For the past few years, scientists have been working on a cloning experiment. Cloning is where one thing is taken and and another one is made. One just like it. Mostly, animals have been cloned. They have been cloned with many fails, and some success.
When cloning, it’s kind of like a surgery. A cell of the original animal is taken out and placed into another one. This causes the new “parent” to have stress and give birth to a clone of the original animal. 1 out of 250 chances will be successful. Many will fail.
Is cloning right? Well, there’s always a chance of the cloning process going well. It could bring back, or give memories of the other pet. It might feel the same, but unfortunately it’s not. Although, it could be like extra years spent together.

Well, there is definitely a chance of cloning going wrong. Many things could happen. The memories wouldn’t be the same because it’s not the same pet; never will be. No matter how much they look alike or act alike, it’s not the same. Cloning could also lead to personal depression because it’s a reminder that they will never get their pet
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.
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.
Would you risk so many problems to have another pet identical to the one you already have or already had? There are so many pets in the world, why would we clone to make more? Things could wrong with cloning and it would be weird. For instance, I don’t understand why people would clone their dog, Sally, to help with grief. When they are grieving because Sally died. That would be weird most of the time.
What are the chances that the animal will sustain its habits or existence after cloning.
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
It takes multiple puppies to get the cloning process correct. Which is usually around 5-6 puppies. (Lewis 22) Some puppies are born with thick muscles in their necks which renders them from breathing. That means they slowly suffocate. The same goes for birds. When some birds are cloned they lose their instincts for things such as nest building, or getting food, or staying away from certain animals. (Lewis 22) The animal won’t live as long either.
The first reason not to clone is simple. It's too expensive. You're going to pay at least one-thousand dollars to bring your dog back to life when there are already millions of dogs in shelters just waiting to be rescued.Therefore, your only going to make more work for the shelter’s workers.
Cloning is a process in which the genetic material of a pet is used to make a cluster of cells called an embryo, which is then implanted in the womb of a female dog, which would then give birth to the “clone”.
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
In the article, “Should You Clone Your Pet” the author talks about the positives and negatives of cloning animals. I good thing about cloning your pet is that you may have the same pet again. The bad thing is that it costs thousands of dollars for something that has a one and one-thousand chance of working and being exactly the same as your real pet. My opinion is a negative towards cloning but, I am not going to say why yet, I guess you’re gonna have to keep reading to find out.
What is Animal Cloning? It is defined as a cell, group of cells, or an organism that is produced asexually from and is identical to a single ancestor. Cloning is also known as the nuclear cloning methodology using the nuclear transfer in early 1950’s. Animal Cloning was first tried in amphibians. The main problem in animal cloning up to this time is the efficiency of the process, how effective it is for us. The recent effectiveness of Nuclear Transfer is underprivileged. The result of nuclear transfer is not really a clone because it possesses larger differences from monozygotic twins. The public has a great dissatisfaction against cloning for it is not fair to the animals and is in opposition to the law of
Although the word itself has only been around for only four decades, the idea of creating an organism identical to another has been around for centuries. Even nature has utilized this process. The actual process of artificially cloning has been around since before 1900s, even though it is heard of more often in the modern world. Cloning began in 1894 with the first clone of an organism. Hans Dreisch was able to clone a sea urchin, and his research led to Hans Spemann’s multiple attempts and successes of cloning throughout his science years. As technology advanced, Robert Briggs and Thomas King used Spemann’s results to create the process of nuclear transfer used in modern cloning techniques. After many debates over
What if the cloning does not come out as you’ve planed because all the problems that it has. That means the clone could come out having more problems that we talked about. But let’s talk about the momma of the animal. What do people think about her, is she going thru pain. Is she doing good with the birth of the clone baby. If this did work out don’t you think the baby would come out with problems. Don’t you think she would feel bad if her baby came out died because your wanted to clone your animal that has died.
This was the case for a couple living in Texas: they cloned their beloved pet Chance, a Brahman bull, but the results were quite a surprise. Chance was a kind, and timid bull, unlike others of his kind, and loved to take pictures with children; when he died, it greatly devastated the couple. Eventually, they payed to clone Chance. In contrary, the cloned Chance didn’t have the gentle manner the previous Chance had; the clone was restless, and very violent. Furthermore, the husband had to be hospitalized several times after quite a few violent encounters with the pet. Cloning has this aspect and effect on animals, which is one reason why people are strongly against human cloning. In addition, although there aren’t any studies uet that specifically study the behavior of cloned animals and pets, research on cloned cows and pigs prove that there are behavioral differences and even some difference in the phenotype. Therefore, cloning truly doesn’t bring back one’s pet, for that they are different
If the scientist didn't clone that animal right the animal will die and nobody want your favorite animal to die off that and they knew is dangerous. Some people say its ok to clone but they don't know what will happen. Scientist are working on cloning so it will work and to be safe for humans. The people that are for cloning might be right but i think they not right. So cloning might work if the scientist keep working on it and so the people that want to clone they can be safe about it.
