a minute or two. You can take some skin cells from your arm,

For example, in a minute or two, you can get the cells you need.

Perform this process.

What we are really interested in is the establishment of stem cell series for specific diseases and specific individuals. The process of removing cells from someone only takes a minute or two. For example, you can extract skin cells from your arm, and after a minute or two, you can get the cells needed for this process.

2 1. This process enables us to study the specific reasons.

Diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Parkinson's disease, and then

Study various treatments for these diseases. If the stem cell line

Created for any given individual and then migrated back to.

Individuals, they will not be rejected by individuals.

This process helps us to explore the causes of specific diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (spinal cord) or Parkinson's disease, and start to study various treatments for these diseases. If stem cell series are cultured for a specific individual and then transplanted back to that individual, they will not be rejected.

22. Sweet success

Sweet success

23. I always think that when our research is successful, I will

When others didn't do it, we did it, and you should be happy. In fact,

It's transcendental-when you look through a microscope, you can see what you might see.

A long time ago, at least in part.

I always think that when our research is successful, I will be glad that we have achieved results that others have not yet achieved. In fact, this research result is really wonderful-through the microscope, you can at least partially see what you were like a long time ago.

24. When I looked down at the cloned blastocyst, it brought

Tears filled my eyes. I did it for me.

Mom, I realized that if she could live a few more years,

Maybe we can use this technology to help her. It's touching to see these.

This kind of potential, she never had a chance to experience.

Tears welled up in my eyes when I looked down and saw the cloned blastocyst. I did this research for my mother. I think, as long as mom can live a few more years, maybe we can use this technology to save her. Seeing this possibility, a possibility that my mother didn't have a chance to enjoy it in person, can't help but make people feel deeply moved.

We decided to clear up a big misunderstanding.

For some reason, these embryos. Yes.

There are so many doubts about this process because

In the past, there was no doubt that it was crucial that they were clones.

For some reason, we decided to destroy these cloned embryos, which was a great misunderstanding. Because of the past scientific fraud, people have a lot of doubts about our research process, so it is very important to ensure that it is cloned embryos.

26. During the analysis, the embryo was destroyed.

Necessity. In other words, the genetic material in the cell

Analyze it. You have to destroy the cells. We hope to be able to

To avoid destroying them.

In the process of analysis, we must destroy those embryos. In other words, to extract genetic material from cells for analysis, you must destroy the cells. How we wish we could avoid destroying them.

27. Now we are making every effort to create stem cell lines.

People watched with interest.

At present, we are cultivating stem cell series around the clock, and people are also paying attention to the progress of this work with great interest.

28. Pope and President

The Pope and the President

There are many people who are against our work.

Our work met with opposition from all sides.

We were condemned by the audience and received negative comments.

Highlights of President Bush's State of the Union address. In a sense, this is an honor.

Because it shows that we are doing something meaningful. Not every day.

You were condemned by the President of the United States and President Bush in the same week.

The Vatican condemned us, and President Bush's State of the Union address was also very dissatisfied with us. In a sense, this is an honor, because it shows that we are doing something of great significance. It is not every day that the Holy See and President Bush condemn you within a week.

3 1. There is usually no dialogue between researchers.

Embryonic stem cell field and opponents.

There is often no dialogue between researchers in the field of embryonic stem cells and people with different opinions.

It doesn't make sense to me, it's such an emotional and.

Controversial topic. Logically, this is not life. I agree that this is a potential life,

But most embryos never become life. Most produce,

Don't die of implantation. The fetus is a life. This argument makes sense to me, but

For me, observing the embryo in the laboratory and giving it all.

The right of human life.

In my opinion, this topic is so wonderful and controversial that it is really unnecessary. Logically speaking, embryos are not life. I admit that embryos may become life, but most embryos will never become life. After most embryos are produced, they are not used for transplantation and then die. The fetus has life. In my opinion, that view is reasonable. However, in my opinion, it is biased to look at the embryo in the laboratory and give it the right to all life.
