Why Cloning is a Good Idea by Joshua Lellock
On July 5, 1996, the first fully successful clone was created. Her name was Dolly, she was a sheep, and her creation marked a new era of genetic technology. However soon after her creation, people started protesting cloning. They said that cloning was inhumane, impractical, and some just said it was stupid. I, however, disagree with people and I will tell you why. I will go over both why I think cloning is a good idea as well as why I don’t think it’s inhumane. First thing first there are many reasons why I feel cloning is a good idea, one of these reasons is because of endangered species. With current methods, we are able to stop a few species from going extinct however there are still a lot of species that die off and there is no way to save them. However, with cloning, as long as there are at least one male and one female we could save every endangered species.

The baby would be its own person, and would never look the exactly like the parent because on different styles and the age difference.
Therefore, to sum everything up cloning would have multiple advantages, with little to no drawbacks. Sure cloning could be misused but no more than something like a computer could. Think about it a computer could be used for good things like say, donating to charity, but at the same time it could be used for something like hacking or cyberterrorism. The same thing can be said for cloning, good and bad depending on who is using it. This is why, that overall cloning is a good
