There are many issues for discussion from this video, including (1) the meaning of cloning stem cells that have the exact genetic makeup as the patient, (2) the scientific scandal about Korean's scientists that published fake data claiming they successfully cloned stem cells, (3) the application of cloned stem cells, (4) the differences between cloning cells and cloning organisms, (5) the misconceptions of cloning, and (6) the debate of using human embryonic cells in medical research. This video showed biotechnologies such as microinjection, cell culture, and florescent microscopy. In addition to the video, the website has more resources. The link "should we allow cloning for stem cell research" gives students opportunity to take their stand and observe both sides of the arguments. The link "the cloning process" shows step-by-step how scientists create embryonic stem cells. The links "an alternative to cloning" and "the politics of stem cells" provide more information for students to read. Even the website was released in 2005, the link "related science news" has news that has been updating till now (2007).
