13、價值的?？寺≈参锖唵?，但克隆動物就非常復雜了，是一項很難完成的任務。克隆哺乳動物的多次嘗試都失敗了。但是，科學家的決心和耐心最終得到了回報，這就是1996年具有突破性的克隆羊“多莉”的誕生。它的程序如下圖(略)所示：1母羊(甲)提供一個卵細胞。2在卵細胞中取出細胞核。3卵細胞準備接受新的細胞核。4母羊(乙)提供一個供克隆的軀干細胞，該細胞應包含有生產(chǎn)一頭新羊所需要的全部基因。5取出該細胞的細胞核。6用電把母羊(乙)的軀干細胞核和母羊(甲)的卵細胞連接起來。7細胞分裂并生長成胚胎。8把胚胎置入另外一頭母羊(丙)體內(nèi)，母羊(丙)就是克隆羊的代孕。9這頭小羔羊就是母羊(乙)所提供的細胞核克隆而成的。
14、一方面整個科學界都在關注著首例成功的克隆動物多莉羊的成長。多莉看來是在正常地成長著，這很令人鼓舞。接著傳來了多莉病重的壞消息。研究克隆的科學家發(fā)現(xiàn)多莉得的病更容易發(fā)生在年老的羊身上，這讓他們很沮喪。多莉總共只存活了六年半，這是它的原型羊壽命的一半。可悲的是，同樣無法控制的命運也在影響著其他物種，如克隆鼠。科學家們的腦海里產(chǎn)生的問題是“這是不是所有克隆動物的一個主要困難呢？這種現(xiàn)象會不會永遠發(fā)生？如果改進研究程序，問題會不會解決呢？”另一方面，多莉羊的出現(xiàn)引起了一陣強烈的反對，對媒體和公眾的想象力也產(chǎn)生了極大的影響。它引起的爭議，因為它突然打開了人們的眼界，看到了有可能利用克隆技術來治療重病，甚
15、至克隆出人類還有可能性。盡管目前供克隆研究的人類卵細胞和胚胎很難獲得，報紙報道說，有些邪惡頭目希望把自己克隆出來以實現(xiàn)他們的野心。宗教領袖也提出了道德方面的問題。各國政府惶恐不安而且更加謹慎。有些政府開始改革司法制度，明令禁止進行克隆人類的研究，但是其他國家，如中國和英國，則仍然在繼續(xù)收集克隆技術有可能提供豐富的醫(yī)療救助的證據(jù)。然而科學家們?nèi)詫寺〖夹g有助于人類還是有害于人類，以及克隆技術將把我們引向哪里感到困惑。二、將下列詞語譯成英語，然后參考Unit 2的詞匯表自主勘誤。1反對， 不贊成v. _ 2. 獲得， 贏得v. _3. 欠， 歸功于v. _ 4. 打， 撞擊， 罷工v. & n.
