Persuasive Essay On Egyptian Tigers
A Tasmanian Tiger is also called a Thylacine. Tasmanian Tigers are extinct. They were killed because people hunted them. The last one to survive was in 1960. They were marsupials but they were carnivores. There’s debate whether or not they should be brought back through cloning. Tasmanian tigers should not be cloned. This should not even be a topic for discussion. If they were brought back then there would be an overpopulation of them, cloning could be harmful, and a price would be paid not only with money but with God too. In “Jurassic Park” they tried to keep the population of the dinosaurs to a limit by creating only females. They just didn’t think things through when they thought of this plan. “All vertebrate embryos are inherently female, anyway. They just require an extra hormone given at the right developmental stage to make them male. If there’s one thing the history of evolution has taught us, it’s that life will not be contained. Life breaks free. Expands to new territories and it crashes through barriers, painfully, and maybe even dangerously, but there it is” (Jurassic Park). There are some female animals that can reproduce on their own. Take the spotted hyena for example.

“Their clitoris is so enlarged it’s often referred to as a pseudo penis. It’s capable of erection, and the female has sex, urinates, and gives birth through it” (7 Gender-Altering Animals). Also in the Jurassic Park movie it pointed out that “some West African frogs have been known to change sex from male to female in a single sex environment.” Our world would not be able to handle an abundance of tasmanian tigers because we wouldn’t have a place to house them. “In just the last few decades, rapidly growing human settlements have consumed large amounts of land in our country, while wildlife habitats have shrunk, fragmented, or disappeared altogether” (Effects of Overpopulation: Wildlife and Habitat Destruction). Cloning can be harmful in the event. “The process of nuclear transfer cloning starts with the nucleus of the extinct animal cell being inserted into an unfertilized egg cell, and then this egg cell is placed into a surrogate mother. Nuclear transfer using an udder cell of a frozen, preserved ewe, cloned Dolly and she successfully lived for almost seven years. Eventually, Dolly succumbed to lung problems and died, which is a common problem in animals cloned by nuclear transfer” (De-extinction of the Tasmanian Tiger). University of Utah Health Sciences mentioned this about the risk of cloning, “Cloned animals that do survive tend to be much bigger at birth than their natural counterparts. Scientists call this ‘Large Offspring Syndrome’ (LOS). Clones with LOS have abnormally large organs. This can lead to breathing, blood flow and other problems. Because LOS doesn't always occur, scientists cannot reliably predict whether it will happen in any given clone. Also, some clones without LOS have developed kidney or brain malformations and impaired immune systems, which can cause problems later in life” (What Are the Risks of Cloning?). Another source said that “a certain percentage of the puppies suffered from physical abnormalities, which led him to conclude that it's not a consumer-ready technology.”(Why cloning is a terrible way to bring your pet dog back from the dead) Cloning is plain wrong.
In Jurassic Park it was mentioned that, “God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs. Dinosaurs eat man.” As we can see, God did not create cloning. Man is playing God when doing so. We can not get back the past and recreate Tasmanian Tigers just so one can try and feel better about themselves. In Jurassic Park a comment was made, “It’s still the flea circus. It’s all an illusion. You’ve never had control! That’s the illusion.” Creating Tasmanian Tigers would be just the same theory, an illusion. “The cells of any living thing contain a complete set of genetic information or instructions for itself. Dolly was a copy or “clone” of a sheep”. The Scientific and Scriptural Case Against Human
Cloning
A Preliminary Commentby Mark Looy and Ken Ham on November 27, 2001 So not only will it cost you your soul but it will cost a great penny too. “Edgar and Nina Otto spent $155,000 in getting their beloved deceased dog, named Sir Lancelot, cloned”.(By DAILY MAIL REPORTERPUBLISHED: 18:02 EST, 8 May 2012 | UPDATED: 23:55 EST, 8 May 2012) Rick said, “Dolly cost a total of approximately $750,000”.http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/1999-11/942417896.Cb.r.html. It would be a high price to pay for bringing back Tasmanian Tigers.
Cloning is not a good way too carry out life. Cloning wouldn’t be ideal just to try and bring Tasmanian Tigers back to life. It’s hard to get back what has been done. We just have to live from the past and not kill our future animals. If their on the endangered list then we need to make sure our animals are breeding and making life on their own. Tasmanian Tigers will never be able to come back to this world in a true form, so let’s just let them be at peace, dead.
