Animal cloning
The first animal clone was dolly sheep, cloning an animal costs $20,000 for each one but it’s worth the money. The cloned animals won’t be for food yet they will be used to breed with other animals of the same kind, they won’t be cloned for eating until there tested. Cloning animals is safe and won’t hurt any other animals in the process. When cloning an animal even if it’s for breeding the scientist will be able to tell if the animal has a disease develop like the mad cow. If the economy and the way we breed animals can change for the better then cloning is the best thing to do. With cloning endangered animals could be cloned to save them from becoming extinct. Cloning animals isn’t always going to come out the way the scientist want it to, sometimes they have to clone 50 to 60 times before the animals come out right. Sometimes they will even come out retarded or with two heads, but when scientist find out how clone animals the first time then humans will be able to clone any animals they want. Many scientists want to bring back animals that are already extinct but many people think it’s against god’s nature. What’s wrong with cloning and bringing back animals that are already extinct? Many people believe that if scientist ever found a way to clone animals perfectly then the government will use cloning for his own purposes. Who knows even in the future cloning will be used to clone human organs and that could save hundreds of life’s. http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/biology/b103/f00/web1/tamang.html
