Should Cloning of Animals and Humans Be Legal
Should cloning of animals and humans be legal?
For my immediate response, I think that cloning of animals and humans should be illegal. This is because there is a high that the clones will develop mutations.
The way cloning works is called fusion cell cloning. This process only needs two animals. It first starts of by taking the nucleus out of an adult cell. It’s then placed into an empty egg and it’s given an electric shock, causing it to fuse together. Finally it forms a new cell and it’s ready to be an embryo. Another process is called adult cell cloning. This is the same process as fusion cell cloning, but it requires a third animal or human. The new cell is placed in the third animal and then it can be born.
The good points about cloning are that it can save animals from extinction. Or even bring back a species which are already extinct. Another good point about cloning is that it can clone your pets or prized animals so they can continue after the original. Anyone can clone themselves, so there is no worry of not having a clone. And lastly, it can clone spare body and organ parts, which could save your life.
On the other hand, there are bad points about cloning. The success rates of cloning are very low. Cloning has a 70% failure rate of being mutated. Another bad point is that it will reduce variety in people. So if the environment changes, the clones wouldn’t be able to adapt to the environment.
In the future, we can use cloning for creative applications. For example, you can put useful genes into plants. Such as putting a drought resistant gene into a plant, so it can live in dry areas. Scientists can ‘cut’ out genes and make copies. You can use these copies in case you need spare body parts or organs.
After looking in depth at the information about cloning, I think that cloning should be illegal to clone. I think this because we haven’t perfected cloning and there is a high chance that the new clone will develop mutations and deformities. But,
