Description:Description:

• Cloning is creating an organism that is an Cloning is creating an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another. exact genetic copy of another.

• There are clones that weren’t made in a There are clones that weren’t made in a lab, in fact they are natural identical lab, in fact they are natural identical twins.twins.

• By copying the exact DNA you are By copying the exact DNA you are performing (molecular cloning), andperforming (molecular cloning), and the exact cells would be performing (cell the exact cells would be performing (cell cloning).cloning).

PROS:PROS:• Cloning allows the breeder to make copies Cloning allows the breeder to make copies

of the best, this will allow them to get the of the best, this will allow them to get the most success they can.most success they can.

• Opens up many options for breeder’s to go Opens up many options for breeder’s to go in many directions with the best genetics.in many directions with the best genetics.

• Cloning will reduce the rate of certain Cloning will reduce the rate of certain animals going extinct.animals going extinct.

• Improves Quality and Quantity of organismImproves Quality and Quantity of organism

CONS:CONS:

• Defects are sometimes found in clones.Defects are sometimes found in clones.

• There are moral and ethical concerns There are moral and ethical concerns about cloningabout cloning

• “ “ Host mothers” suffer because Host mothers” suffer because unusually high rates of abortions. unusually high rates of abortions.

• Product of clone comes out oversized, Product of clone comes out oversized, repertory and cardiac problems.repertory and cardiac problems.

Who Started itWho Started it????• You may wonder You may wonder

who started cloning who started cloning and the answer to and the answer to that is a scientist that is a scientist named Ian Wilmut. named Ian Wilmut. His first clone was His first clone was done on a sheep done on a sheep named Dolly. There named Dolly. There are many reasons are many reasons that it started. that it started.

Why did start CloningWhy did start Cloning?..?..

•One reason it was started was so One reason it was started was so that the best traits of animals could that the best traits of animals could be put together to make food be put together to make food healthier and supply humans with a healthier and supply humans with a better meat supply. This would have better meat supply. This would have the human population healthier and the human population healthier and getting more nutrients out of food getting more nutrients out of food they eat daily.they eat daily.

Cloning started Cloning started continuation…continuation…• Another was for the reasons that it could produce Another was for the reasons that it could produce

genetic models of human diseases. This would genetic models of human diseases. This would allow them to observe and understand diseases allow them to observe and understand diseases and figure out cures for them. Things like Infertility, and figure out cures for them. Things like Infertility, Kidney failure, leukemia, cancer, cystic fibrosis, Kidney failure, leukemia, cancer, cystic fibrosis, spinal cord injury’s, and testing for genetic spinal cord injury’s, and testing for genetic diseases can all be made simpler. They could also diseases can all be made simpler. They could also find out information on the reason for ageing and find out information on the reason for ageing and would be able to extend or prevent it. Lives can be would be able to extend or prevent it. Lives can be extended because they will take the best genes, extended because they will take the best genes, ones that are prone against sickness and infection ones that are prone against sickness and infection and this will make lives last longer. This is the and this will make lives last longer. This is the many positives that come with cloning. many positives that come with cloning.

Cloning has negativity:Cloning has negativity:

• Along with the good comes the negative effects Along with the good comes the negative effects of cloning. The affects can be dangerous. There of cloning. The affects can be dangerous. There has been political fights just for the fact that has been political fights just for the fact that biological coping is taking place. Majority of the biological coping is taking place. Majority of the people who can afford to do the process of people who can afford to do the process of cloning think its an asset to the future. When it cloning think its an asset to the future. When it comes to involving our live stock with this comes to involving our live stock with this technology a great number of people are technology a great number of people are concerned with the question of something going concerned with the question of something going wrong, if milk was poisonous there is a great wrong, if milk was poisonous there is a great number of people that would die. The scary thing number of people that would die. The scary thing to cloning is that the so called mistake could in to cloning is that the so called mistake could in fact be on purpose. The person behind the fact be on purpose. The person behind the disaster of cloning could no exactly what there disaster of cloning could no exactly what there doing, purposely hurting or killing something that doing, purposely hurting or killing something that is in there way.is in there way.

Religious believers view on Religious believers view on Cloning:Cloning:

• Also strong believers in God protest Also strong believers in God protest against cloning. People see it threw the against cloning. People see it threw the point of view that cloning would be a point of view that cloning would be a conflict with the way God wanted conflict with the way God wanted things to be. The fact that another things to be. The fact that another organisms is not being put into this organisms is not being put into this world by God or through natural birth Is world by God or through natural birth Is going against the way heavy followers going against the way heavy followers believe its supposed to be done.believe its supposed to be done.

FUTURE:FUTURE:

• People’s lives will be years longer. People’s lives will be years longer.

• There will be cures to diseases and There will be cures to diseases and infections that we don’t know today.infections that we don’t know today.

• Food will be made healthier.Food will be made healthier.

• Best of live stalk will be alive.Best of live stalk will be alive.
