The more and more effort we put into funding cloning the greater chance it will improve
When people think of cloning they pay attention to the fact of how immoral it can be, but you have to look beyond that to see how much we could gain from cloning as a species.
Cloning offers us the ability to save hundreds of nearly extinct species that have sadly been killed constantly by humans over the years. It helps us look into the past, centuries ago when wild mammoth roamed the plains, saber toothed tigers that hunted their prey in the mountains, the dodo a very simple bird could be brought back so we can …show more content…
observe and may be learn from these prehistoric animals.
For example Said states “Sperling's deep pockets have helped Genetic Saving vault ahead of competitors, So far it has spent 10 million dollars and expect to spend 5$ million by the time it breaks even, which Hawthorn predicts will be next year” (Said, 34)
Furthermore Said says that “...Cloning working animals, such as seeing-eye dogs and search and rescue dogs.” (Said, 21)
Cloning offers us the ability of saving hundreds of lives by creating organs using cloning, of course that may be years away we can make it go faster if we fund cloning with everything we have.
For all those that think cloning humans would be the main focus the cloning of human being in labs have been unsuccessful so far it by the looks of it that will not be changing anytime soon.
John Farrell states “In addition, generating iPSCs from adult skin cells, for example, can take between four and six months on average. That's a long time to wait for any potential therapy for a patient suffering from a heart condition.” (Farrell, 3)
Furthermore Farrell himself says “Needless to say, the approach is controversial, as it would mean routinely generating human embryos in the lab for a process that ultimately destroys them.”(Farrell, 3)
Although I understand that this is one of the most controversial topics that will most likely brought up in the coming years and how immoral and wrong cloning domestic animals or even cloning full humans, i will hold my ground and state that people need to move past it and focus on what it can
become.
Farrell says “Arthur Caplan, Head of the Division of Medical Ethics NYU's Langone Medical Center, is not worrying about an army of marching clones anytime soon. But, he writes, a ban should be put in place.”(Farrell, 4)
