Modern Medical Science

A

Cloning is "making a copy of a plant or animal by taking a cell from it and developing it artificially". There is nothing
new about this. The first cloned frog appeared in 1968. But interest in cloning grew in 1997 when Dr. Ian Wilmut
announced the birth of the world´s first cloned sheep Dolly. Many people were worried: what if some techniques were
used for some rich, elderly person to reinvent himself; or if an evil dictator produced hundreds of copies of himself in
order to take over the world?

The possible benefits of cloning, however, are numerous, for artificially producing human tissues and organs for
transplant, and for preserving endangered animal species. Biologists have already genetically engineered headless frogs
so it may in the future be possible to clone headless humans whose organs could be used for transplants. But would we
want to?

In one famous case, a girl born with a rare bone condition that left her with only one ear, had a new one grown for her.

And the medical achievements continue! If you are a grey-haired, colour-blind man, there may be good news on the
horizon. A doctor in England has announced that by adding a small amount of pigment to an ordinary pair of glasses he
has been able to cure colour-blindness. To prevent grey hair, a special shampoo has been developed that fools pigment
cells into producing melamin, which gives hair its colour.

Could it be possible for all the things you need to know to be implanted in your brain on a silicon chip? Doctors at the
Max Planck Institute claim to have found a way of connecting nerve cells to a silicon chip. Such implants could be used
to restore vision to people who have become blind, but also to increase human intelligence.

Task A: Match the heading to the paragraph. There are two extra headings. One has already been done.

1- An implant into a human brain. D

2- Many doubts

3- Cloning plants!

4- Amazing announcements.

5- Some great help for humans.

6- An ethical point of view.

Task B: Find the words in the text which mean:

1- Control (verb)
2- Tricks, cheats (verb)
