The Controversy Of Cloning Animals

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?

First, cloning is a bad thing because most things that undergo cloning have many medical disorders and die an early death. On https://listontap.com/10-reasons-human -cloning-bad-society-large/ they gave marvelous examples why. It took exactly 277 eggs to make a clone of Dolly. That shows how little attempt at cloning fail. Another thing is Many cloned animals have under formed hearts lungs and other organs. That just goes to show how cloning animals is not very practical for the animals only live around half the lifespan of their breed of animal. Take Dolly's clone her clone died at, 6 years old, half of what sheep of her breed live. Over all cloning is mostly unsuccessful.

As many movies and articles predict the future; how is one to know that they are not that far off from the truth. With new sciences continually coming out such as designer babies, cloning, and AI society must be cautious as to how far and what it discovers. With several stories as Frankenstein and Liar that portray how the sciences go wrong; one begins to wonder if this is story or an accurate prediction. Society needs to be cautious as it goes deeper into unknown sciences involving technology because pushing too hard can be harmful, it takes only time to bring up the worst and best, and once the line of morally correct is crossed into the darkness there is no return.

PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo, said in a statement “Cloning is a horror show: a waste of lives, time, and money such experiments cause is unimaginable.” So we know that time and money are very important, so is cloning? It would take a lot of money and time to make a clone of someone or something. Cloning is bad. You are ignoring the religious beliefs.

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

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

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.

Six deaths have to be made before perfection. Cloning dead or alive animals is wrong. Death is not something people should be messing with. Death happens for a reason. When an animal is cloned it won’t come out the same as your old dog. It may have birth defects, its behavior will be different, and plus it’s very expensive to do.

Why is cloning such a controversy? According to William Dudley, “A clone is a genetic duplicate of a living thing”(“Background to Controversy: Basic Questions About Cloning” 7). Therapeutic and reproductive cloning are the two main types of cloning that are controversially fought over to become illegal. Cloning began in 1894 when Hans Driesch cloned a sea urchin, and continued in 1928 when Hans Spemann cloned a salamander using the same technique of “twinning” as Hans Driesch. In 1996, Dolly the sheep was the first cloned mammal. Since Dolly, scientists have been able to clone deer, ferrets, mules, more sheep, goats, cows, mice, pigs, rabbits, a gaur, dogs, and even a cat using the same method of cloning called SCNT (Manninen). Even though

Clones are humans. This statement embodies the crux of the controversy regarding the ethics of human cloning. If clones are humans, then they should receive the same rights as humans who were born ‘naturally’. But how do you determine humanity? The film Never Let Me Go (2010), based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel of the same name, helps answer the question “Should we clone?” by establishing that humanity is more than the way one enters the world and by highlighting the unethical issues that may arise from cloning.

     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

Animal cloning is a big controversy in modern media and in the medical field. Animal cloning benefits many people. Animal cloning is very interesting, you can clone your long lost family pet, you can resurrect extinct animals, and it offers medical breakthroughs. I think it should be practiced more and made more available to the public. Animal cloning has been proved successful on July 5,1996 the first animal was cloned. It was a female sheep named Dolly, so animal coning is an effective practice. There are 2 ways to clone animals, embryo cloning and nuclear transfer. Embryo cloning is where a tidbit of sperm is retracted from an animal and put into a petri dish with an egg from another animal , then fertilization occurs. Once the egg is

In this present day and age, cloning has gained much controversy in relation to its development and scientific use. Applying this contentious process to extinct organisms – known as ‘de-extinction’ - fuels further debate. Through various experiments – the first instance of cloning, Dolly the sheep in 1997, scientists have observed that this could serve as a gateway for further scientific discoveries. Also, it has been hypothesised that an ecosystem could highly benefit from the revival of an extinct species. Nonetheless, however advantageous it appears for some scientific development, the act of cloning an extinct organism itself has major implications involving the welfare of the animal itself. The controversy has also arisen

Religious views are prevalent, so too are numerous ethical concerns. The issue of whether or not the government should ban cloning has gained progressive attention, as the science of animal cloning is further perfected. BIOLOGICAL BACKGROUND Animal cloning is the process of creating a biological replicate of another organism with the

Cloning is a number of different processes that can be used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity; in short it is an identical duplicate of something living. Cloning does occur naturally by single celled organism through asexual reproduction, they make a new individual from themselves not having to use a partner, so if cloning is already done by these single celled organisms; why is artificial cloning portrayed so badly in movies and media? Most of the problem lies with artificial cloning being done on humans and the morals it “destroys”, testing can be done on anything else except for humans and that’s a problem because no other organism can be used for testing that is like us humans. There are similarities between some, but nothing that can be for sure without the use of humans. Religious, societal, and the destroying of human embryos are some of the ethical standpoint of cloning, reproductive cloning is highly against moral code but hasn’t even been proven to have been used. Yet there is actually a field of genetic cloning that has been working for some time gene, cloning has aided greatly in the medical field and therapeutic cloning may not be that far behind.
