Persuasive Essay Against Cloning

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

Technology is making it easier and more accessible to clone animals, especially typical pets living in normal households. The process of cloning is explained in the article “Should You Clone Your Pet” in the section “Science Fiction.” Scientists are now using genetics to make embryos, which are a cluster of cells. The embryo is then implanted in the female dog’s womb. Hopefully it would grow just as it would in a normal pregnancy. Eventually, the dog would give birth to the cloned animal. But is it really easier as it seems to clone a deceased pet instead of just getting a new one?

Cloning is inhumane and unethical because it creates animals and embryos that will be used for painful research experiments. Additionally, a painful surgery is required to remove the eggs from the breeding stock and implant the embryos back into them. Also, a good deal of the animals that survive past infancy have abnormalities and health problems that include respiratory distress, brain lesions, metabolic problems, skeletal malfunctions, and

Pet cloning is our future and our present. Though it doesn't make it right. Cloning for instance, cost thousands. Not only expensive, it puts the carrier animal severe pain. It also gives the clone a higher risk of getting diseases. Just ask Dolly the sheep, if she didn’t die at a young age. Cloning may seem like a good thing but over all it is not for many reasons.

Secondly, cloning kills another animal. Cloning takes chromosomes from an egg and destroys them. That cell was going to be a new animal. Take Dolly it took 277 tries, that is 277 baby sheep killed to make another already existing sheep. If we were to clone humans any scientist who clones is technically a murderer. Other examples is the dog Snuppy they used 97 eggs to get 3 puppies. That means 97 individual puppies dead to make a clone’s clones. This is another, more grim, reason why cloning is not a good thing.

     As soon as you mention the word cloning, you are most likely to ignite a debate. This is because people are greatly divided on whether it's good or bad. A way to reach a conclusion is to look at cloning from ethical, risk, and religious perspectives. The reality is, cloning is unethical, very risky, and irreligious. The arguments I will make will hopefully convince you that cloning is not good for the future.

There are some people that have been very anxious with cloning because they believe it is something new, but in reality it was introduced in the 1950s. It started with cloning food and has moved onto cloning animals. It has been successful on many different cases and a famous one is the cloning of a sheep named Dolly. Dolly lived to be six and a half years old and she had six kids. People believe that cloning should be illegal but we believe that scientists should clone endangered or extinct species in order to preserve them, here’s why.

In conclusion I believe that cloning is a bad thing to do to any living organism on this earth . I believe that cloning is considered animal abuse but it still happens . I believe it is domestic violence , but it still happens , and quite a few animals have died because of it . I knew about cloning but i have never researched it . But learning and researching about cloning helped me better understand that it is a bad thing to do to any living organism .

There are many arguments against cloning. Leon R. Kass bases his argument on repugnance in his article The Wisdom of Repugnance. He is a well-known physician, educator and scientist. Kass perceives cloning as offensive, grotesque revolting, repulsive and wrong. To establish his argument he states, “Most people recoil from the prospect of mass production or human being, with large clones of look-alikes, compromised in their individuality.”1 His rationale is cloning is unnatural, because it is asexual and requires only one parent. Kass believes that cloning turns natural procreation into a manufactured process, which is not natural or moral. In his essay he also points out that cloning will also change the way we see ourselves through our

Today’s technology develops so quickly that many impossible things become true; the example is cloning technology. Cloning is a process used to create an exact copy of a mammal by using the complete genetic material of a regular body cell. Different from the common propagate, cloning needs only one cell and without sex. Cloning, as of recent years, has become a very controversial issue in society but cloning can have several positive effects for the well being of society. Many people in society believe that scientists should develop a clone human but many people and especially the government are against human cloning. Hundreds of

Over the last few decades Science Fiction has become an incredibly popular genre, but could you imagine something thought to be science fiction is actually science fact? Movies like Multiplication, Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones, and, Splice all have one thing in common, Cloning! This controversial topic was once thought to be imaginary, but has recently been pefected and many mixed opinions are developing because of it. Scholastic Scope magazine even came out with an article called “Should You Clone Your Pet?”. The way it works is, you take the embryo, a cluster of cells, from one organism then implant that embryo in a female of the same species womb. Finally you end up with a clone of the organism that you took the embryo of.

Should people not be allowed to clone animals? Some people see cloning animals as bad, but some people see cloning as a good thing. Cloning should not be illegal because it has great future effects in daily life, saving endangered species, and scientist can use them as test subjects.

Animal cloning is a problem that many of us unknowingly approve of every day. Hundreds of innocent animals are dying and suffering due to animal cloning experiments.

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

Scientific experimentation has led us to many great discoveries such as: Chemotherapy, heart surgery, and bone marrow transplants. Recently scientists have discovered a new way to heal humans. This is known as cloning. Although they have yet to clone a human they have cloned sheep. Cloning has brought up a huge controversy among the American people. There are two sides to the story. Either you agree with cloning or you don’t. The only way to help make that decision is to look at the good and bad points of cloning.
