Pros And Cons Of Artificial Cloning
What is cloning? Cloning, a process in which genetically identical copies of a biological entity are produced. The copy is referred to as a clone because it has the same makeup as the original thing it was cloned from. Cloning can happen naturally through asexual reproduction where a one parent cell splits itself into two identical daughter cells. In humans cloning can happen naturally when a fertilized egg splits making two embryos with almost identical genetic makeup, although they do not look genetically identical to either parent. Artificial cloning in animals, or reproductive cloning, is what is erroneous since it can damage the original or the clone permanently. There are other forms of artificial cloning such as gene cloning and therapeutic

Skin cell) is removed from an animal and then transfer that DNA into an egg cell, is how they clone animals. When scientists clone animals it is harmful and usually never works. For about every 1,000 tries only 30 clones are successful(2). The animals that are cloned are born large and usually have trouble in their organs or LOS “large offspring syndrome.” Cloning harms animals and can kill them since the cloning has not been perfected. How many animals will have to be killed before the process is perfected?
There are some positives to cloning but only therapeutic cloning when it is used to replicate cells. Therapeutic cloning produces embryonic stem cells for creating tissues to replace injured or diseased tissues(3). This can be used to cure people not harm them. Artificial cloning can be good for the studies and discoveries that have been made but otherwise the animals that die are not helping anyone.
Cloning is a process in which an organism or cell is replicated. Cloning should stop because it is not natural, it is wrong to force specific results. Cloning causes animals to live a shorter amount of time or be born with LOS causing permanent damage. What is not natural should not be forced especially if the results are
