1. Human cloning and personality rights / Clonagem humana e direitos da personalidade
The scientific advancement of biotechnology, particularly the development of human cloning techniques, has made urgent and crucial the analysis of its ethical and legal implications. The present study aims to investigate emerging questions concerning both therapeutic and reproductive techniques of human cloning in the light of personality rights. In addition

4. To clone or not to clone--a Jewish perspective.
Many new reproductive methods such as artificial insemination, in vitro fertilisation, freezing of human embryos, and surrogate motherhood were at first widely condemned but are now seen in Western society as not just ethically and morally acceptable, but beneficial in that they allow otherwise infertile couples to have children. The idea of human cloning wa

5. Human cloning and child welfare.
In this paper we discuss an objection to human cloning which appeals to the welfare of the child. This objection varies according to the sort of harm it is expected the clone will suffer. The three formulations of it that we will consider are: 1. Clones will be harmed by the fearful or prejudicial attitudes people may have about or towards them (H1); 2. Clon

6. The stem cell debate continues: the buying and selling of eggs for research
Now that stem cell scientists are clamouring for human eggs for cloning‐based stem cell research, there is vigorous debate about the ethics of paying women for their eggs. Generally speaking, some claim that women should be paid a fair wage for their reproductive labour or tissues, while others argue against the further commodification of reproductive labo

7. Molecular cloning and characterization of the novel, human complement-associated protein, SP-40,40: a link between the complement and reproductive systems.
The cDNA sequence encoding the human complement-associated protein, SP-40,40, is reported. The two chains of SP-40,40 are coded in a single open reading frame on the same mRNA molecule, indicating the existence of a biosynthetic precursor protein which matures post-synthetically by the proteolysis of at least one peptide bond. The precursor is preceded by a

8. Monoclonal antibodies to human estrogen receptor.
Extranuclear estrogen receptor protein (estrophilin) of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells was purified by passage of the cytosol fraction of a cell homogenate through an affinity column of estradiol linked to Sepharose by a substituted di-n-propyl sulfide bridge in the 17 alpha position. Elution with 50 micro M [3H]estradiol in 10% (vol/vol) dimethyl formamide

9. Identification, classification, and partial characterization of genes in humans and other vertebrates homologous to a fish membrane progestin receptor
Recently we discovered a previously uncharacterized gene with the characteristics of a membrane progestin receptor (mPR) in a fish model, spotted seatrout. Here, we report the identification, cloning, and characteristics of other members of this hitherto unknown family of putative mPRs from several vertebrate species, including human, mouse, pig, Xenopus, ze

10. Identification of a second corticotropin-releasing factor receptor gene and characterization of a cDNA expressed in heart.
Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF; corticoliberin) regulates the secretion of corticotropin (ACTH) and beta-endorphin and has a broad range of effects on the nervous, endocrine, reproductive, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and immune systems. Recently, human, rat, and mouse CRF receptors (CRF-R) have been cloned and functionally and anatomically charact

11. Matriptase-3 is a novel phylogenetically preserved membrane-anchored serine protease with broad serpin reactivity
We report in the present study the bioinformatic identification, molecular cloning and biological characterization of matriptase-3, a novel membrane-anchored serine protease that is phylogenetically preserved in fish, birds, rodents, canines and primates. The gene encoding matriptase-3 is located on syntenic regions of human chromosome 3q13.2, mouse chromoso

12. Relevance of the Viral RAK Alpha Gene in Diagnosis of Malignant Versus Nonmalignant Tumors of the Ovary and Uterus
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-like antigens RAK (named after the inventor E. M. Rakowicz) p120, p42, and p25, as well as HIV-1-like segments of cancer DNA (RAK gene alpha), have been found before in breast and prostate cancers. The present study focused on determining the value of markers RAK in the diagnosis and prognosis of gynecological canc
