Cloning is Possible
Some Creatures who have been Cloned:
Dolly the Sheep
Little Nicky the Cat
Idaho Gem the Mule
Cloning can be Good
Some Pros of Cloning:
- People can be cured of diseases and illnesses.
- Scientists can study more diseases that humans can get.
- People can create clones of loved ones who have passed.
- They can make longer and better (less sick) lives of people who are not blessed with health.
- They can be used to advance modern science even farther.
Cloning can also be bad
Some Cons of Cloning:
- When clones are used for medical purposes, people are destroying a living creature.
- When cloning doesn't work, the clone dies.
- If that isn't bad enough, it ends up being a waste of time and money.
- If a clone used for transplant has an unknown defect, it can seriously harm the patient.
- Beliefs of cloning can cause large disagreement, which can lead to stuff a government doesn't want to deal with.
