I don't support the cloning of animals. The pro of cloning animals is that you might be able to bring endangered species back out of extinction. The con is that when you clone too many of the same animal (i.e., endangered animals) they might get to be a problem and there won't be as much genetic variation when you mate two cloned animals. Another pro of cloning would be that you could bring a deceased pet back to life, the con is that they [authorities in shelters] want people to adopt more pets instead of buy them because the number of animals in shelters are rising.... I think that cloning is also not ethical... think about this: did the animal ALLOW you to clone it????? xD
I'm a vegetarian, and I don't believe in really harming animals. Although some might argue that cloning them is not harming them, like Ariel said, it's not like the given animal signed a permission slip and it was all agreed to. Animals should not be cloned - if animals could talk, you don't know what they would say about you trying to en-nucleate their cells!
i do and do not support the cloning of animals. it's interesting how they look the same yet would act different. And you could save endangered species from becoming extinct. But the would be no variation in offspring, so they would all look the same. i think cloning is ethical (maybe not for humans though. we're not going extinct) for animals because I don't see the problems with it, and it could save endangered species

HEY I REMEMBER SEEING THIS IN SCIENCE CLASS TODAY :D
ReplyDeletePSH, too easy! (even though we did it in class)
ReplyDeleteI looked at your other blog Mrs.Alonso, it was pretty cool.
