8. Translate an abstract.
Проблема клонирования связана с потенциальными рисками для здоровья будущего клона, в частности, возможность его преждевременного
старения. Известный ученый Алексей Оловников еще в 1971 году обратил внимание на проблему укорачивания хромосом в клетках в результате де-
лений. Ученый предположил, что укорачивание хромосом не может идти вечно – в какой-то момент клетка состарится и потеряет способность
делиться. Но почему наши хромосомы не короче хромосом наших предков? Оказалось, что на концах хромосом есть специальные участки – теломеры. При удвоении хромосом эти участки действительно укорачиваются, однако специальный фермент – теломераза, активный в некоторых клетках (например, в стволовых), может достраивать теломеры до исходного размера. Получается, что при наличии фермента теломеразы клетки способны
делиться без особых ограничений, не «стареть». Отсутствие теломеразы в большинстве клеток является одним из защитных механизмов от неконтролируемого деления, то есть рака.
9. Do we have a right to clone dead people? What if they didn’t want to be cloned? Make a report/essay on this topic.
10. Study the example of the official letter. Make a conclusion about the rules of letter writing.

Dear Mr. Anderson,
The purpose of this letter is to follow up on the discussion we had in your office last week. This letter details the steps we discussed to make your project a
