For instance, the before mentioned Scholastic Scope magazine said, “Companies that offer pet-cloning services say cloning is a way to honor a beloved animal and ease the grief of losing a pet.” Considering that the clone will be physically identical to the original pet, this could be considered true. Animals are like family members in most households, so the thought that such a cherished creature could be gone forever can be a lot of children to handle. Making cloning a great solution for heart broken children. Another interesting quote from Scholastic Scope magazine is, “Researchers use clones of mice, pigs, and other animals to study human diseases and search for cures.” The reason they need clones and can’t just use different organisms of the same species is, animals react differently to diseases so to test cures you need animals that will all react the same to the diseases they are helping to cure. This is a very important use of cloning and it is theorized that if we continue using cloning we will eventually have cures for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and even heart disease. This is a critical point for the cloning side because if scientist were finally able to rid the world of such diseases it could help many, all over the world suffering from
First, cloning is a bad thing because most things that undergo cloning have many medical disorders and die an early death. On https://listontap.com/10-reasons-human -cloning-bad-society-large/ they gave marvelous examples why. It took exactly 277 eggs to make a clone of Dolly. That shows how little attempt at cloning fail. Another thing is Many cloned animals have under formed hearts lungs and other organs. That just goes to show how cloning animals is not very practical for the animals only live around half the lifespan of their breed of animal. Take Dolly's clone her clone died at, 6 years old, half of what sheep of her breed live. Over all cloning is mostly unsuccessful.
Cloning animals or humans would be very risky. Cloning is very unpredictable. Therefore no one can estimate exactly how risky cloning can be. We have already used a lot of animals in crazy experiments and none of them succeeded. Yes, even Dolly. Many of you think Dolly, the first animal to be cloned wasn?t really successful. Dolly became sick and was put to rest. Another point which often people overlook or try to hide is that in the making of Dolly, about 277
The Cloning of Dogs Introduction: The new "Star Wars" movie features an entire army made of clones. These clones are genetically perfected to be the ultimately obedient and powerful soldiers. How could this type of cloning technology be used in dogs? We could use it for the good to make the perfectly
We should clone endangered and extinct animals because they can help cure diseases that we don’t know how to do today or that we don't have the ability to do today. It is a good idea to clone animals because
Many people think that the idea of human cloning is merely a thing of science fiction but that could not be farther from the truth. Many places around the world there are that the scientific research of some sort of cloning. whether on animals or on human embryos for therapeutic reasons. everyday we get closer to being able to clone human beings. An online article from the United Kingdom talks about how China is ahead of the game because they have cloned a “super” dog, “The dogs, which are test tube bred in a lab, have twice the muscle mass of their natural counterparts and are considerably stronger and faster.”(Flood, 2017) and how “The beagle puppy, one of 27, was genetically engineered by ‘deleting’ a
Scientist haven’t successfully cloned a human. What sense does it make, to waste money and time on something that isn’t going to be cloned. Yes, most animals are successfully cloned but why clone if you aren’t getting what you want out of it. In the article “Here Kitty-Kitty-Kitty” Magnus says “The people who want this are spending huge sums of money to get their pet immortalized or to guarantee they’re getting
One thing about cloning is it won’t be like the original animal. Yes it may look identical, but the behavior won’t be. As the article, “Should you clone your pet?” stated (paragraph 9), “ In other words each clone has a unique personality… Just ask Sandra and Ralph Fisher. They had a bull named Chance, an unusually gentle animal who posed for photos with kids. When Chance died,
Although the clone has the DNA of the donor, the clone will have epigenetic effects. Epigenetic disturbances refer to the altered physical structures of the DNA, but not the DNA sequence itself (Epigenetics). Cloning technology has produced clones of several mammals, including sheep, mice, goats, and horses (AMA). Cloning humans is technically more difficult than cloning other mammals (Cloning Fact Sheet). The process is still extremely inefficient and rarely produces viable cells. Those usable cells are unlikely to survive until birth (AMA). So far, animal cloning research has caused death and deformities of the clone (Kilner). Dolly, a cloned sheep, aged rapidly and had to be euthanized at six years old (Glannon, p91). We can assume that human cloning will also have a dismal failure rate (AMA). It would be considered unethical to attempt to produce human clones due to the potential physical harm to the cloned child
Cloning doesn’t always work either. Even if the chances are decreased, the chance of your cloned pet to die sooner are there, as well as the chance for birth defects. Then, would you be willing to go through the pain of another death, or even willing to pay for what it takes for the birth defects? I wouldn’t take the chance. Anyways, I wouldn’t use my money, even if I had plenty of it, to do such a thing. Instead of bringing another animal into this world, I would adopt. It’s helping another animal, and eventually you’d form bonds just as strong with that animal as you had with your deceased pet. On a different note, I wouldn’t want a pet like my old one; if I could I would take my old pet back from the grave, but despite how it may seem, cloning only makes an animal similar your old one. They would look the same, but may act completely different. There was once a bull named Chance; he was extremely docile animal. When Chance died, his owners got him cloned. The clone, dubbed Second Chance, was nothing similar in personality to Chance. Upon two different occasions Second Chance actually attacked his owners, almost killing the man.
Animal cloning is a not very familiar topic. Many people do not know very much if any information about cloning. There are different types of cloning. Cloning can happen in humans and animals. Most cloning occurs in animals because people do not think it is right to clone humans. In today’s society, animal cloning has negative effects on animals and should not happen, because in this day in age science can find other means to test drugs
Cloning is a controversial topic because new areas of science often raise questions about safety. Early experiment performed on animals showed potential dangers. For example, cloned cows developed faulty immune systems. In some studies, cloned animals seemed to grow old faster and die younger than normal members of the species. According to Encarta online
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a second you? The process of cloning is something that is not necessarily very new but is something that is constantly being researched and improved. Most commonly in cloning the somatic cell nuclear transfer method is used.This is
There are also many negative aspects of cloning. To create different organs or limbs in order to help a person to live longer or more comfortably seems to go against nature. The way human life should be created is through sexual intercourse. Harmond Varmus, a schoolteacher, said it best; “Human cloning represents a grave attack on the dignity of conception and on the right an unrepeatable, unpredetermined set of genes.” To clone an animal is almost the same thing. We are playing with the way humans and animals have reproduced for years. Is it fair that we clone and then kill an animal just for its organs in order to save a person’s life? Scientists are not even sure that the animal’s organs will be compatible with the human body. According to the Medical Research
Most of the time the pet that was cloned won’t be the same and have the same temperament. For example there was a bull called Chance and was uncommonly friendly. When Chance died, the owners cloned it and Second Chance was born. But Second Chance didn’t have the same temperament and attack and almost killed one of it’s owners. Although Second Chance looked like the original it wasn’t the same.
