Should You Clone Your Pet Robert Matson Summary

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?

My opinion is that pet cloning is bad. Why you ask because imagine a poor dog die all over again. Do you really want to spend over 50000 dollars, to watch a dog die again? How would you feel losing your dog again?

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 can argue that cloning the pets might be out of the way of evolution. Wisdom teeth can be used for an example of this. Human kinds had used these teeth to chew grass or tough stuff when they were cavemen. During the time, necessity of these teeth is eliminated and some of the people have never had them or wisdom teeth do not appear properly so, most of the people have a surgery to remove them. This example can be commented as adaptation for the environment and it is necessary for natural selection. Furthermore, child development might be affected of cloning. Children should learn the death to have a strong stance in life and pet cloning is not realistic to understand the real world.

Cloning has never been the answer if you have lost somebody or something.There could be problems while the cloning process is happening and the clone could come out wrong. The clone could have something wrong that it could die and kill the person it was cloned after. The people of the world think that a kid

Cloning, human or animal, is not right and it should not be allowed to happens as it takes away uniqueness. Uniqueness is something precious that you have in life from birth. To have that taken away from you would be violating your right to live. What makes you so special if your parents can decide how you turn out? You want to have something that distinguishes you, because that's what makes you unique. “It will closely resemble the original animal in physical appearance and behavioral tendencies.”(Said, pg.2). “Cloning

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

I think cloning a deceased pet is a terrible idea because, it seems extremely disrespectful. To me it seems like you’re replacing your pet, and if you don’t mind replacing a pet with a genetic copy the original pet must not have met that much to you. If a beloved family member died would you create a copy of them? I know I wouldn’t. How would you feel if one day you die and are immediately replaced by a genetic copy of yourself. Doesn't that take away from who you are? Every human on earth is different from each other and creating an exact replica of any living thing makes it less like a living creature and more like something that can be mass produced in a factory. Everyone is special and I think cloning takes away from that. Another reason I’m against cloning recreationally (cloning for your enjoyment not to cure diseases and sniff out bombs and such) is if you have a younger child that’s dog dies and you decide to clone it, doesn’t that take away the perpetuity of death for this child? If someone close to this child dies and they think they can just replace them than the shock of that being untrue will be much worst than their grief over a deceased dog. To conclude my complicated opinion, when something/someone is dead leave it to rest! Horror movies have taught that messing with others lives (or deaths) only ends bad for you.

Cloning is bad because it transfers everything including diseases and abnormalities that the first person might have. The clone has a very high chance of having the same issues that the first person

     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.

Pets shouldn't be cloned because they get more angry when cloned. When a family's pet died they cloned him and he got more vicious and attacked one of the kids almost killing him. This shows that pets can be vicious. They are not the same when cloned. When the family got there cloned pet the pet was trying to bite them and escape. This shows pets shouldn’t be cloned. They get more angry. Since cloning pets can make them vicious they shouldn't clone them.

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

Is cloning your pet worth it? This is an option many pet owners are considering, but before you decide, there are many things to consider. While cloning has it’s risks, some believe cloning your pet can help relieve grief. However, cloning does not always work. Cloning animals shouldn’t be allowed because of possible health issues,extreme expenses, and it is not proven to be consistent.

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

Cloning is an issue now and will be in the in the future,animals are cloned all the time.Does the human race want to have a copy of itself. We need to understand what is happening to the cloned animals and what could possibly happen to us if we were to be cloned.
