Cloning Extinct Animals Over the years, many animals became extinct through changes in the environment or predators. These animals balanced out the environment and the food chain. With them gone, the balance of the ecosystem is off. Cloning could bring them back and change that. “A clone is a genetically identical copy of an organism, and it may be naturally occurring or created in the lab” (Genetics Generation). Scientists should clone extinct animals because it can gives a lot of scientific knowledge…

replace an organ, bring back an extinct, endangered animal species would you do it, or help further medical science? Cloning is the process of creating an identical artificially cloned species by using their DNA and embryonic cells. The ethics of cloning has been controversy since the first famous success of a successful cloning of a sheep named Dolly which was recorded in 1997. Especially now with the most recent one now being the successful cloning of two Macaque Monkeys that were cloned in 2018.…

Adam Roach Honors Biology Mrs. Parks December 9, 2013 Cloning and Gene Mapping: Good or Bad? What would the world be like if we could create alternate versions of ourselves? What if we had the capability to make a copy of ourselves in hopes that they would do work and other tasks for us? These are a few of the things that people could do with cloning. They could exploit this technology for personal gain that is unnecessary, but this scientific advance could also be used to replace dysfunctional…

As there are pros to de-extinction, there are also cons to de-extinction such as: de-extinction: unnaturalness, animal welfare concerns, hubris, and ecological and health concerns (Sandler et al. 2014). The process of de-extinction would involve engineering life and creating organisms with genetic material from multiple species. Some scientists believe this is an unnatural endeavor, depending on species boundaries having ethical significance, such that creating transgenic’ s (Yes it is spelled right)…

about the Legalization of Human Cloning Human Cloning Human Cloning, what started off as a monumental and astounding achievement in Biology, has recently become one of the most controversial and talked about issues in the world. Human cloning is defined as the process or practice of creating a genetically identical copy of an individual or the cells and tissues of the individual. It can be divided into 2 categories and they are (i) Human reproductive cloning, where a human cone is created…

mistakes. If scientists were to begin to bring back animals that have already gone extinct, these animals could go extinct once again and therefore history would be repeating itself. Many scientists believe that by the process of bringing extinct animals back onto this earth it will be effective. This process is also know as de-extinction. however there are many people that say the opposite of this, they say that there is no need to bring these animals back. Bringing these species back will make things…

In order to obtain an embryonic stem cell, a 14-day old fetus is used and destroyed for is cells. People who associate with pro-life disagree with this practice. They believe that life is created at conception, and through embryonic stem cell research, babies are being aborted for scientific research. Kelly Hollowell supports this claim by saying, “cloning proves scientifically that life begins at conception.” People who disagree with the use of embryonic stem cells also have a problem with…
