Background
Clones are organisms that are exact genetic copies. Every single bit of their DNA is identical.
Benefits of Cloning
· Bringing back dinosaurs
· Bringing back deceased pets
· We could produce more meat if we cloned cows
· Help with pollution because you could clone plants of the best trees and plant them in polluted areas
· Helping endangered animals have a larger population
· If a person is infertile they could have a clone if they take the parents DNA.
Dangers of Cloning
· It may take many tries to create this clone
· Some of the clones will have defects when born such as a nub of some sort.
· It takes time for a clone to be made so the public may get angry for taking too long
· If we clone humans bad people may clone themselves so they can live longer and rule a country or empire longer.
