Animal cloning is detrimental in society Animal cloning is detrimental in society and should not be practiced due to numerous failure rates, the negative effects on the health and welfare of the cloned animals, and the major expense that it incurs. Many believe that cloning is against God’s wishes because the clones would be created by man. Man would be playing as God, clones would be created without a soul. “Cloning is great,If God made the original, then making copies should be fine” This concern has been expressed by Douglas Coupland.

Life is precious and priceless and when I heard that scientist are cloning …show more content…
“Over the last 50 years, scientists have conducted cloning experiments in a wide range of animals using a variety of techniques. In 1979, researchers produced the first genetically identical mice by splitting mouse embryos in the test tube and then implanting the resulting embryos into the wombs of adult female mice. shortly after that, researchers produced the first genetically identical cows, sheep and chickens” as quoted by (Kolata,nytimes.com). Some scientist that make this heinous monsters that are called clones are Dr. Tanja Dominko. “Dr Dominko was inspired to make the world's first cloned monkey after the first cloned animal, which was Dolly,the cloned sheep, it took two-hundred and sixty seven attempts by Scottish researchers finally produced. Dr. Dominko was so stirred that she waised three years of her life try to make a cloned monkey. Dr. Dominko tried about three-hundred attempts, the best she got was a placenta with no fetus. After she wasted three years for her life, she now works for Advanced Cell Technology, the Worcester, Mass., company that is a vigorous advocate of commercial cloning technology, and that made the startling assertion last month that it was trying to clone humans”.

The primary concern is that something unanticipated might have occurred during the cloning process, causing the animal to be genetically or developmentally abnormal” (Novella, sciencebasedmedicine.org)But would you ever eat an animal that contains Large Offspring Syndrome, brain lesions, skeletal malformations and incomplete development of the vascular tract ,pneumonia,lethargy, cardiomyopathy and metabolic problems, because to me that sounds
