Frases de Ian Wilmut

Ian Wilmut es un embriologista británico, conocido principalmente por ser el líder importante del grupo de investigación que en 1996 clonó por primera vez a un mamífero desde una célula somática adulta, un cordero Dorset finlandés bautizada como la oveja Dolly.

En noviembre de 2017 Wilmut decidió apostar por el desarrollo de un método para obtener células madre tan versátiles como las embrionarias, sin clonar seres humanos. Declaró al diario británico Daily Telegraph que tiene previsto abandonar la técnica de clonación que empleó para duplicar los genes del animal mediante transferencia de núcleo, en favor de un sistema alternativo que están desarrollando en la actualidad científicos japoneses y que puede ser más aceptable.[1]​ Wikipedia

Frases célebres de Ian Wilmut

“Creo que la razón inicial por la que me interesé en la agricultura es que quería estar al aire libre. Siempre he disfrutado estar al aire libre. Y así, miré a mi alrededor y cuando estaba en la escuela secundaria, probablemente 14 años o así, mis padres, a través de amigos, arreglaron que pudiese ir a trabajar en las granjas en el fin de semana.”

Ian Wilmut

Idioma original: « I think the initial reason why I became interested in farming is that I wanted to be outdoors. I've always enjoyed being outdoors. And so, I looked around and when I was at high school, probably 14 or so, my parents through friends arranged for me to be able to go work on farms on the weekend.»
Entrevista en la Academy of Acheivement (23 May 1998) http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/printmember/wil0int-1.

“Les recuerdo que en estos experimentos, hasta ahora, alrededor de un cuarto de los corderos que nacieron vivos murieron en pocos días porque no habían completado el desarrollo normal. Ahora, lo que se sugiere aquí es que se producirían copias de los niños, y algunos de ellos morirían poco después del nacimiento. Así que creo que para un médico clínico sugerir hacer eso es algo absolutamente espantoso y triste para él como para ser sugerido.”

Ian Wilmut

Idioma original: «I'd remind you that in these experiments so far, about one quarter of the lambs that were born alive died within a few days because they hadn't completed normal development. Now, what may be being suggested here is that copies of children would be being produced, and some of those would die soon after birth. So I think that for a clinician to be suggesting doing that is a quite appalling and sad thing for him to be suggesting.»
Sobre las propuestas para la clonación humana en una Entrevista en "The NewsHour", PBS (8 de enero de 1998) http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/science/jan-june98/cloning_1-8.html.

“Es muy probable que sea posible, sí. Pero lo que hemos dicho todo el tiempo - hablando tanto para el Instituto (Roslin) como para el personal de PPL - es que consideramos éticamente inaceptable pensar en hacerlo. No podemos pensar en una razón para hacerlo. Si hubiera una razón para copiar a un ser humano, lo haríamos, pero no la hay.”

Ian Wilmut

Idioma original: «It is quite likely that it is possible, yes. But what we've said all along -- speaking for both the (Roslin) Institute and the PPL staff - is that we would find it ethically unacceptable to think of doing that. We can't think of a reason to do it. If there was a reason to copy a human being, we would do it, but there isn't.»

“Is this sort of thing which has been thought about beneficial? So that if you're asking the question, for example, "Is it appropriate to think of making a copy of a person?" You have to ask not only, "What is the benefit to the people who are asking for this to be done?" But also, "What's the impact on the child that's going to be produced?"”
