Why Cloning is Bad
You are a scientist and you find out that the animal you cloned had defects in its body. Advances in science like cloning are bad because if one animal’s DNA has an error, it could give the other animal a defect as well. One reason I think cloning is bad is because clones could develop cancer. They could also turn out to be unfounded. Lastly, they could get heart and lung defects. Scientists should stop cloning animals because they could possibly give the animal defects. If an endangered species is being cloned, the scientists might think it will save the animals, but it can also give them organ defects. Another thing is that animal clones age faster. Also, Clones are bigger than the original animal which can cause breathing

    “Through the research leading up to human cloning we will perfect the technology to clone animals, and thus we could forever preserve endangered species, including human beings,” (Smith 2). “...Scientists have been working to clone species that became extinct more recently, using DNA from well-preserved tissue samples,” (Why Clone? 2). There are many animals that are important to Earth and they are going extinct. For example, bees are considered an endangered animal and they are very important to Earth.

    In the article Bringing Them Back to Life by Carl Zimmer, scientists are debating on whether they should bring back extinct animals or not. Some say that it would be cool to actually “de-extinct” an animal, but is it really worth the time and money to do so? Cloning can involve several different processes such as injecting nuclei into other animal cells, restructuring genomes and reprogramming cells. Bringing back or cloning animals from the past would be great scientific achievement but then again the past is the past and should maybe left that way. There is great debate of de-extinction; the pros of scientific advancement and preservation or the cons of playing God and wasting money.…
