Speech On Animal Cloning

With the development of science, cloning has become possible. Some cloning has been used to help benefit the human race; in some ways the environment and other species. However, other cloning uses could cause many problems such as a disadvantage in intelligence, strength, and who would be acceptable to obtain what jobs.

There have been recent studies on animals where the scientist cloned the animals. Cloning is something many people are split on. Some say it is bad some say it is good. I think cloning is a bad thing. Cloning can be a bad thing in many ways. I will be covering some of those ways in this paper.

Animal cloning is happening in today's society, people are split on either side that it is a big step into human race future, or if it is a part of science that humans shouldn’t be a part of. Cloning is done by removing a cell, then transfer the DNA into the egg of a donor, the animal would then grow up to look like the original. Cloning by humans is not the only way to clone, asexual reproduction is considered cloning used by bacteria. Humans consider the fact that you have a twin means that you have clone. So there are the facts to take in that cloning has been happening for a long time and that it is also done naturally. The big issue on animal cloning is more on the fact that many birth defects can happen to the cloned animal because it is such a high percentage. Clones that have defects such as two heads or extra body parts do have a small chance to live to the adult age. On the other side humans see cloning as a way of survival, with testing done on animals we could look back into the past and bring extinct animals from it. Many home pets have been cloned properly to look like an exact replica of the original, but the personality is the key difference between both. With experiments we now know cloning can be beneficial in some ways, but there is always a draw back. Another con to cloning is that it reduces the diversity in genetics, since cloning is using exact genes it has the potential to limit diversity in the species, there may be a time where organisms will no longer breed naturally. But the con that most people think of is that one day, humans would be able to clone themselves. This scenario is more of a moral dilemma because it is not natural and goes against many people and what they believe in, the fear comes from the movies and books because no human has ever been cloned, and then the wars will start because the fear of death would no longer be there. This is all just one side of the issue, the pro side looks for advancements to benefit humans. Cloning can help produce the best animal population with healthy genes. This could mean that humans can keep endangered animals from becoming extinct, this also means that with the raw material

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.

Animal cloning started without the world even knowing. First, an animal clone is “an exact physical copy of one ‘parent’” (Newman 12). “Animal cloning experiments began in the 1960’s. Frogs were the first subjects. By 1987 scientists had begun cloning cows and other mammals” (Newman 12). Dolly the sheep was the first big cloning success, credited to Ian Wilmut in 1996 (Praded 21). This sheep was a scientific breakthrough, but it also caused many people to question the intents of scientists. Many people wondered if scientists would clone humans next. The original intent of animal cloning was not for the food industry. The reason animal cloning started was to find a way to help cure currently untreatable diseases (“Why Do Scientists Clone?”). By cloning cells, scientists will be able to manipulate the cells to become something new.

The progression of cloning technology could prove to be of great use to humans in the future. Further experiments on cloning will add to the understanding of genetics and lead to the production of animals organs that can be accepted by humans. Theoretically cloning could eliminate all problems regard organ transplants by producing animals that can act as suitable organ donors. More extensive cloning processes could also provide a solution for the world’s food inequity problems. Stronger, more resistant plants could be cultivated in large amounts through means provided by cloning techniques. The same idea could be applied to livestock, where common diseases can be eradicated to create stronger breeds.

According to Gary Wickman, Human cloning can give rise to certain medical issues. Technically, human gene grows older with age. It’s feared that the cloned individual would retain the age of the donor’s genes. Imagine what will happen if a 40 year old gene is manifested into a newborn baby (Wickman, 2017). The health risks involved with human cloning is something that cannot be sidelined on all accounts. There is a possibility that the cloned individual might carry certain abnormalities, and may die sooner than the standard life expectancy.

The most talk about topic today is cloning and if it really matters to us or if we shouldn't do it because there is no meaning to it. Well there is two different types of cloning there is therapeutic that one is when you create a clone outside of a embryo. The other which is reproductive cloning that type of cloning is the one I'm really against for because a lot comes with it. For example in the Article “ Here Kitty-Kitty-Kitty-Kitty” by Carolyn Said in San Francisco Chronicle, April 15, 2004 it quotes that “ It took 87 tries to produce CC, for example, Kraemer said”. It took 87 tries thats a lot of tries and either the test tube did not carry the egg correctly or the implantation wasn't as strong. My point is that cloning is a big

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

Genetic cloning is one of the most controversial topics of all time. People, specifically scientists, are constantly searching for ways to improve the quality of human life. As a result, they began genetically engineering animals and are currently in search of a method to genetically engineer humans as well; which is called human cloning. There are many reasons why people should not go forward with this step since genetic cloning, consequently human cloning, does not respect nature nor does it ensure diversity and survival in natural ecosystems. In addition, genetic cloning is a cruel, harsh, and an unsafe experiment.

The first problem that human cloning encounter is it is one of unethical processes because it involves the alteration of the human genetic and human may be harmed, either during experimentation or by expectations after birth. “Cloning, like all science, must be used responsibly. Cloning human is not desirable. But cloning sheep has its uses.”, as quoted by Mary Seller, a member of the Church of England’s Board of Social Responsibility (Amy Logston, 1999). Meaning behind this word are showing us that cloning have both advantages and disadvantages. The concept of cloning is hurting many human sentiments and human believes. “Given the high rates of morbidity and mortality in the cloning of other mammals, we believe that cloning-to-produce-children would be extremely unsafe, and that attempts to produce a cloned child would be highly unethical”, as quoted by the President’s Council on Bioethics. Since human cloning deals with human life, it said to be unethical if people are willing to killed embryo or infant to produce a cloned human and advancing on it. The probability of this process is successful is also small because the technology that being used in this process is still new and risky.

When looked up on Google i hear well spoken thoughts on you. After reading your background and what made you into who you are today made me realize that you are a well spoken person. This letter is in regards of passing a bill on cloning. Cloning is when person is basically replicated. This is not always the case because the experiment can also be done to animals. Pet owners choose to pay extra money to buy a pet that will be categorized as in the “superior breed”. I understand that you are a businesswoman and make decisions that will not only have an effect on you but the U.S. I hope that you take this into consideration and let my words help make a positive impact to the communities throughout the U.S.

Many cloned animals have deformities such as an abnormally large size, which endangers the lives of the surrogate mothers carrying them. The causes of the low success rate of cloning are uncertain, but it is likely that it is due to the inadequate reprogramming of the genes of the adult cell by the unfertilized egg. SOCIAL RELEVANCE There will be many different impacts on society if the government’s decides to ban, or not to ban animal cloning.

Many ethical and moral dilemmas arise when discussing human cloning, and one can have many positions for and against each. To understand the issues surrounding human cloning, one must have a basic

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.
