genetic material, this technology holds great promise for providing further therapeutic interventions that can give nurses, and other medical professionals, another tool in their arsenal against disease. Progress that
has been made in regards to mortality and morbidity caused by communicable disease and malnutrition have drastically changed the disease spectrum (Berg, et al, 1996). Consequently, non-communicable diseases, including genetic
disorders, have risen in importance from a public health standpoint. The incredible advances that have been made in genetic research in recent years suggests the possibility that successful interventions can
be devised for such diverse inherited diseases as diabetes and cystic fibrosis (Berg, et al, 1996). In the furor that was quickly generated over the successfully cloning of a
sheep, "Dolly," the usefulness of cloning technology to current medical practice was pushed aside. Nevertheless, the applications are considerable. A great deal of technical information has been left out
in the sensationalism that abounded in the media. For one thing, the media did not make it clear that "Dolly" was not an identical clone (Wilson, 1997). Part of
everyones genetic material comes from the mitochondria in the cytoplasm of the egg. In the case of Dolly, only the nuclear DNA was transferred (Wilson, 1997). This may have significant
information to import to scientists concerning the aging process since aging is related to acquired mutations in mitochondrial DNA (Wilson, 1997, p. 913). Research conducted on nuclear transfer into
human eggs has the possibility of providing an immense amount of information that may have clinical value, by providing a model for learning more about somatic cell differentiation (Wilson,
1997, p. 913). Eventually, in due course, scientists may learn how to influence cell differentiation and this could give rise to targeted cell types (Wilson, 1997). The ability to
